Isaiah 51:17-19

Modern English Version

¹⁷ Awake, awake,
    stand up, O Jerusalem,
you who have drunk at the hand of the Lord
    the cup of His fury;
the cup of reeling
    you have drained to the dregs.
¹⁸ There is no one to guide her
    among all the sons she has brought forth;
nor is there anyone to take hold of her hand
    of all the sons that she has brought up.
¹⁹ These two things have befallen you;
    who shall be mournful for you?
Desolation, and destruction, and famine, and sword—
    how shall I comfort you?
