以色列族上帝耶和華諭我曰、我必震怒、錫爾以爵、盛以鴆酒、遣爾至列國、使彼咸飲。飲畢若狂、傾欹不定、蓋我必降以鋒刃之災。我即取爵而往、至耶和華所遣我諸國、使彼飲之、至耶路撒冷及猶大諸邑、與厥王公、使彼喪亡、見之者無不駭愕、怨聲咒詛、今日之事為徵。亦至埃及王法老、以及群臣眾庶、與非同族者、及烏士、非利士、亞實基倫、迦薩、以革倫國王亞實突遺民、以東、摩押、亞捫、推羅諸王、西頓諸王、海島諸王、底但、提馬、布斯、與薙髮之四周者、亞喇伯諸王、與異族諸王、同居曠野、心哩諸王、以攔諸王、米太諸王、北方諸王、無間遐邇、爰及天下列邦、厥後示殺王、亦飲斯爵。爾必告之曰、萬有之主以色列族之上帝耶和華云、予必擊爾以鋒刃、當飲斯爵、至於酩酊、至於哇吐、顛躓不起。如彼不受爵、不肯飲、爾當曰、萬有之主耶和華曰、爾必飲之。我既降災於斯邑、及籲我名之所、爾豈能免於患難、今以鋒刃、遍擊天下億兆、爾豈能逭厥刑罰。
