Isaiah 51:18-20
Good News Translation
18 There is no one to lead you,
no one among your people
to take you by the hand.
19 A double disaster has fallen on you:
your land has been devastated by war,
and your people have starved.
There is no one to show you sympathy.
20 At the corner of every street
your people collapse from weakness;
they are like deer caught in a hunter's net.
They have felt the force of God's anger.
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.
