In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us , with inexpressible groanings.
This is what your Lord says – the Lord, even your God, who defends his people – ‘Look, I have removed from your hand the cup that causes staggering; that goblet, the cup of my fury. You will never drink it again.
For this is what the Lord says: ‘If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, can you possibly remain unpunished? You will not remain unpunished, for you must drink it too.
Wake yourself, wake yourself up! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk the cup of his fury from the Lord’s hand; you who have drunk the goblet to the dregs – the cup that causes people to stagger.
