aThat he should not die in the pit,
And that his bread should not fail.
Who adivided the sea whose waves roared—
The Lord of hosts is His name.
bI have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
cThat I may1 plant the heavens,
Lay the foundations of the earth,
And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”
God’s Fury Removed
Stand up, O Jerusalem,
You who bhave drunk at the hand of the Lord
The cup of His fury;
You have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling,
And drained it out.
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.
