shall
die in
like manner:
but my salvation shall
be
forever, and my righteousness shall

Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh;

is
none
to

her
among all the sons whom
she has

takes
her by
the
hand
among all the sons who
she has
brought up.

one
to
guide

her
hand

you ?

you?

comfort you?

the
streets
, as
an antelope in a net ;
they are full of the wrath of Yahweh
, the rebuke of your God.

Therefore hear
now this, you afflicted, and
drunken, but now
with wine :

this, you afflicted one

, 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 :
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 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
.
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
. ”
