# The Lord has trampled ... in the winepress
Here the judgment of God is described as if Jerusalem were grapes on which he had trampled in order to squeeze out the juice. AT: "It is as though the Lord has trampled upon the virgin daughter of Judah in a winepress" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
