2. God's character as Judge 75:4-8 
hide text

75:4-6 These verses call the wicked to repent. They should stop boasting and acting proudly as an animal does that defiantly wields its horn against a foe. The wicked refuse to bow before God as an ox tossing its neck refuses the yoke. No help from any direction will deliver the ungodly when God judges him.

75:7-8 As Judge, God forces His enemies to drink from the cup that determines consequences. He forces them to drink all the wine of judgment that He has prepared for them. They cannot escape doing so or the consequences of doing so at His appointed time. In some ancient Near Eastern nations kings made convicted criminals drink poisoned wine.
