This call to awaken is a divine summons for spiritual alertness and renewal. It echoes earlier prophetic calls for Israel to return to God (<a href="/isaiah/52.htm">Isaiah 52:1</a>). The repetition emphasizes urgency and importance, suggesting a need for immediate action. This phrase is reminiscent of other biblical calls to awaken from spiritual slumber, such as in <a href="/romans/13-11.htm">Romans 13:11</a>, where believers are urged to wake from sleep because salvation is near.Rise up, O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city central to Jewish identity and worship, symbolizes the people of God. The call to rise up indicates a movement from a state of despair or judgment to one of restoration and hope. Historically, Jerusalem had faced numerous sieges and destructions, notably by the Babylonians in 586 BC. This phrase anticipates a reversal of fortunes, aligning with prophecies of restoration found in <a href="/isaiah/40-2.htm">Isaiah 40:2</a> and <a href="/zechariah/8-3.htm">Zechariah 8:3</a>.you who have drunk from the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; The imagery of drinking from a cup is a common biblical metaphor for experiencing God's wrath or judgment (<a href="/jeremiah/25-15.htm">Jeremiah 25:15-17</a>). The "hand of the LORD" signifies direct divine intervention. Historically, this refers to the period of exile and suffering due to the nation's disobedience. Theologically, it underscores God's sovereignty in administering justice. This concept is echoed in <a href="/revelation/14-10.htm">Revelation 14:10</a>, where the cup of God's wrath is mentioned in the context of final judgment.you who have drained the goblet to the dregs— Draining the goblet to the dregs implies experiencing the full measure of God's judgment. The "dregs" are the sediment at the bottom of a cup, symbolizing the most intense and bitter part of the experience. This phrase highlights the completeness of the judgment that Jerusalem has endured. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of sin and rebellion against God, as seen in <a href="/lamentations/4-21.htm">Lamentations 4:21</a>.the cup that makes men stagger. Staggering is a result of overwhelming intoxication, symbolizing the disorientation and helplessness caused by divine judgment. This imagery is used to convey the severity of God's wrath, which leaves the recipients powerless and confused. It connects to the broader biblical theme of God's judgment leading to repentance and eventual restoration, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/29-9.htm">Isaiah 29:9-10</a> and <a href="/psalms/60-3.htm">Psalm 60:3</a>. The ultimate fulfillment of this theme is found in Christ, who, in the Garden of Gethsemane, prayed about the cup of suffering He was to endure (<a href="/matthew/26-39.htm">Matthew 26:39</a>), taking upon Himself the wrath meant for humanity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a> The city represents the people of Israel, often personified in the Bible.

Here they are spoken to Jerusalem as a drunken and desperate castaway, and introduce a painfully vivid picture of her desolation. They seem, indeed, prefixed to that picture to make it bearable. They are a call to Zion to wake out of that drunken sleep, and therefore show that her ruin is not irretrievable.The dregs of the cup.--Literally, the goblet cup, but with the sense, as in the Authorised version, of the cup being drained.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/51.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 17-23. - AN ADDRESS OF THE PROPHET TO JERUSALEM. The comfort afforded to Israel generally is now concentrated on Jerusalem. Her condition during the long period of the Captivity is deplored, and her want of a champion to assert her cause and raise her out of the dust is lamented (vers. 17-20). After this, an assurance is given her that the miseries which she has suffered shall pass from her to her great enemy, by whom the dregs of the "cup of trembling" shall be drained, and the last drop wrung out (vers. 21-23). Verse 17. - Awake, awake (comp. ver. 9 and <a href="/isaiah/52-1.htm">Isaiah 52:1</a>). Isaiah marks the breaks in his prophecy, sometimes by a repetition of terminal clauses, which have the effect of a refrain (<a href="/isaiah/5-25.htm">Isaiah 5:25</a>; <a href="/isaiah/9-12.htm">Isaiah 9:12, 17, 21</a>; <a href="/isaiah/10-4.htm">Isaiah 10:4</a>; and Isaiah 48:22; 57:21); sometimes by a repetition of initial clauses of a striking character (<a href="/isaiah/5-8.htm">Isaiah 5:8, 11, 20</a>; <a href="/isaiah/13-1.htm">Isaiah 13:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/15-1.htm">Isaiah 15:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/17-1.htm">Isaiah 17:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/19-1.htm">Isaiah 19:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/21-1.htm">Isaiah 21:1, 11</a>; <a href="/isaiah/22-1.htm">Isaiah 22:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/23-1.htm">Isaiah 23:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/28-1.htm">Isaiah 28:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/29-1.htm">Isaiah 29:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/30-1.htm">Isaiah 30:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/31-1.htm">Isaiah 31:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/33-1.htm">Isaiah 33:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/48-1.htm">Isaiah 48:1, 12, 16</a>; <a href="/isaiah/50-4.htm">Isaiah 50:4, 7, 9</a>, etc.).

Which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury. The cup of God's fury was poured out on Jerusalem when the city was taken by Nebuchadnezzar, the temple, the royal palace, and the houses of the nobles burnt (<a href="/2_kings/25-9.htm">2 Kings 25:9</a>), the walls broken down (<a href="/2_kings/25-10.htm">2 Kings 25:10</a>), and the bulk of the inhabitants carried away captive to Babylon (<a href="/2_kings/25-11.htm">2 Kings 25:11</a>; comp. <a href="/2_chronicles/34-25.htm">2 Chronicles 34:25</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/42-18.htm">Jeremiah 42:18</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/44-6.htm">Jeremiah 44:6</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/22-31.htm">Ezekiel 22:31</a>, etc.).
