¹⁰ Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off^(A) and cry:

¹¹ “The merchants^(D) of the earth will weep and mourn^(E) over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore^(F)— ¹² cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble;^{(G) 13} cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves.^(H)

¹⁴ “They will say, ‘The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.’ ¹⁵ The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her^(I) will stand far off,^(J) terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn^(K)

²⁶ I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord.^(A)”

²³ I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.^(A)

¹² I will make the land of Egypt desolate^(A) among devastated lands, and her cities will lie desolate forty years among ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries.^(B)

The Cup of God’s Wrath

¹⁵ This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup^(A) filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send^(B) you drink it. ¹⁶ When they drink^(C) it, they will stagger^(D) and go mad^(E) because of the sword^(F) I will send among them.”

¹⁷ So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations to whom he sent^(G) me drink it: ¹⁸ Jerusalem^(H) and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin^(I) and an object of horror and scorn,^(J) a curse^[a](K)—as they are today;^{(L) 19} Pharaoh king^(M) of Egypt,^(N) his attendants, his officials and all his people, ²⁰ and all the foreign people there; all the kings of Uz;^(O) all the kings of the Philistines^(P) (those of Ashkelon,^(Q) Gaza,^(R) Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod); ²¹ Edom,^(S) Moab^(T) and Ammon;^{(U) 22} all the kings of Tyre^(V) and Sidon;^(W) the kings of the coastlands^(X) across the sea; ²³ Dedan,^(Y) Tema,^(Z) Buz^(AA) and all who are in distant places^[b];^{(AB) 24} all the kings of Arabia^(AC) and all the kings of the foreign people^(AD) who live in the wilderness; ²⁵ all the kings of Zimri,^(AE) Elam^(AF) and Media;^(AG)
