Isaiah 51:17-23
English Standard Version
17 (A)Wake yourself, wake yourself,
stand up, O Jerusalem,
(B)you who have drunk from the hand of the Lord
the cup of his wrath,
who have drunk to the dregs
the bowl, (C)the cup of staggering.
18 (D)There is none to guide her
among all the sons she has borne;
there is none to take her by the hand
among all the sons she has brought up.
19 (E)These two things have happened to you—
who will console you?—
devastation and destruction, famine and sword;
who will comfort you?[a]
20 (F)Your sons have fainted;
they lie at the head of every street
like an (G)antelope (H)in a net;
they are full of the wrath of the Lord,
the rebuke of your God.
21 (I)Therefore hear this, you who are afflicted,
who are drunk, but not with wine:
22 Thus says your Lord, the Lord,
your God (J)who pleads the cause of his people:
“Behold, I have taken from your hand (K)the cup of staggering;
the bowl of my wrath you shall drink no more;
23 (L)and I will put it into the hand of your tormentors,
(M)who have said to you,
‘Bow down, that we may pass over’;
and (N)you have made your back like the ground
and like the street for them to pass over.”
