47:12 Persist 1 in trusting 2 your amulets
and your many incantations,
which you have faithfully recited 3 since your youth!
Maybe you will be successful 4 –
maybe you will scare away disaster. 5
51:17 Wake up! Wake up!
Get up, O Jerusalem!
You drank from the cup the Lord passed to you,
which was full of his anger! 6
You drained dry
the goblet full of intoxicating wine. 7
