22 The Lord God who is your Lord stands beside his people. He says,

‘Look! Now I have taken the cup of my punishment out of your hand.
You will no longer have to drink the strong wine of my anger
    that makes you drunk.
23 Instead, I will give it to your cruel enemies
    to punish them.
They said to you, “Lie down on the ground,
    so that we can walk over you.”
You made your backs become like the ground.
    You became like a street for your enemies to walk on.’

    your God, who defends(A) his people:

    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)
