Isaiah:51:17-52

Awake !
Awake !
Rise up ,
O Jerusalem ,
who drank the cup of His fury from the hand of Jehovah ;
you drank the bowl of the cup of reeling ;
you fully drained it .
*
No guide is for her among all the sons she has borne ;
and none takes her by the hand of all the sons she made to grow .
*
Those two things came to you ;
who shall wail for you ?
Ruin and shattering and famine and the sword ,
who but I shall comfort you ?
*
Your sons have fainted ;
they lie at the head of all the streets ,
like an antelope in a net ,
filled with the fury of Jehovah ,
the rebuke of your God .
*
So hear this now ,
afflicted one ,
and drunken ,
but not from wine :
*
So says your Lord Jehovah and your God ,
He strives for His people .
Behold ,
I have taken the cup of reeling out of your hand ,
the bowl of the cup of My fury ;
you shall not yet again drink it .
*
But I will put it into the hand of those oppressing you ,
who have said to your soul ,
Bow down that we may cross ,
and Put your back as the ground ,
and as the street to those who cross .
