Isaiah 51:17–23

¹⁷Wake yourself, wake yourself up!

Stand up, Jerusalem,

you who have drunk the cup of His fury ^h

from the hand of the Lord;

you who have drunk the goblet to the dregs—

the cup that causes people to stagger.

¹⁸There is no one to guide her

among all the children she has raised;

there is no one to take hold of her hand

among all the offspring she has brought up.

¹⁹These two things have happened to you: ⁱ

devastation and destruction,

famine and sword.

Who will grieve for you?

How can I ^jcomfort you?

²⁰Your children have fainted;

they lie at the head of every street

like an antelope in a net.

They are full of the Lord’s fury,

the rebuke of your God.

²¹So listen to this, afflicted

and drunken one—but not with wine. ^k

²²This is what your Lord says—

Yahweh, even your God,

who defends His people ^l—

“Look, I have removed

the cup of staggering from your hand;

that goblet, the cup of My fury.

You will never drink it again.

²³I will put it into the hands of your tormentors,

who said to you: ^m

Lie down, so we can walk over you.

You made your back like the ground,

and like a street for those who walk on it.
