Your Lord YHWH, your God who pleads the cause of his people, says, “Look, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. You will not drink it any more.
For in YHWH’s hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. Hᴇ pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.
