Isaiah 51:17

Awake; either,

1. Out of the sleep of security. Or,

2. Out of the sleep of death. Heb. Rouse up thyself; come out of that forlorn and disconsolate condition in which thou hast so long been. This sense suits best with the following words. Stand up upon thy feet, O thou who hast fallen, and been thrown down to the ground. Which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury; which hast been sorely afflicted; for so this metaphor is used. Psalms 75:8 Jeremiah 25:15, &c.; Jeremiah 49:12. The cup of trembling; which striketh him that drinketh it with a deadly horror. Wrung them out; drunk every drop of, it. See Poole on "Psalms 75:8".
