Isaiah51:17
17 Awake , awake, stand up , O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury ; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling , and wrung them out .
Either 1. Out of the sleep of security. Or 2. Out of the sleep of death. Heb. Ro[illegible: 1+ letters]ze up thy self: come out of that forlorn and disconsolate condition in which thou hast so long been. This sense suits best with the following words.
Upon thy feet, O thou who hast falln, and been thrown down to the ground.
Which hast been sorely afflicted; for so this Metaphor is used, Psal. 75. 8. Ier. 25. 15, &c. & 49. 12.
Which striketh him that drinketh it with a deadly horrour.
Drunk every drop of it. See on Psal. 75. 8.
