27“You shall say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, “Drink, be drunk, vomit, fall and rise no more because of the sword which I will send among you.”’ 28“And it will be, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you will say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “You shall surely drink! 29“For behold, I am beginning to work calamity in this city which is called by My name, and shall you be completely free from punishment? You will not be free from punishment; for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth,” declares the LORD of hosts.’

      30“Therefore you shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them,
         ‘The LORD will roar from on high
         And utter His voice from His holy habitation;
         He will roar mightily against His fold.
         He will shout like those who tread the grapes,
         Against all the inhabitants of the earth.

31‘A clamor has come to the end of the earth,
         Because the LORD has a controversy with the nations.
         He is entering into judgment with all flesh;
         As for the wicked, He has given them to the sword,’ declares the LORD.”

32Thus says the LORD of hosts,
         “Behold, evil is going forth
         From nation to nation,
         And a great storm is being stirred up
         From the remotest parts of the earth.

      33“Those slain by the LORD on that day will be from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be lamented, gathered or buried; they will be like dung on the face of the ground.

34“Wail, you shepherds, and cry;
         And wallow in ashes, you masters of the flock;
         For the days of your slaughter and your dispersions have come,
         And you will fall like a choice vessel.

35“Flight will perish from the shepherds,
         And escape from the masters of the flock.

36“Hear the sound of the cry of the shepherds,
         And the wailing of the masters of the flock!
         For the LORD is destroying their pasture,

37“And the peaceful folds are made silent
         Because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

38“He has left His hiding place like the lion;
         For their land has become a horror
         Because of the fierceness of the oppressing sword
         And because of His fierce anger.”
