Isaiah 51:22-23
The Message
21-23 Therefore listen, please,
you with your splitting headaches,
You who are nursing the hangovers
that didn’t come from drinking wine.
Your Master, your God, has something to say,
your God has taken up his people’s case:
“Look, I’ve taken back the drink that sent you reeling.
No more drinking from that jug of my anger!
I’ve passed it over to your abusers to drink, those who ordered you,
‘Down on the ground so we can walk all over you!’
And you had to do it. Flat on the ground,
you were the dirt under their feet.”
Isaiah 51:22-23
New International Version
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;
from that cup, the goblet of my wrath,
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)
