people
will
die like gnats.
But My salvation will
last
forever, and My righteousness will
never
fail
.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on

shall
die in
like manner:
but my salvation shall
be
forever, and my righteousness shall
not
be
abolished
.
Listen to Me, you who know what

of men ;
do
not
be broken
by
their insults.

heart
is
my law ;

you

dismayed
at
their insults.

pieces, who pierced through
the dragon
?

times

road
in
the depths of the sea for the redeemed to cross

I, even I, am He who comforts you .

should
you be
afraid of mortal
man, of a
son of man who withers
like
grass ?
I, even I, am he who comforts you :
who
are
you ,
that
you
are
afraid of man who
shall
die
, and
of the
son of man who shall
be
made
as
grass ;

have forgotten the
LORD,
your Maker, who stretched out
the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth .

live
in
terror
all day long

bent
on
destruction.

where is the fury of the oppressor?
and
have forgotten Yahweh
your Maker, who stretched forth
the heavens ,
and laid the foundations of the earth ;
and
fear
continually
all the
day because of the fury of the oppressor ,
when
he
makes
ready
to
destroy?
and
where is the fury of the oppressor?

not die [and
go
down]
into

Awake, awake !
Rise
up, O
Jerusalem, you
who
have drunk from
the hand of the
LORD
the cup of His fury
; you who
have drained
the
goblet
to
the dregs—
the cup that
makes
men
stagger
.

stand
up, Jerusalem, that
have drunk at
the hand of Yahweh
the cup of his wrath

.
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.
There is none
to guide her among all the sons whom
she has
brought forth;

is there
any

her by
the
hand among
all
the
sons
who
she
has
brought
up
.
These pairs
have befallen
you :
devastation
and destruction, famine and sword .
Who
will
grieve
for
you?
Who
can
comfort you?
These two
things
have happened
to
you .
Who
will
bemoan
you?
Desolation
and destruction, and
the
famine and the
sword ;
how
shall
I
comfort you?

they lie at the head of every
street
, like
an antelope in a net .

LORD
, the rebuke of your God.

the
streets
, as
an antelope in a net ;

Therefore now
hear this, you afflicted one
, drunken, but not
with wine .
Therefore hear now
this, you afflicted, and
drunken, but now
with wine :
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 .
Thus says your Lord Yahweh
, and
your God who pleads
the
cause
of
his people, Behold,
I have taken
out
of
your hand the cup of staggering, even
the bowl
of
the
cup of my wrath;
you shall
no
more
drink it
again :
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
. ”
and
I will put
it into
the hand
of those
who afflict
you ,
who
have
said
to
your
soul,
Bow
down, that
we may
go
over ;
and
you have
laid
your back as
the ground, and
as
the
street ,
to those
who
go
over
.
