32:6 For a fool speaks disgraceful things; 1
his mind plans out sinful deeds. 2
He commits godless deeds 3
and says misleading things about the Lord;
he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite 4
and gives the thirsty nothing to drink. 5
51:22 This is what your sovereign master, 6 the Lord your God, says:
“Look, I have removed from your hand
the cup of intoxicating wine, 7
the goblet full of my anger. 8
You will no longer have to drink it.
60:16 You will drink the milk of nations;
you will nurse at the breasts of kings. 9
Then you will recognize that I, the Lord, am your deliverer,
your protector, 10 the powerful ruler of Jacob. 11
62:8 The Lord swears an oath by his right hand,
by his strong arm: 12
“I will never again give your grain
to your enemies as food,
and foreigners will not drink your wine,
which you worked hard to produce.
62:9 But those who harvest the grain 13 will eat it,
and will praise the Lord.
Those who pick the grapes will drink the wine 14
in the courts of my holy sanctuary.”
65:13 So this is what the sovereign Lord says:
“Look, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry!
Look, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty!
Look, my servants will rejoice, but you will be humiliated!
