Isaiah 51:9-23

9AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, put onH3847 strengthH5797, O armH2220 of the LORDH3068. Wake upH5782 as in daysH3117 pastH6924, as in generationsH1755 of oldH5769. Was it notH3808 H1931 YouH859 who cut RahabH7294 to piecesH2672, who pierced throughH2490 the dragonH8577?10Was it notH3808 H1931 YouH859 who dried upH2717 the seaH3220, the watersH4325 of the greatH7227 deepH8415, who madeH7760 a roadH1870 in the depthsH4615 of the seaH3220 for the redeemedH1350 to cross overH5674?11So the redeemedH6299 of the LORDH3068 will returnH7725 and enterH935 ZionH6726 with singingH7440, crownedH5921 H7218 with everlastingH5769 joyH8057. GladnessH8342 and joyH8057 will overtake themH5381, and sorrowH3015 and sighingH585 will fleeH5127.

12“IH595, even IH595, am HeH1931 who comforts youH5162.WhyH4310 should youH859 be afraidH3372 of mortalH4191 manH582,of a sonH1121 of manH120 who withersH5414 like grassH2682?13But you have forgottenH7911 the LORDH3068, your MakerH6213,who stretched outH5186 the heavensH8064and laid the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776.You live in terrorH6342 all day longH8548 H3605 H3117because ofH6440 the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693whoH834 is bentH3559 on destructionH7843.But whereH346 is the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693?14The captiveH6808 will soonH4116 be freedH6605;he will notH3808 dieH4191 in the dungeonH7845,and his breadH3899 will notH3808 be lackingH2637.15For IH595 am the LORDH3068 your GodH430who stirs upH7280 the seaH3220 so that its wavesH1530 roarH1993—the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 is His nameH8034.16I have putH7760 My wordsH1697 in your mouthH6310,and covered youH3680 with the shadowH6738 of My handH3027,to establishH5193 1 the heavensH8064, to foundH3245 the earthH776,and to sayH559 to ZionH6726, ‘YouH859 are My peopleH5971.’”

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?220Your 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 handH3027 the cupH3563 of staggeringH8653 .From that gobletH6907, the cupH3563 of My furyH2534,you will neverH3808 drinkH8354 againH3254 H5750.23I 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.”
