The Wrath of God Ceases

17 Awake, awake,
    stand up, O Jerusalem,
you who have drunk at the hand of the Lord
    the cup of His fury;
the cup of reeling
    you have drained to the dregs.
18 There is no one to guide her
    among all the sons she has brought forth;
nor is there anyone to take hold of her hand
    of all the sons that she has brought up.
19 These two things have befallen you;
    who shall be mournful for you?
Desolation, and destruction, and famine, and sword—
    how shall I comfort you?

    there was none to guide her;(G)
among all the children she reared
    there was none to take her by the hand.(H)
19 These double calamities(I) have come upon you—
    who can comfort you?(J)
ruin and destruction,(K) famine(L) and sword(M)
    who can[a] console you?
