Isaiah 51:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 And I am the Lord thy God that divided the sea, when his waves roared: the Lord of hosts is his Name.
16 And I have put my words in thy [a]mouth, and have defended thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the [b]heavens, and lay the foundation of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
17 Awake, awake, and stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the [c]cup of his wrath: thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
