Isaiah 51v17-23

Heavenly Father
give us grace to trust in your justice today

[The consequences of turning from the peaceful and righteous way of the Lord apply to all people.  
In this case this has happened to the people of Jerusalem (in the shape of desolation, destruction, famine and sword),
but it will also happen to those who have walked over and afflicted them]

¹⁷ Awake, awake!
    Stand up, Jerusalem,
    you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath.
¹⁹ These two things have happened to you—
    who will grieve with you?—
desolation and destruction,
    and famine and the sword.
    How can I comfort you?
²¹ Therefore now hear this, you afflicted,
    and drunken, but not with wine:
²² Your Lord Yahweh,
    your God who pleads the cause of his people, says,
“Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering,
    even the bowl of the cup of my wrath.
    You will not drink it any more.
²³ I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you,
    who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’
    and you have laid your back as the ground,
    like a street to those who walk over.”
