Isaiah 51:17-23

171Rouse yourself! Rouse yourself! Arise, O Jerusalem, You who have 2drunk from the Lord’s hand the cup of His anger; The 3chalice of reeling you have 4drained to the dregs.18There is 5none to guide her among all the sons she has borne, Nor is there one to take her by the hand among all the sons she has reared.19These two things have befallen you; Who will mourn for you? The 6devastation and destruction, famine and sword; How shall I comfort you?20Your sons have fainted, They 7lie helpless at the head of every street, Like an 8antelope in a net, Full of the wrath of the Lord, The 9rebuke of your God.

21Therefore, please hear this, you 10afflicted, Who are 11drunk, but not with wine:22Thus says your Lord, the Lord, even your God Who 12contends for His people, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the 13cup of reeling, The 14chalice of My anger; You will never drink it again.23I will 15put it into the hand of your tormentors, Who have said to 16you, ‘17Lie down that we may walk over you.’ You have even made your back like the ground And like the street for those who walk over it.”
