²² Thus says your Lord,
The Lord and your God,
Who ^(A)pleads the cause of His people:
“See, I have taken out of your hand
The cup of trembling,
The dregs of the cup of My fury;
You shall no longer drink it.

^34 (A)Their Redeemer is strong;
^(B)The Lord of hosts is His name.
He will thoroughly plead their ^(C)case,
That He may give rest to the land,
And disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

^17 (A)Awake, awake!
Stand up, O Jerusalem,
You who ^(B)have drunk at the hand of the Lord
The cup of His fury;
You have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling,
And drained it out.

^23 (A)For the Lord will plead their cause,
And plunder the soul of those who plunder them.

^9 (A)I will bear the indignation of the Lord,
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my ^(B)case
And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.

^2 (A)I will also gather all nations,
And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
And I ^(B)will enter into judgment with them there
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
They have also divided up My land.
