Literal Fulfillment

While the verse uses direct language ("Ye shall certainly drink"), the "cup" is a well-established biblical metaphor for divine wrath or judgment, suggesting a symbolic rather than strictly literal interpretation of the drinking itself.

Prophetic Methods of Communication

This verse describes a command given to a prophet about what to say to others, not the method by which the prophet himself received the divine message. The phrase "Thus saith the Lord of hosts" indicates the source of the message, but not the means of its transmission to the prophet.
