"Therefore, they have drunk out of the cup of the wrath of God"

Shared words: out of the cup of the wrath of God

The phrase 'the cup of the wrath of God' occurs at exactly these two verses in the corpus - the angel's image of judgment executed (3:26, with 'mercy could have claim on them no more forever') answered verbatim in the people's covenant response, which also cites its source ('as has been spoken by the angel,' 5:5). The discourse's tightest call-and-response: the people repeat the angel's exact phrase back as the thing their covenant is framed to escape. Completes the drink-figure cluster with mos-benjamin-drink-damnation (2:33/3:25).
