Isaiah 51:17 - 51:23

Awaken yourself! Awaken yourself! Arise, O Jerusalem,

You who have drunk from the hand of Yahweh the cup of His wrath;

The chalice of reeling you have drained to the dregs.

There is none to guide her among all the sons she has borne,

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

These two things have befallen you;

Who will console you?

The devastation and destruction, famine and sword;

How shall I comfort you?

Your sons have fainted;

They lie helpless at the head of every street,

Like an antelope in a net,

Full of the wrath of Yahweh,

The rebuke of your God.

Therefore, now, listen to this, you afflicted,

Who are drunk, but not with wine:

Thus says your Lord, Yahweh, even your God

Who contends for His people,

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

The chalice of My wrath;

You will never drink it again.

I will set it into the hand of those who cause you grief,

Who have said to you, ‘Lie down that we may walk over you.’

You have even set your back down like the ground

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