Isaiah 51:17-19

The Voice

¹⁷     Get up. Get up, and get moving! Stand up, Jerusalem,
        you who have experienced firsthand the punishing anger of God.
    You have drunk that terrible cup to the last gritty drop,
        and it left you reeling, drunk on distress.
¹⁸     Ah, poor Jerusalem! No one comes to guide her along.
        Of all her people, all the ones whom the city nurtured and raised to adulthood,
    None take her hand now in her stupor of pain.
¹⁹     Twin disasters have befallen you:
        devastation and destruction, famine and war.
    Who can relieve your anguish and pain?
        Who is left to provide comfort?
