Isaiah 51:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ Of all the sons you have brought forth,
    there is no one to guide you;
of all the sons you have reared,
    there is no one to take you by the hand.
¹⁹ Who is there to grieve with you
    about the twofold disaster you have suffered?
Devastation and destruction, famine and sword:
    who can comfort you?
²⁰ Your children are lying helpless
    at the corner of every street
    like antelopes trapped in a net.
They are filled with the wrath of the Lord,
    with the rebuke of your God.
