Isaiah 51:17-18

17 aWake yourself, wake yourself,
stand up, O Jerusalem,
byou who have drunk from the hand of the Lord
the cup of his wrath,
who have drunk to the dregs
the bowl, cthe cup of staggering.
18 dThere is none to guide her
among all the sons she has borne;
there is none to take her by the hand
among all the sons she has brought up.

Jeremiah 2:27

27who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their back to me,
and not their face.
But ein the time of their trouble they say,
Arise and save us!’

Jeremiah 30:12-14

12 For thus says the Lord:
fYour hurt is incurable,
gand your wound is grievous.
13There is none to uphold your cause,
no medicine for your wound,
hno healing for you.
14 iAll your lovers have forgotten you;
they care nothing for you;
for I have dealt you the blow of jan enemy,
the punishment kof a merciless foe,
because your guilt is great,
lbecause your sins are flagrant.

Lamentations 1:16-19

16 For these things mI weep;
my eyes flow with tears;
for na comforter is far from me,
one to orevive my spirit;
my children are desolate,
for the enemy has prevailed.”
17 pZion stretches out her hands,
but qthere is none to comfort her;
the Lord has commanded against Jacob
that his neighbors should be his foes;
Jerusalem has become
a filthy thing among them.
18 r“The Lord is in the right,
sfor I have rebelled against his word;
but hear, all you peoples,
and see my suffering;
tmy young women and my young men
have gone into captivity.
19 “I called to umy lovers,
but they deceived me;
my priests and elders
perished in the city,
while vthey sought food
to revive their strength.

Amos 7:2-5

2When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said,

“O Lord God, please forgive!
wHow can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”
3 xThe Lord relented concerning this:
“It shall not be,” said the Lord.
4 yThis is what the Lord God showed me: behold, the Lord God was calling zfor a judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land. 5Then I said,

“O Lord God, please cease!
aaHow can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”

Amos 9:11

The Restoration of Israel

11 “In that day abI will raise up
the booth of David that is fallen
and repair its breaches,
and raise up its ruins
and rebuild it as in the days of old,
