  1. Isaiah 63:3 Or their juice; also verse 6

22 Thus says your Lord, the Lord,
    your God (A)who pleads the cause of his people:
“Behold, I have taken from your hand (B)the cup of staggering;
the bowl of my wrath you shall drink no more;
23 (C)and I will put it into the hand of your tormentors,
    (D)who have said to you,
    ‘Bow down, that we may pass over’;
and (E)you have made your back like the ground
    and like the street for them to pass over.”

(A)Sit in silence, and go into darkness,
    O daughter of (B)the Chaldeans;
for you shall no more be called
    (C)the mistress of kingdoms.
(D)I was angry with my people;
    I profaned my heritage;
I gave them into your hand;
    (E)you showed them no mercy;
on the aged you made your yoke exceedingly heavy.
You said, “I shall be (F)mistress forever,”
    so that you did not lay these things to heart
    or remember their end.

Now therefore hear this, (G)you lover of pleasures,
    (H)who sit securely,
who say in your heart,
    (I)“I am, and there is no one besides me;
(J)I shall not sit as a widow
    or know the loss of children”:
(K)These two things shall come to you
    in a moment, (L)in one day;
the loss of children and widowhood
    shall come upon you in full measure,
(M)in spite of your many sorceries
    and the great power of your enchantments.
