14 For the earth will be as full
of the knowledge of Adonai’s glory
as water covering the sea.

15 “‘Woe to him who has his neighbor drink,
adds his own poison and makes him drunk,
in order to see him naked.
16 You are filled with shame, not glory.

The cup of Adonai’s right hand
will be turned against you;
your shame will exceed your glory.

    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)

    and disgrace will cover your glory.
