Isaiah 51:17-23
Legacy Standard Bible
17 (A)Awaken yourself! Awaken yourself! Arise, O Jerusalem,
You who have (B)drunk from the hand of Yahweh the cup of His wrath;
The [a]chalice of reeling you have [b]drained to the dregs.
18 There is (C)none to guide her among all the sons she has borne,
Nor is there one to take hold of her by the hand among all the sons she has reared.
19 These two things have befallen you;
Who will console you?
The (D)devastation and destruction, famine and sword;
How shall I comfort you?
20 Your sons have fainted;
They (E)lie helpless at the head of every street,
Like an (F)antelope in a net,
Full of the wrath of Yahweh,
The (G)rebuke of your God.
21 Therefore, now, listen to this, you (H)afflicted,
Who are (I)drunk, but not with wine:
22 Thus says your Lord, Yahweh, even your God
Who (J)contends for His people,
“Behold, I have taken out of your hand the (K)cup of reeling,
The [c]chalice of My wrath;
You will never drink it again.
23 I will (L)set it into the hand of those who cause you grief,
Who have said to [d]you, ‘(M)Lie down that we may walk over you.’
You have even set your back down like the ground
And like the street for those who walk over it.”

Isaiah 51:17-23
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 (A)Rouse yourself! Rouse yourself! Arise, O Jerusalem,
You who have (B)drunk from the Lord’s hand the cup of His anger;
The [a]chalice of reeling you have [b]drained to the dregs.
18 There is (C)none 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.
19 These two things have befallen you;
Who will mourn for you?
The (D)devastation and destruction, famine and sword;
How shall I comfort you?
20 Your sons have fainted,
They (E)lie helpless at the head of every street,
Like an (F)antelope in a net,
Full of the wrath of the Lord,
The (G)rebuke of your God.
21 Therefore, please hear this, you (H)afflicted,
Who are (I)drunk, but not with wine:
22 Thus says your Lord, the Lord, even your God
Who (J)contends for His people,
“Behold, I have taken out of your hand the (K)cup of reeling,
The [c]chalice of My anger;
You will never drink it again.
23 “I will (L)put it into the hand of your tormentors,
Who have said to [d]you, ‘(M)Lie 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.”
