Isaiah 51:17-23

17Wake yourself, wake yourself up! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk the cup of his fury from the Lord’s hand; you who have drunk the goblet to the dregs — the cup that causes people to stagger.

18There is no one to guide her among all the children she has raised; there is no one to take hold of her hand among all the offspring she has brought up.

19These two things have happened to you: devastation and destruction, famine and sword. Who will grieve for you? How can I comfort you?

20Your children have fainted; they lie at the head of every street like an antelope in a net. They are full of the Lord’s fury, the rebuke of your God.

21So listen to this, suffering and drunken one — but not with wine.

22This is what your Lord says — the Lord, even your God, who defends his people  — “Look, I have removed from your hand the cup that causes staggering; that goblet, the cup of my fury. You will never drink it again.

23I will put it into the hands of your tormentors, who said to you, ‘Lie down, so we can walk over you.’ You made your back like the ground, and like a street for those who walk on it.
