12So you shall say to them this word: Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Every jar will be filled with wine.’ And they will say to you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every jar will be filled with wine?’

13Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I am about to fill all the inhabitants of this land—and the kings who sit on David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem—with drunkenness.’

14And I will smash them against each other, man against his brother, fathers and sons together, declares Yahweh. I will not spare, nor will I pity, nor will I have compassion, from destroying them.
