Quick answer
The mixed peoples, the kings of Uz, the Philistine cities, and Ashdod's remnant must drink. A wide array of surrounding peoples shares in the judgment.
Overview
The cup passes to assorted neighboring peoples, including the Philistine strongholds of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and Ashdod. The sweeping list shows the comprehensive reach of God's judgment over the nations. None of the small powers around Judah escapes the LORD's righteous reckoning.
