Isaiah 51:17–23

^17hAwake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem,

ⁱWhich hast drunk at the hand of the Lord ^kthe cup of his fury;

^lThou hast drunken ^kthe dregs of ^mthe cup of trembling, and ^lwrung them out.

¹⁸ⁿThere is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth;

Neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.

^19oThese two things are come unto thee; who shall be ^psorry for thee?

Desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword:

^qBy whom shall I ^pcomfort thee?

^20qqThy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as ^ra wild bull ^sin a net:

They are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God.

²¹Therefore ^thear now this, ^ttthou afflicted,

And ^kudrunken, but not with wine:

²²Thus saith ^vthy Lord the Lord,

And thy God that ^wpleadeth the cause of his people,

Behold, I have taken out of thine hand ^kthe cup of ^mtrembling,

Even ^kthe dregs of the cup of my fury;

Thou shalt no more drink it again:

²³But ^xI will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee;

^yWhich have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over:

And ^zthou hast laid thy body as the ground,

And as the street, to them that went over.
