Isaiah 51:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ Wake up, people in Jerusalem! Get ready!
The Lord has been angry with you,
    and he has punished you.
You had to receive all of his anger,
    like you were drinking strong wine from a cup.
Now that you have drunk it all,
    you cannot stand up straight!
¹⁸ Among all of Jerusalem's people,
    there was nobody left to be your leader.
There was nobody who could take care of you.
¹⁹ War and famine have destroyed you.
    Both those terrible things have happened to you.
Who feels sorry for you?
    Who is there to comfort you?
