* Awake , awake ! Stand up , O Jerusalem , You who have drunk at the hand of the LORD The cup of His fury ; You have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling , And drained it out . * There is no one to guide her Among all the sons she has brought forth ; Nor is there any who takes her by the hand Among all the sons she has brought up . * These two things have come to you ; Who will be sorry for you ?-- Desolation and destruction , famine and sword -- By whom will I comfort you ? * Your sons have fainted , They lie at the head of all the streets , Like an antelope in a net ; They are full of the fury of the LORD , The rebuke of your God . * Therefore please hear this , you afflicted , And drunk but not with wine . * Thus says your Lord , The LORD and your God , Who pleads the cause of His people : "See , I have taken out of your hand The cup of trembling , The dregs of the cup of My fury ; You shall no longer drink it . * But I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you , Who have said to you , "Lie down , that we may walk over you .' And you have laid your body like the ground , And as the street , for those who walk over ."
