“And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.”
The final enumeration—all the kings of the north far and near one another and all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth—represents the complete coverage previously implicit. The explicit statement that the cup reaches all kingdoms on earth confirms the universality. The comprehensiveness of the final statement closes the enumeration by making explicit what had been progressively demonstrated. The verse ensures that no one can claim exception from judgment.
