Isaiah 51:16-18
International Standard Version
16 I have put my words in your mouth
and have covered you with the shadow of my hand,
so that I could plant the heavens
and lay the earth’s foundations,
to say to Zion, ‘You are my people.’
17 “Awake, Awake!
Stand up, Jerusalem,
you who have drunk from the Lord’s hand
from the cup that is[a] his anger.
You have drunk to the dregs
the cup that makes you stagger,[b]
and have drained it.
18 There is no one to guide you[c]
out of all the children she bore,
no one to take her by the hand
out of all the children she brought up.
