Get up, O Jerusalem!

the goblet full of intoxicating wine. 2

But who feels sorry for you?
Destruction and devastation,

But who consoles you? 3
Isaiah 51:22
Context51:22 This is what your sovereign master, 4 the Lord your God, says:
“Look, I have removed from your hand
the cup of intoxicating wine, 5
the goblet full of my anger. 6
You will no longer have to drink it.
