22 Your God is the one who fights for his people. He is your Lord God, and he says to you, “Look, I am taking this ‘cup of poison’ away from you. It is full of my anger, and I am taking it out of your hand. You will not be punished by my anger again. 23 I will now use my anger to punish the people who hurt you. They tried to kill you. They told you, ‘Bow down before us, and we will walk on you.’ They forced you to bow down before them, and then they walked on your back like dirt. You were like a road for them to walk on.”

22 This is what your Sovereign Lord says,
    your God, who defends(A) his people:
“See, I have taken out of your hand
    the cup(B) that made you stagger;

And you made your back like the ground,
    like a street to be walked on.”(F)
