9 Awake, awake, Jerusalem, and put on the strength of thine arm; awake as in the beginning of a day, as a generation of eternity. Art not thou

10 She that maketh desolate the sea, the water, the abundance of the deep? that made the depths of the sea a passage way for the delivered,

11 and them that were redeemed? For by the Lord's doing shall they return, and come to Zion with joy, and everlasting exultation; for upon their head is exultation and praise, and joy shall take hold of them; grief is fallen away, and pain, and sighings.

12 I am, I am he that comforteth thee; learn of- whom thou wast ware, and didst fear before a mortal man, and before a son of man; who were dried up like grass.

13 And thou forgottest God that made thee, that made the heaven, and laid the foundations of the earth; and didst fear continually all the days the face of the wrath of him that was afflicting thee, for (it was) as (though) he were minded to remove thee; and now, where is the wrath of him that did afflict thee?

14 For in thy being saved he shall not stand (still), nor linger.

15 For I am thy God, which disturbeth the sea, and maketh her waves to sound; the Lord of Hosts is my name.

16 I will put my words in thy mouth, and under my right hand will I shelter thee; wherewith I set up the heaven, and laid the foundation of the earth; and he shall say to Zion, Thou art my people.

17 Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, that hast drunk the cup of wrath from the hand of the Lord; for thou didst drink, and didst empty out the cup of falling, the goblet of (his)

18 And there was none that comforted thee from among all thy children that thou broughtest forth; and there was none. that took hold of thy hand from among all thy sons whom thou didst raise up.

19 These two things are against thee; who shall grieve with thee? ruin and destruction, famine and sword: who shall comfort thee?
