Isaiah 51:17-19
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Cup of the Lord’s Wrath
17 Rouse yourself! Rouse yourself! Get up, Jerusalem!
You have drunk the cup filled with the Lord’s wrath from his hand.
You drank it. You drained the chalice, the cup that makes you stagger.
18 There is no one to guide her from among all the sons she bore.
There is no one to take her hand from among all the sons she raised.
19 Those two things are happening to you.[a]
Who will grieve for you?
Devastation and destruction and famine and sword!
Who will comfort you?[b]
