Isaiah 51:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ I have put My words in your mouth,
    and I have covered you in the shadow of My hand
that I may plant the heavens,
    and lay the foundations of the earth,
    and say to Zion, “You are My people.”

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.
