22 Thus says your Lord, Yahweh, even your God
Who (A)contends for His people,
“Behold, I have taken out of your hand the (B)cup of reeling,
The [a]chalice of My wrath;
You will never drink it again.
23 I will (C)set it into the hand of those who cause you grief,
Who have said to [b]you, ‘(D)Lie down that we may walk over you.’
You have even set your back down like the ground
And like the street for those who walk over it.”
