⁶ Who has the power to judge people?
Nobody from the east, or from the west,
    or from the desert can be judge.
⁷ God is the one who judges people.
He decides who to bring down
    and who to lift up.^[a]
8 The Lord holds a cup of punishment in his hand.^[b]
    It is full of wine, with spices in it.
The Lord pours out his anger from this cup.
All the wicked people in the world will have to drink it.
    They will drink all of it, so that none remains.
