Note

Past «woke», past participle «woken» («I have woken»). «Wake up» and «get up» differ: you can wake up and stay in bed. «Awake» means not asleep. Maths: gives an end time; sleep time = wake time − bedtime, counting past midnight (9:00 at night to 6:00 in the morning is 9 hours, not 3).

In Jewish tradition

It means to rouse from sleep. In Zechariah an angel wakes the prophet for a vision, and in Jeremiah the drunk leaders will not wake, meaning they will die.

Interpretation. The tradition reads the "perpetual sleep" as death, the end of Babylon's rulers.

Examples
