v. 22: God promises to take away the cup of suffering. Thus saith thy Lord the Lord, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of trembling . God reminds his people that he is their Lord and protector. He will remove their pain and no longer let them drink from the cup of his anger.

v. 23: The cup of suffering will be given to their enemies instead. I will put it into the hand of them that afflict you; which have said to your soul, Bow down, that we may go over (Isaiah 51:23 ^a). Those who bullied and oppressed God’s people will suffer instead. God will judge those who were cruel, while his people will be restored and comforted.
