And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

The verse 16 is found in chapter 25 of Jeremiah. The cup of the wine of wrath represents judgment that will reach numerous nations. Jerusalem drinks first, but the reach extends to peoples and kingdoms. The image shows that divine judgment is not exclusive to Israel and that the nations are also subject to Yahweh’s moral authority.

daß sie trinken, taumeln und toll werden vor dem Schwert, das ich unter sie schicken will.
Y beberán, y temblarán, y enloquecerán delante del cuchillo que yo envío entre ellos.
Beberán, se tambalearán y enloquecerán a causa de la espada que enviaré en medio de ellas».
Ils boiront, et ils chancelleront et seront comme fous, A la vue du glaive que j'enverrai au milieu d'eux.
Esse ne berranno, e ne saranno stordite, e smanieranno, per la spada che io mando fra loro.
Para que bebam e tremam, e enlouqueçam, por causa da espada, que eu enviarei entre eles.
他們喝了就要東倒西歪,並要發狂,因我使刀劍臨到他們中間。」
