The Cup of God’s Wrath

¹⁵This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup^(A) filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send^(B) you drink it. ¹⁶When they drink^(C) it, they will stagger^(D) and go mad^(E) because of the sword^(F) I will send among them.”

The Cup of the Lord’s Wrath

¹⁷Awake, awake!^(A)
    Rise up, Jerusalem,
you who have drunk from the hand of the Lord
    the cup^(B) of his wrath,^(C)
you who have drained to its dregs^(D)
    the goblet that makes people stagger.^(E)
¹⁸Among all the children^(F) she bore
    there was none to guide her;^(G)
among all the children she reared
    there was none to take her by the hand.^(H)
¹⁹These double calamities^(I) have come upon you—
    who can comfort you?^(J)—
ruin and destruction,^(K) famine^(L) and sword^(M)—
    who can^[a] console you?
²⁰Your children have fainted;
    they lie at every street corner,^(N)
    like antelope caught in a net.^(O)
They are filled with the wrath^(P) of the Lord,
    with the rebuke^(Q) of your God.

²¹Therefore hear this, you afflicted^(R) one,
    made drunk,^(S) but not with wine.
²²This is what your Sovereign Lord says,
    your God, who defends^(T) his people:
“See, I have taken out of your hand
    the cup^(U) that made you stagger;
from that cup, the goblet of my wrath,
    you will never drink again.
