21 Therefore hear now this afflicted one
    and drunken one but[a] not from wine.
22 Thus says your Lord, Yahweh,
    and your God pleads the cause of his people:
“Look! I have taken from your hand the cup of staggering.
    You shall not continue[b] to drink the goblet, the cup of my wrath, any longer.
23 And I will put it in the hand of your tormenters,
    who have said to you,[c] ‘Bow down that[d] we may pass[e] over you!’
And you have made[f] your back like the ground,
    and like the street for those who pass[g] over you.”
