Isaiah 51:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ The Lord was very angry with you.
    Your punishment was like wine in a cup.
The Lord made you drink that wine
    until you stumbled.
¹⁸ Jerusalem had many people.
    But there was not a person to lead her.
Of all the people who grew up there,
    no one was there to guide her.
¹⁹ Troubles came to you in groups of two.
    No one will feel sorry for you.
There was ruin and disaster, great hunger and fighting.
    No one can comfort you.
