Jeremiah 25:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 For many nations, and great kings shall even [a]serve themselves of them: thus will I recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
15 For thus hath the Lord God of Israel spoken unto me, [b]Take the cup of wine of this mine indignation at mine hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
