Isaiah 51:17-23

New American Standard Bible

¹⁷^(A)Pull yourself up! Pull yourself up! Arise, Jerusalem!
You who have ^(B)drunk from the Lord’s hand the cup of His anger;
The ^[a]chalice of staggering you have drunk to the dregs.
¹⁸There is ^(C)no 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 ^(D)devastation and destruction, famine and sword;
How shall I comfort you?
²⁰Your 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.

²¹Therefore, listen to this, you ^(H)afflicted,
Who are ^(I)drunk, but not with wine:
²²This is what your Lord, the Lord, your God
Who ^(J)contends for His people says:
“Behold, I have taken from your hand the ^(K)cup of staggering,
The ^[b]chalice of My anger;
You will never drink it again.
²³I will ^(L)put it into the hand of your tormentors,
Who have said to ^[c]you, ‘^(M)Lie 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.”
