Yesaya 49:26
Konteks49:26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh;
they will get drunk on their own blood, as if it were wine. 1
Then all humankind 2 will recognize that
I am the Lord, your deliverer,
your protector, 3 the powerful ruler of Jacob.” 4
Yesaya 51:22

“Look, I have removed from your hand
the cup of intoxicating wine, 6
the goblet full of my anger. 7
You will no longer have to drink it.
