Jeremiah 25:15

Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto me: take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it." — Jeremiah 25:15 (ASV)

For thus says the Lord God. —In the Septuagint this is preceded by Jeremiah 46-51, which are in their turn in a different order from that of the Hebrew.

The wine cup of this fury.—Literally, the cup of wine, even this fury, or, better, this wrath.
