You have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling,
And drained it out.

18 There is no one to guide her
Among all the sons she has brought forth;
Nor is there any who takes her by the hand
Among all the sons she has brought up.

Nor is there any who takes her by the hand
Among all the sons she has brought up.
