Isaiah 51:19-21
New English Translation
Isaiah 51:19-21
New English Translation
19 These double disasters confronted you.
But who feels sorry for you?
Destruction and devastation,
famine and sword.
But who consoles you?[a]
20 Your children faint;
they lie at the head of every street
like an antelope in a snare.
They are left in a stupor by the Lord’s anger,
by the battle cry of your God.[b]
21 So listen to this, oppressed one,
who is drunk, but not from wine.
