Isaiah 51:22-23

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.”

[51:22]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[51:22]  ² tn Heb “the cup of [= that causes] staggering” (so ASV, NAB, NRSV); NASB “the cup of reeling.”

[51:22]  ³ tn Heb “the goblet of the cup of my anger.”

[51:23]  ⁴ tn That is, to make them drink it.
