A Call to Abandon Despair
Isaiah 51:17
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which have drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury…


It is a call to awake, not so much out of the sleep of sin (though that also is necessary, in order to their being ready for deliverance), as out of the stupor of despair.

( M. Henry.)
