Isaiah 51:17-22

Isaiah 51:17-22

[17] Awake,  stand up,  O Jerusalem,  which hast drunk  at the hand  of the LORD  the cup  of his fury;  thou hast drunken  the dregs  of the cup  of trembling,  and wrung them out.  [18] There is none to guide  her among all the sons  whom she hath brought forth;  neither is there any that taketh  her by the hand  of all the sons  that she hath brought up.  [19] These two  things are come  unto thee; who shall be sorry  for thee? desolation,  and destruction,  and the famine,  and the sword:  by whom shall I comfort  thee? [20] Thy sons  have fainted,  they lie  at the head  of all the streets,  as a wild bull  in a net:  of the fury  of the LORD,  the rebuke  of thy God.  [21] Therefore hear  now this, thou afflicted,  and drunken,  but not with wine:  [22] Thus saith  the LORD,  and thy God  that pleadeth  the cause of his people,  Behold, I have taken out  of thine hand  the cup  of trembling,  even the dregs  of the cup  of my fury;  thou shalt no more  drink it again:
