Isaiah 51:19-21

New International Reader's Version

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.
