Isaiah 51:17-23
171Pull yourself up! Pull yourself up! Arise, Jerusalem! You who have 2drunk from the Lord’s hand the cup of His anger; The 3chalice of staggering you have drunk to the dregs.18There is 4no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth, Nor is there anyone to take her by the hand among all the sons she has raised.19These two things have happened to you; Who will mourn for you? The 5devastation and destruction, famine and sword; How shall I comfort you?20Your sons have fainted, They 6lie helpless at the head of every street, Like an 7antelope in a net, Full of the wrath of the Lord, The 8rebuke of your God.
21Therefore, listen to this, you 9afflicted, Who are 10drunk, but not with wine:22This is what your Lord, the Lord, your God Who 11contends for His people says: “Behold, I have taken from your hand the 12cup of staggering, The 13chalice of My anger; You will never drink it again.23I will 14put it into the hand of your tormentors, Who have said to 15you, ‘16Lie down so that we may walk over you.’ You have also made your back like the ground, And like the street for those who walk over it.”
