Isaiah 51:18-20
New International Reader's Version
18 Among all the children who were born to you
there was none to guide you.
Among all the children you brought up
there was none to lead you by the hand.
19 Nothing but trouble has come to you.
You have been wiped out and destroyed.
And you have suffered hunger and war.
No one feels sorry for you.
No one can comfort you.
20 Your children have fainted.
They lie helpless at every street corner.
They are like antelope that have been caught in a net.
They have felt the full force of the Lord’s great anger.
Jerusalem, your God had to warn them strongly.
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.
