John Trapp on Isaiah 51:17

Ver. 17. Awake, awake] Suſcita te, ſuſcita te: As the Church had ſtirred up the Arm of the Lord to awake, ver. 9. ſo here he doth the Church: chearing her up, and as it were drinking to her in a cup of Nepenthe, after her bitter cup of gall and Aloes, which ſhee had drunk to drunkenneſs, and had none to guide her, v. 18. as a drunken man had need to have.

That haſt drunk at the hand of the Lord] Herein happy yet, that God had a hand in the mingling of thy cup: who, being a wiſe and gracious Phyſician and Father, would be ſure not to overdo; for he knoweth our frame, he remembreth that we are duſt, Pſal. 103.

The cup of his fury] Or his cup of poiſon, as Deut. 32.24, 33. ſo thou miſtakeſt it, and therefore ſputtereſt as if poiſoned indeed, Lam. 3.19.

Thou haſt drunk the dregges] Craſſamentum, that thick ſtuffe that ſettleth in the bottom, and uſually is reſerved for the worſt of wicked ones, Pſal. 75.8. whiles the Saints ſip only of the top of the cup.Illud tantum bibunt qu[illegible: 1 letter]d eſt ſuavim et limpidius; eſt propemodum proverbialis locutis bibere calicem, pro eo quod eſt perferre adverſa. Hyper. See Ezek. 23.34.

Of the cup of trembling] Poculum horrificentiſſimum bibiſti, exſuxiſti, the cup of concuffion or horrour, as a juſt puniſhment of thy cup of ſlumbering and ſecurity, wherein thou hadſt afore carouſed, chap. 29.9, 10.
