Isaiah 51:17–23

^17aRouse yourself! Rouse yourself! Arise, O Jerusalem,

You who have ^bdrunk from the Lord’s hand the cup of His anger;

The ¹chalice of reeling you have ²drained to the dregs.

¹⁸There is ^anone to guide her among all the sons she has borne,

Nor is there one to take her by the hand among all the sons she has reared.

¹⁹These two things have befallen you;

Who will mourn for you?

The ^adevastation and destruction, famine and sword;

How shall I comfort you?

²⁰Your sons have fainted,

They ^alie helpless at the head of every street,

Like an ^bantelope in a net,

Full of the wrath of the Lord,

The ^crebuke of your God.

²¹Therefore, please hear this, you ^aafflicted,

Who are ^bdrunk, but not with wine:

²²Thus says your Lord, the Lord, even your God

Who ^acontends for His people,

“Behold, I have taken out of your hand the ^bcup of reeling,

The ¹chalice of My anger;

You will never drink it again.

²³“I will ^aput it into the hand of your tormentors,

Who have said to ¹you, ‘^bLie down that we may walk over you.’

You have even made your back like the ground

And like the street for those who walk over it.”
