16
For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so all the nations will drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 16. Drink. They shall rejoice at your fall, as you did at that of Juda; (Saint Jerome) or, as my people has not been spared, can you expect to escape? Jeremiah 49:12.—Not. These nations and the Chaldeans themselves were brought low, while the Jews regained the regal power. The cup denotes vengeance. Psalms 74:9. Plautus uses the same expression: ut senex hoc eodem poculo, quo ego bibi, biberet. Casina. Calmet.
