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

15 ‘Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbours,
    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 instead of glory.
    Now it is your turn! Drink and let your nakedness be exposed![a]
The cup from the Lord’s right hand is coming round to you,
    and disgrace will cover your glory.
