Isaiah 51:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ Wake up, Jerusalem!
    Wake up! Get up!
The Lord has handed you the cup of his great anger.
    And you have drunk from it.
That cup makes people unsteady on their feet.
    And you have drunk from it to the very last drop.
¹⁸ Among all the children who were born to you
    there was none to guide you.
Among all the children you brought up
    there was none to lead you by the hand.
¹⁹ Nothing but trouble has come to you.
    You have been wiped out and destroyed.
    And you have suffered hunger and war.
No one feels sorry for you.
    No one can comfort you.
