Verses 21-22: "Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine: Thus saith thy Lord the Lord, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:"
These verses are very interesting, and I think they are even more significant when used with the names and titles of Deity. Referencing Strong's and Phanerosis, this verse should read: "Thus saith thy Adon [sovereign, ruler], Yahweh, and thy Elohim that pleadeth the cause of his people..." This gives it more meaning than the KJV translation.
As for the second part of this verse, what a wonderful prophecy given to Yahweh's chosen people, that he will redeem them from their adversity. Here is a list of similar references, compiled by Bro. Roberts in Christendom Astray.
