17 Wake up! Wake up! Get up, O Jerusalem! You drank from the cup the LORD passed to you, which was full of his anger! You drained dry the goblet full of intoxicating wine. 18 There was no one to lead her among all the children she bore; there was no one to take her by the hand among all the children she raised. 19 These double disasters confronted you. But who feels sorry for you? Destruction and devastation, famine and sword. But who consoles you? 20 Your children faint; they lie at the head of every street like an antelope in a snare. They are left in a stupor by the LORD's anger, by the battle cry of your God. 21 So listen to this, oppressed one, who is drunk, but not from wine! 22 This is what your sovereign master, the LORD your God, says: |Look, I have removed from your hand the cup of intoxicating wine, the goblet full of my anger. You will no longer have to drink it. Isaiah 51:17-22, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
