71 Days of Isaiah Plan

¹⁷Wake yourself, wake yourself up! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk the cup of his fury from the LORD’s hand; you who have drunk the goblet to the dregs — the cup that causes people to stagger.

¹⁸There is no one to guide her among all the children she has raised; there is no one to take hold of her hand among all the offspring she has brought up.

¹⁹These two things have happened to you: devastation and destruction, famine and sword. Who will grieve for you? How can I comfort you?

²⁰Your children have fainted; they lie at the head of every street like an antelope in a net. They are full of the LORD’s fury, the rebuke of your God.

²¹So listen to this, suffering and drunken one — but not with wine.

²²This is what your Lord says — the LORD, even your God, who defends his people  — “Look, I have removed from your hand the cup that causes staggering; that goblet, the cup of my fury. You will never drink it again.

²³I will put it into the hands of your tormentors, who said to you: Lie down, so we can walk over you. You made your back like the ground, and like a street for those who walk on it.
