For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

Denn wie ihr auf meinem heiligen Berge getrunken habt, so sollen alle Heiden täglich trinken; ja, sie sollen's aussaufen und verschlingen und sollen sein, als wären sie nie gewesen.
De la manera que vosotros bebisteis en mi santo monte, beberán, todas las gentes de continuo: beberán, y engullirán, y serán como si no hubieran sido.
Porque, así como ustedes bebieron en mi monte santo, todas las naciones beberán continuamente; beberán y tragarán, y serán como si nunca hubieran existido.
Car, comme vous avez bu sur ma montagne sainte, Ainsi toutes les nations boiront sans cesse; Elles boiront, elles avaleront, Et elles seront comme si elles n'avaient jamais été.
Perciocchè, siccome voi avete bevuto in sul monte mio santo, così berranno tutte le nazioni continuamente; anzi berranno, e inghiottiranno, e saranno come se non fossero state
Porque, como vós bebestes no meu santo monte, assim beberão também de contínuo todos os gentios; beberão, e sorverão, e serão como se nunca tivessem sido.
你們在我聖山怎樣喝了苦杯, 萬國必照樣不停地喝, 且喝且吞, 他們就必歸於無有。
