SEDIMENT
This is the name given to the sediment of wine. Quality wines are allowed to rest in the dregs, thus acquiring an exquisite color and smell. For this reason they are used as an example of God’s generosity (Is. 25:6).
Also as a symbol of a nation that, because of a long period of prosperity and tranquility, has become rich and rests in a very confident security (Jer. 48:11; Zeph. 1:12).
To drink the dregs of God’s wrath (Ps. 75:8; Is. 51:17) is to drink it to the end, that is, to suffer God’s wrath to the end and one’s own destruction.
