16 I have put my words into your mouth
    and sheltered you in the shadow of my hand,
I who stretched out the heavens
    and laid the foundations of the earth,
and who say to Zion,
    You are my people.

The Cup of Salvation

17 Awake, awake!
    Rise up, O Jerusalem!
You have drunk from the Lord’s hand
    the cup of his wrath;
and have drained to the dregs
    the goblet that causes men to become inebriated.
18 Of all the sons you have brought forth,
    there is no one to guide you;
of all the sons you have reared,
    there is no one to take you by the hand.
