Hearken
to me, ye
that
follow

the rock whence
ye
were hewn
, and to the hold
of
the
pit
whence
ye
were digged
.

to Me, you

righteousness, you

from
which
you
were hewn
.

Abraham your father, and unto

bare
you ;
for
when he
was
but
one
I called him, and
I blessed him ,
and made
him many
.

Abraham your father, and to
Sarah who
gave
you birth.

hath
comforted
Zion ;

be found therein
, thanksgiving ,
and the
voice
of
melody
.

her
, thanksgiving and melodious

Attend
unto
me, O

ear
unto

from me, and I

establish
my justice for
a light of
the peoples
.

will
bring
it
about
quickly
.

mine
arm shall
they
trust
.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon
the earth beneath
; for the heavens shall
vanish away
like smoke, and
the earth shall
wax
old
like a garment ;
and they
that
dwell
therein
shall
die in
like manner:
but my salvation shall
be
for
ever
, and my righteousness shall
not
be
abolished
.

last
forever
, and My righteousness will
never
fail
.
Hearken
unto
me, ye
that
know righteousness
, the
people in
whose
heart
is
my law ;
fear
ye
not the reproach
of men ,
neither
be ye
dismayed
at
their revilings
.
Listen
to
Me, you
who
know what
is
right
, you
people with
My law in
your
hearts:
Do
not fear
the scorn
of men ;
do
not
be broken
by
their insults
.

eat
them up
like a garment, and the worm shall

for
ever
, and
my salvation unto
all generations.

devour
them like a garment, and the worm will
eat them like wool .

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah;
awake,
as in the
days of
old
, the
generations of ancient
times
. Is
it not thou
that
didst
cut Rahab in
pieces, that
didst
pierce
the monster
?
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the
LORD.
Wake
up
as in days past
, as
in
generations of old
. Was
it not You
who
cut Rahab to
pieces, who
pierced
through
the dragon
?
Is
it not thou
that
driedst
up the sea, the waters of the great deep ;
that
madest
the depths of the sea a
way
for the redeemed to pass
over?
Was
it not You
who
dried
up the sea, the waters of the great deep ,

made
a

of Jehovah
shall

and come

upon
their
heads:

sorrow and sighing shall
flee away
.

comforteth
you:
who art
thou,
that
thou
art
afraid of man that
shall
die
, and
of the
son of man that
shall
be
made
as
grass ;
“
I, even I, am He who comforts
you.
Why
should
you
be
afraid of mortal
man, of a
son of man who
withers
like
grass ?
and
hast
forgotten Jehovah
thy
Maker, that
stretched forth
the heavens ,
and laid the foundations of the earth ;

fearest
continually
all the
day because of the fury of the oppressor ,
when
he
maketh
ready
to
destroy?
and
where is the fury of the oppressor?
But
you
have
forgotten the
LORD,
your
Maker, who
stretched out
the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth .

live
in
terror
all day long
because of the fury of the oppressor who
is
bent
on
destruction.

go
down'
into
the pit
, neither

his bread fail
.

soon
be freed
; he will
not die in
the dungeon

your
God who stirs

mouth, and have
covered thee
in
the shadow of my hand, that
I
may
plant
the heavens, and
lay
the
foundations
of
the earth, and say unto
Zion, Thou
art
my people.
I have put My words in your
mouth, and covered you
with
the shadow of My hand, to
establish
the heavens, to
found
the earth, and to

are
My people. ’”
Awake, awake ,
stand
up, O Jerusalem, that
hast
drunk at
the hand of Jehovah
the cup of his wrath
; thou
hast
drunken
the bowl
of
the cup of
staggering,
and
drained
it
.
Awake, awake !
Rise
up, O Jerusalem, you
who
have
drunk from
the hand of the LORD
the
cup of His fury

who
have
drained
the goblet
to
the dregs—
the
cup that
makes
men
stagger
.
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
among all the sons that
she hath
brought up.
Among all the sons she bore,
there is
no
one
to
guide
her ;
among all the sons she brought up ,
there
is
no
one
to
take
her
hand
.
These two
things
are
befallen thee,
who
shall
bemoan
thee?
desolation
and destruction, and
the
famine and the
sword ;
how
shall
I
comfort thee
?
These pairs
have
befallen you:
devastation
and destruction, famine and sword .
Who
will
grieve
for
you?
Who
can
comfort you
?

sons have fainted ,
they lie at the head of all
the
streets
, as
an antelope in a net ;
they are full of the wrath of Jehovah
, the rebuke of thy
God.
Your
sons have fainted ;
they lie at the head of every
street
, like
an antelope in a net .

Therefore hear
now this, thou
afflicted, and
drunken, but now
with wine :
Therefore now hear
this, you
afflicted one
, drunken, but not
with wine .
Thus saith
thy
Lord Jehovah
, and
thy
God
that
pleadeth
the cause
of
his people ,
Behold
, I have taken
out
of
thy
hand the cup of staggering, even
the bowl
of
the
cup of my wrath;
thou
shalt
no
more
drink it
again :
Thus says
your
Lord, the LORD,
even
your
God,
who
defends
His people :
“See
, I have removed
from
your
hand the cup of staggering .
From
that
goblet
, the cup of My fury,
you
will
never
drink again .
and
I will put
it into
the hand
of them
that
afflict
thee,
that
have
said
to
thy
soul
, Bow
down, that
we may
go
over ;
and
thou
hast
laid
thy
back as
the ground, and
as
the
street ,
to them
that
go
over
.
I will place
it in
the hands
of your
tormentors
, who
told
you:
‘Lie
down, so
we can
walk
over you,’
so
that
you
made
your
back like
the ground, like
a
street to be
traversed
. ”
