15 “Woe to you who make [a]your neighbors drink,
Who mix in your venom even to make them drunk
So as to look on their nakedness!
16 “You will be filled with disgrace rather than honor.
Now you yourself (A)drink and [b]expose your own nakedness.
The (B)cup in the Lord’s right hand will come around to you,
And (C)utter disgrace will come upon your glory.
17 “For the (D)violence [c]done to Lebanon will [d]overwhelm you,
And the devastation of its beasts [e]by which you terrified them,
(E)Because of human bloodshed and (F)violence [f]done to the land,
To the town and all its inhabitants.
