Your Lord GOD,
your God who pleads the cause of his people, says,
“Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering,
even the bowl of the cup of my wrath.
You will not drink it any more.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Isaiah 51:22 in context
Isaiah 51:19–23
19
These two things have happened to you—
who will grieve with you?—
desolation and destruction,
and famine and the sword.
How can I comfort you?
20
Your sons have fainted.
They lie at the head of all the streets,
like an antelope in a net.
They are full of the LORD’s wrath,
the rebuke of your God.
21
Therefore now hear this, you afflicted,
and drunken, but not with wine:
22
Selected verse
Your Lord GOD,
your God who pleads the cause of his people, says,
“Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering,
even the bowl of the cup of my wrath.
You will not drink it any more.
23
I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you,
who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’
and you have laid your back as the ground,
like a street to those who walk over.”
