Isaiah 51:18 in context

  1. 16I have put my words in your mouth
    and have covered you in the shadow of my hand,
    that I may plant the heavens,
    and lay the foundations of the earth,
    and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’ ”
  2. 17Awake, awake!
    Stand up, Jerusalem,
    you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath.
    You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering,
    and drained it.
  3. 18There is no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth;
    and there is no one who takes her by the hand among all the sons who she has brought up.
  4. 19These two things have happened to you—
    who will grieve with you?—
    desolation and destruction,
    and famine and the sword.
    How can I comfort you?
  5. 20Your sons have fainted.
    They lie at the head of all the streets,
    like an antelope in a net.
    They are full of Yahweh’s wrath,
    the rebuke of your God.
