Isaiah 51:17-23

17AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, standH6965 up, O JerusalemH3389, that hast drunkH8354 at the handH3027 of Jehovah the cupH3563 of his wrathH2534; thou hast drunken the bowl of the cupH3563 of staggering, and drainedH4680 it. 18There is none to guide her among all the sonsH1121 whom she hath broughtH3205 forthH3205; neither is there any that taketh her by the handH3027 among all the sonsH1121 that she hath broughtH3205 up. 19These twoH8147 things are befallen thee, who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destructionH7667, and the famineH7458 and the swordH2719; how shall I comfortH5162 thee? 20Thy sonsH1121 have faintedH5968, they lieH7901 at the headH7218 of all the streetsH2351, as an antelopeH8377 in a net; they are fullH4392 of the wrathH2534 of Jehovah, the rebukeH1606 of thy GodH430.

21ThereforeH3651 hearH8085 now this, thou afflictedH6041, and drunken, but not with wineH3196: 22ThusH3541 saith thy Lord Jehovah, and thy GodH430 that pleadeth the cause of his peopleH5971, Behold, I have takenH3947 out of thy handH3027 the cupH3563 of staggering, even the bowl of the cupH3563 of my wrathH2534; thou shalt no more drinkH8354 it againH5750: 23and I will putH7760 it into the handH3027 of them that afflict thee, that have saidH559 to thy soulH5315, BowH7812 downH7812, that we may go over; and thou hast laid thy back as the groundH776, and as the streetH2351, to them that go over.
