51:21 So listen to this, oppressed one,
who is drunk, but not from wine!
51:22 This is what your sovereign master, 1 the Lord your God, says:
“Look, I have removed from your hand
the cup of intoxicating wine, 2
the goblet full of my anger. 3
You will no longer have to drink it.
51:23 I will put it into the hand of your tormentors 4
who said to you, ‘Lie down, so we can walk over you.’
You made your back like the ground,
and like the street for those who walked over you.”
