Isaiah 51:18-20

Modern English Version

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.
¹⁹ These two things have befallen you;
    who shall be mournful for you?
Desolation, and destruction, and famine, and sword—
    how shall I comfort you?
²⁰ Your sons have fainted;
    they lie at the head of all the streets
    as an antelope in a net;
they are full of the fury of the Lord,
    the rebuke of your God.
