You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink, and be exposed! The cup of Yahweh`s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.

The Cup of Judgment
Commentators explain that this verse illustrates a powerful principle of divine justice: what you do to others will be done to you. The oppressor who forced a cup of humiliation on others will, in turn, be forced to drink the 'cup of the Lord's right hand'—a cup of inescapable divine wrath. God ensures that justice is served, and the shame a sinner inflicts will come back upon them.
