The call from God is to cause Jerusalem to be recalled to consciousness. The attention is directed to the remaining bodily strength of Jerusalem. She is not merely to awaken but to stand up, erect, as she should be. What Jerusalem has drunk is from the hand of the Lord, and this phrase recalls chapter 40:2. The cup of his wrath is the cup that contains His wrath. When it refers to the elect, cup indicates the moderation of the divine judgment. It is only a cup of wrath, or a bowl not an ocean full. Herein demonstrates the Lord’s divine correction to His children which does not totally destroy but refines.
There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth. With respect to her leaders there is no one adequately leading from among all the sons she has borne. Emphasis falls upon the miserable condition of Jerusalem rather than upon the particular details of that condition.
