Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
Awake! awake! stand up, O Jerusalem - (Isaiah 52:1 .) which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury. Yahweh's wrath is compared to an intoxicating draught; because it confounds the sufferer under it, and makes him fall (Job 21:20; Psalms 60:3; Psalms 75:8; Jeremiah 25:15-16; Jeremiah 49:12; Zechariah 12:2; Revelation 14:10, "the wine of the wrath of God which is poured out, without mixture into the cup of His indignation:" see note there.
Thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling - which produces trembling or intoxication.
(And) wrung (them) out - drained the last drop out: the dregs were the sediments from various substances, as honey, dates, and drugs, put into the wine to increase the strength and sweetness.
