27You shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink and become drunk, and vomit, and fall, and do not rise, because of the sword that I am sending among you.’

28And if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: You shall surely drink.’

29For behold, in the city over which my name is called, I am beginning to bring harm, and shall you indeed go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, for I am calling for a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, declares Yahweh of hosts.
