14 For the earth will be filled
    with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh,
    like the waters covering the sea.
15 Woe to him who gives a drink to his neighbors,
    pouring out your wrath and also making them drunk
    in order to see their nakedness!
16 You will be sated with shame rather than glory.
    Drink also yourself, and expose yourself!
The cup of the right hand of Yahweh
    will come around upon you
    and disgrace upon your glory.

    so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!

    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.
