“For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.”
The reference to a cup of judgment in God's hand articulates the imagery of divine judgment as a beverage that must be consumed. The metaphor of dregs and bitter wine indicates that judgment is unpleasant and inescapable. This verse indicates that those judged by God must experience the full measure of divine justice.
