14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
as the waters cover the sea.

15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink,
that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also,
that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16 Thou art filled with shame for glory:
drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered:
the cup of the Lord’s right hand shall be turned unto thee,
and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.

15 “Woe to him who gives drink(C) to his neighbors,
    pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,
    so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!
16 You will be filled with shame(D) instead of glory.(E)
    Now it is your turn! Drink(F) and let your nakedness be exposed[a]!(G)
The cup(H) from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you,
    and disgrace will cover your glory.
