Isaiah 51:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible
16 I have given you my message
to speak on my behalf.
I have kept you safe in my hand.
I hung up the sky like a curtain,
and I made the foundation of the earth.
I say to Zion, “You are my people.” ’
17 Wake up, people in Jerusalem! Get ready!
The Lord has been angry with you,
and he has punished you.
You had to receive all of his anger,
like you were drinking strong wine from a cup.
Now that you have drunk it all,
you cannot stand up straight!
18 Among all of Jerusalem's people,
there was nobody left to be your leader.
There was nobody who could take care of you.

The Cup of the Lord’s Wrath
17 Awake, awake!(E)
Rise up, Jerusalem,
you who have drunk from the hand of the Lord
the cup(F) of his wrath,(G)
you who have drained to its dregs(H)
the goblet that makes people stagger.(I)
18 Among all the children(J) she bore
there was none to guide her;(K)
among all the children she reared
there was none to take her by the hand.(L)
