Isaiah 51:16-18
Good News Translation
16 I stretched out[a] the heavens
and laid the earth's foundations;
I say to Jerusalem, ‘You are my people!
I have given you my teaching,
and I protect you with my hand.’”
The End of Jerusalem's Suffering
17 (A)Jerusalem, wake up!
Rouse yourself and get up!
You have drunk the cup of punishment
that the Lord in his anger gave you to drink;
you drank it down, and it made you stagger.
18 There is no one to lead you,
no one among your people
to take you by the hand.

16 I have put my words in your mouth(A)

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 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)
