Isaiah 51:17-19

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁷ Rouse yourself, rouse yourself!
    Stand up, O Jerusalem,
you who have drunk at the hand of the Lord
    the cup of his wrath,
who have drunk to the dregs
    the bowl of staggering.
¹⁸ There is no one to guide her
    among all the children she has borne;
there is no one to take her by the hand
    among all the children she has brought up.
¹⁹ These two things have befallen you
    —who will grieve with you?—
devastation and destruction, famine and sword—
    who will comfort you?^[a]
