Isaiah 51:16-18
New King James Version
16 And (A)I have put My words in your mouth;
(B)I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
(C)That I may [a]plant the heavens,
Lay the foundations of the earth,
And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”
God’s Fury Removed
17 (D)Awake, awake!
Stand up, O Jerusalem,
You who (E)have drunk at the hand of the Lord
The cup of His fury;
You have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling,
And drained it out.
18 There is no one to guide her
Among all the sons she has brought forth;
Nor is there any who takes her by the hand
Among all the sons she has brought up.
