Wake yourself, Jerusalem

17 Wake yourself, wake yourself!
    Rise up, Jerusalem,
    who drank the cup of wrath from the Lord’s hand.

18     There’s no one to guide her among all the children she bore;
    there’s no one to take her by the hand among all the children she raised.

        destruction and devastation,
        famine and sword—
    who will comfort you?[b]
