28 ¶ But if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then tell them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Ye shall certainly drink.

29 For lo, [a]I begin to plague the city, where my Name is called upon, and should you go free? Ye shall not go acquited: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts.

30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, (A)The Lord shall roar from above, and thrust out his voice from his holy habitation: he shall roar upon his habitation, and cry aloud, as they that press the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink(A), tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster(B) on the city that bears my Name,(C) and will you indeed go unpunished?(D) You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword(E) on all(F) who live on the earth,(G) declares the Lord Almighty.’

30 “Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them:

“‘The Lord will roar(H) from on high;
    he will thunder(I) from his holy dwelling(J)
    and roar mightily against his land.
He will shout like those who tread(K) the grapes,
    shout against all who live on the earth.
