    They will be drinking from the cup of punishment
    And will disappear from history.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “As my people were-been-punished at my holy mountain, all the nations will- also -be-punished continually. I will- surely -punish them (what-is)-exact-(for-them) until they will-vanish/disappear.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “My people in Jerusalem have been punished
    because I was very angry with them.
    It is as though they drank a cup of very bitter liquid on Zion, my sacred hill.
    But I will punish all the other nations even more severely,
    and cause them to disappear completely.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
