Summary: God tells the church he has taken from her the cup of his wrath and will give it to her oppressors.
Greek text · Dindorf 4:466
ἐξεγείρου, ἐξεγείρου ἡ πιοῦσα ἐκ χειρὸς κυρίου τὸ ποτήριον τοῦ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ· ποτήριον γὰρ τῆς πτώσεως, τὸ κόνδυ τοῦ θυμοῦ μου, ἐξέπιες καὶ ἐξεκένωσας. καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ παρακαλῶν σε ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν τέκνων σου ὧν ἔτεκες, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀντιλαμβανόμενος τῆς χειρός σου. ἰδοὺ εἴληφα ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου τὸ ποτήριον τῆς πτώσεως, τὸ κόνδυ τοῦ θυμοῦ μου, καὶ οὐ προσθήσεις ἔτι πιεῖν αὐτό· καὶ δώσω αὐτὸ εἰς τὰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀδικησάντων σε καὶ τῶν ταπεινωσάντων σε.
English · Claude translation
Awake, awake, you who have drunk from the hand of the Lord the cup of his wrath; for you have drunk and drained the cup of falling, the bowl of my wrath. And there was none to comfort you of all the children you bore, and none to take you by the hand. Behold, I have taken from your hand the cup of falling, the bowl of my wrath, and you shall drink it no more; and I will put it into the hands of those who wronged you and humbled you.
