Isaiah 51:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ Among all of Jerusalem's people,
    there was nobody left to be your leader.
There was nobody who could take care of you.
¹⁹ War and famine have destroyed you.
    Both those terrible things have happened to you.
Who feels sorry for you?
    Who is there to comfort you?
²⁰ Your children have become weak,
    and they lie on the ground at the side of every street.
They are like deer that a trap has caught.
The anger of the Lord your God has made them helpless.
    He has warned them loudly.
