The Chaldeans passionately pursuing their own glory is spoken of as if they were eating or drinking it greedily and excessively. Instead of attaining glory, they will find only shame. Alternate translation: “You will bring shame upon yourself instead of the glory that you seek”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) Drink

(Some words not found in UHB: sated_with shame instead_of,glory drink also/even you(ms) and,expose_~_uncircumcision come_around to,you cup_of right_hand_of YHWH and,disgrace on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in glory_of,your )

Others treating the Chaldeans the way that the Chaldeans had treated others is spoken of as if the Chaldeans were to drink the wine that they had forced others to drink. Alternate translation: “Drink from the cup” or “Drink the wine” (See also: figs-explicit)

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) you will expose your uncircumcised foreskin

This phrase is similar to the Chaldeans forcing others to strip naked so that they could look at their nakedness. Here the words “uncircumcised foreskin” indicate that they will be humiliated not just by being naked, but because their uncircumcision proves that they do not belong to Yahweh’s people.

Yahweh punishing the Chaldeans is spoken of as if he were forcing them to drink wine from a cup that he holds in his hand. Yahweh’s right hand represents his power.
