Isaiah 51:22-23
New Catholic Bible
22 Thus says your sovereign Lord,
your God who defends his people:
I have taken from your hand
the cup of inebriation;
you will never again drink
from the bowl of my wrath.
23 I will hand it over to your tormentors,
those who said to you,
“Lie on the ground
so that we may walk over you.”
And you flattened your back
like ground beneath their feet,
like a road for them to walk on.[a]

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)
