Bible verse
And they will drink and stagger and go out of their minds, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
Jeremiah 25:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Jeremiah 25.
12 But when seventy years are complete, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their guilt, declares the LORD, and I will make it an everlasting desolation.
13 I will bring upon that land all the words I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands.’”
15 This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from My hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink from it.
16 And they will drink and stagger and go out of their minds, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17 So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the nations drink from it, each one to whom the LORD had sent me,
18 to make them a ruin, an object of horror and contempt and cursing, as they are to this day—Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officials, his leaders, and all his people;
20 all the mixed tribes; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
