025:028 It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand
to drink, then shall you tell them, Thus says Yahweh
of Armies: You shall surely drink.
025:029 For, behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is
called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished?
You shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword

025:030 Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and tell them,
Yahweh will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his
holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold;
he will give a shout, as those who tread [the grapes],

025:032 Thus says Yahweh of Armies, Behold, evil shall go forth
from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up
