14 Do not (A)stand at the fork of the road
To cut down those among them who escape;
And do not deliver over their survivors
In the day of their distress.

The Day of Yahweh Is Near

15 “For the (B)day of Yahweh draws near on all the nations.
(C)As you have done, it will be done to you.
Your (D)dealings will return on your own head.
16 Because just as you all (E)drank on (F)My holy mountain,
All the nations (G)will drink continually.
They will drink and [a]swallow,
And they will be as if they never were.

As you have done, it will be done to you;

16 Just as you drank(D) on my holy hill,(E)
    so all the nations will drink(F) continually;
they will drink and drink
    and be as if they had never been.(G)
