I, even I,
I, even I,
12 “I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you are afraid of man who dies And of the son of man who is made like grass,
13 That you have forgotten Yahweh your Maker, Who stretched out the heavens And laid the foundations of the earth, That you tremble in dread continually all day long because of the wrath of the one who brings distress, As he makes ready to bring ruin? But where is the wrath of the one who brings distress?
14 “The one in chains will soon be set free and will not die in the pit, nor will his bread be lacking.
15 “For I am Yahweh your God, who stirs up the sea, and its waves roar—Yahweh of hosts is His name.
The Lord forms a new creation by His people
The Lord forms a new creation by His people
16 “I have put My words in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
The Lord’s wrath is finished upon Zion
The Lord’s wrath is finished upon Zion
17 Awaken yourself! Awaken yourself! Arise, O Jerusalem, You who have drunk from the hand of Yahweh the cup of His wrath; The chalice of reeling you have drained to the dregs.
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons she has borne, Nor is there one to take hold of her by the hand among all the sons she has reared.
19 These two things have befallen you; Who will console you? The devastation and destruction, famine and sword; How shall I comfort you?
20 Your sons have fainted; They lie helpless at the head of every street, Like an antelope in a net, Full of the wrath of Yahweh, The rebuke of your God.
21 Therefore, now, listen to this, you afflicted, Who are drunk, but not with wine:
22 Thus says your Lord, Yahweh, even your God Who contends for His people, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of reeling, The chalice of My wrath; You will never drink it again.
23 “I will set it into the hand of those who cause you grief, Who have said to you, ‘Lie down that we may walk over you.’ You have even set your back down like the ground And like the street for those who walk over it.”
