Awake! Awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, who drank the cup of His fury from the hand of Jehovah; you drank the bowl of the cup of reeling; you fully drained it .

No guide is for her among all the sons she has borne; and of all the sons she made to grow none makes strong her hand.

Those two things came to you; who shall grieve for you? Ruin and shattering and famine and the sword, who but I shall comfort you?

Your sons have fainted; they lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net, filled with the fury of Jehovah, the rebuke of your God.

So hear this now, afflicted one, and drunken, but not from wine:

So says your Lord Jehovah and your God, He strives for His people. Behold, I have taken the cup of reeling out of your hand, the bowl of the cup of My fury; you shall not yet again drink it.

But I will put it into the hand of those oppressing you, who have said to your soul, Bow down that we may cross, and, Put your back to the ground, and as the street to those who cross.
