Isaiah 51:17-23 (Revised Standard Version)
17
Rouse yourself, rouse yourself, stand up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his wrath, who have drunk to the dregs the bowl of staggering.
18
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
These two things have befallen you--who will condole with you? --devastation and destruction, famine and sword; who will comfort you?
20
Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of every street like an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
21
Therefore hear this, you who are afflicted, who are drunk, but not with wine:
22
Thus says your Lord, the LORD, your God who pleads the cause of his people: "Behold, I have taken from your hand the cup of staggering; the bowl of my wrath you shall drink no more;
23
and I will put it into the hand of your tormentors, who have said to you, 'Bow down, that we may pass over'; and you have made your back like the ground and like the street for them to pass over."
