8For a cup [of His wrath] is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams; It is well mixed and fully spiced, and He pours out from it; And all the wicked of the earth must drain it and drink down to its dregs. 9But as for me, I will declare it and rejoice forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
