Isaiah 51:18-20
Expanded Bible
18 ·Though Jerusalem had many people [L Among all the children she bore],
there was not one to lead her.
Of all the people ·who grew up there [she raised],
no one was there to ·guide her [L take her by the hand].
19 ·Troubles [Calamities] came to you two by two,
but no one will ·feel sorry for [or console] you.
There was ruin and ·disaster [destruction], ·great hunger [famine] and ·fighting [L sword].
·No one [L But who…?] can comfort you.
20 Your ·people [L children; sons] have ·become weak [fainted].
They fall down and lie ·on every street corner [L at the head of every street],
like ·animals [L antelope] caught in a net.
They ·have felt the full anger [or are filled with the wrath] of the Lord
and have heard God’s ·angry shout [rebuke].
Isaiah 51:18-20
New International Version
18 Among all the children(A) she bore
there was none to guide her;(B)
among all the children she reared
there was none to take her by the hand.(C)
19 These double calamities(D) have come upon you—
who can comfort you?(E)—
ruin and destruction,(F) famine(G) and sword(H)—
who can[a] console you?
20 Your children have fainted;
they lie at every street corner,(I)
like antelope caught in a net.(J)
They are filled with the wrath(K) of the Lord,
with the rebuke(L) of your God.
