Isaiah 51:17-23

17AwakeH5782, awakeH5782! Rise upH6965, O JerusalemH3389, you whoH834 have drunkH8354 from the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 the cupH3563 of His furyH2534; you who have drainedH8354 the gobletH6907 to the dregsH4680— the cupH3563 that makes men staggerH8653.18Among allH3605 the sonsH1121 she boreH3205, there is noH369 one to guideH5095 her; among allH3605 the sonsH1121 she brought upH1431, there is noH369 one to takeH2388 her handH3027.19TheseH2007 pairsH8147 have befallenH7122 you: devastationH7701 and destructionH7667, famineH7458 and swordH2719. WhoH4310 will grieve for youH5110? WhoH4310 can comfort youH5162?120Your sonsH1121 have faintedH5968; they lieH7901 at the headH7218 of everyH3605 streetH2351, like an antelopeH8377 in a netH4364. They are fullH4392 of the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068, the rebukeH1606 of your GodH430.

21ThereforeH3651 nowH4994 hearH8085 thisH2063, you afflicted oneH6041,drunkenH7937, but notH3808 with wineH3196.22ThusH3541 saysH559 your LordH113, the LORDH3068,even your GodH430, who defendsH7378 His peopleH5971:
“SeeH2009, I have removedH3947 from your handH3027the cupH3563 of staggeringH8653.From that gobletH6907, the cupH3563 of My furyH2534,you will neverH3808 drinkH8354 againH3254H5750.23I will place itH7760 in the handsH3027 of your tormentorsH3013,whoH834 toldH559 youH5315: ‘Lie downH7812, so we can walk over youH5674,’so that you madeH7760 your backH1460 like the groundH776,like a streetH2351 to be traversedH5674.”
