Isaiah 51:9-23

9AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, put onH3847 thy strengthH5797, O armH2220 of the LORDH3068; awakeH5782, as in the ancientH6924 daysH3117, in the generationsH1755 of oldH5769. Art thou not that which hath cutH2672 RahabH7294, and woundedH2490 the dragonH8577? 10Art thou not that which hath driedH2717 the seaH3220, the watersH4325 of the greatH7227 deepH8415; that hath madeH7760 the depthsH4615 of the seaH3220 a wayH1870 for the ransomedH1350 to pass overH5674? 11Therefore the redeemedH6299 of the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725, and comeH935 with singingH7440 to ZionH6726; and everlastingH5769 joyH8057 shall be upon their headH7218: they shall obtainH5381 gladnessH8342 and joyH8057; sorrowH3015 and mourningH585 shall flee awayH5127. 12I, even I, am he that comfortethH5162 you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraidH3372 of a manH582 that shall dieH4191, and of the sonH1121 of manH120 who shall be madeH5414 as grassH2682; 13And forgettestH7911 the LORDH3068 thy makerH6213, that hath stretched forthH5186 the heavensH8064, and laid the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776; and hast fearedH6342 continuallyH8548 every dayH3117 becauseH6440 of the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693, as ifH834 he were readyH3559 to destroyH7843? and where is the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693?1 14The captive exileH6808 hastenethH4116 that he may be loosedH6605, and that he should not dieH4191 in the pitH7845, nor that his breadH3899 should failH2637. 15But I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, that dividedH7280 the seaH3220, whose wavesH1530 roaredH1993: The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034. 16And I have putH7760 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310, and have coveredH3680 thee in the shadowH6738 of my handH3027, that I may plantH5193 the heavensH8064, and lay the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776, and sayH559 to ZionH6726, Thou art my peopleH5971.

17AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, stand upH6965, O JerusalemH3389, which hast drunkH8354 at the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 the cupH3563 of his furyH2534; thou hast drankH8354 the dregsH6907 of the cupH3563 of tremblingH8653, and wrung them outH4680. 18There is none to guideH5095 her among all the sonsH1121 whom she hath brought forthH3205; neither is there any that takethH2388 her by the handH3027 of all the sonsH1121 that she hath brought upH1431. 19These twoH8147 things have comeH7122 to thee; who shall be sorryH5110 for thee? desolationH7701, and destructionH7667, and famineH7458, and the swordH2719: by whom shall I comfortH5162 thee?23 20Thy sonsH1121 have faintedH5968, they lieH7901 at the headH7218 of all the streetsH2351, as a wild bullH8377 in a netH4364: they are fullH4392 of the furyH2534 of the LORDH3068, the rebukeH1606 of thy GodH430. 21Therefore hearH8085 now this, thou afflictedH6041, and drunkH7937, but not with wineH3196: 22Thus saithH559 thy LordH113 JehovahH3068, and thy GodH430 that pleadethH7378 the cause of his peopleH5971, Behold, I have taken outH3947 of thy handH3027 the cupH3563 of tremblingH8653, even the dregsH6907 of the cupH3563 of my furyH2534; thou shalt no moreH3254 drink it againH8354: 23But I will putH7760 it into the handH3027 of them that afflictH3013 thee; who have saidH559 to thy soulH5315, Bow downH7812, that we may go overH5674: and thou hast laidH7760 thy bodyH1460 as the groundH776, and as the streetH2351, to them that went overH5674.
