Isaiah 51:18-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ Jerusalem had many people.
    But there was not a person to lead her.
Of all the people who grew up there,
    no one was there to guide her.
¹⁹ Troubles came to you in groups of two.
    No one will feel sorry for you.
There was ruin and disaster, great hunger and fighting.
    No one can comfort you.
²⁰ Your people have become weak.
    They fall down and lie on every street corner.
    They are like animals caught in a net.
They have felt the full anger of the Lord.
    They have heard God’s angry shout.
