1.2 KiB
See, I have taken the cup of staggering from your hand—the bowl, which is the cup of my anger—so that
This speaks of Yahweh no longer being angry with his people as if his anger were the contents of a cup that he was taking away from them. Alternate translation: "I will no longer be angry with you. See, it is like I have taken away from you the cup that made you stagger, that is, the cup that was full of my anger, so that" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
