¹⁷ Your children hasten back,
    and those who laid you waste^(A) depart from you.

¹³ that you forget^(A) the Lord your Maker,^(B)
    who stretches out the heavens^(C)
    and who lays the foundations of the earth,
that you live in constant terror^(D) every day
    because of the wrath of the oppressor,
    who is bent on destruction?
For where is the wrath of the oppressor?^(E)

²² This is what your Sovereign Lord says,
    your God, who defends^(A) his people:
“See, I have taken out of your hand
    the cup^(B) that made you stagger;
from that cup, the goblet of my wrath,
    you will never drink again.
²³ I will put it into the hands of your tormentors,^(C)
    who said to you,
    ‘Fall prostrate^(D) that we may walk^(E) on you.’
And you made your back like the ground,
    like a street to be walked on.”^(F)

¹⁹ “Though you were ruined and made desolate^(A)
    and your land laid waste,^(B)
now you will be too small for your people,^(C)
    and those who devoured^(D) you will be far away.
