But God is the judge: he maketh low, and he maketh high.

  1. Psalm 75:8 God’s wrath is compared to a cup of strong and delicate wine, wherewith the wicked are made so drunk, that by drinking till they come to the very dregs they are utterly destroyed.

he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
    drink it down to its very dregs.(D)
