4 Aking sinabi sa hambog, Huwag kang gumawang may kahambugan: at sa masama, Huwag kang magtaas ng sungay:

5 Huwag mong itaas ang iyong sungay ng mataas; huwag kang magsalitang may matigas na ulo.

[It is as though] Yahweh holds a cup in his hand; it is filled with wine that [has spices] mixed in it [to cause those who drink it to become more drunk]; and when Yahweh pours it out, he will force all the wicked people to drink it; they will drink every drop of it, [which means that he will give them all the punishment that they deserve].
