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[a] 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,[b] ‘Bow down that[c] we may pass[d] over you!’
And you have made[e] your back like the ground,
    and like the street for those who pass[f] over you.”
