Isaiah 51:12-23
New American Standard Bible
12 “I, I Myself, am He who (A)comforts you.
Who are you that you are afraid of [a](B)mortal man,
And of a son of man who is made like (C)grass,
13 That you have (D)forgotten the Lord your Maker,
Who (E)stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth,
That you (F)fear continually all day long because of the fury of the oppressor,
As he makes ready to destroy?
And where is the rage of the (G)oppressor?
14 The [b](H)exile will soon be set free, and will not die in the [c]dungeon, (I)nor will his bread be lacking. 15 For I am the Lord your God, who (J)stirs up the sea so that its waves roar (the Lord of armies is His name). 16 And I have (K)put My words in your mouth and have (L)covered you with the shadow of My hand, to [d](M)establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
17 (N)Pull yourself up! Pull yourself up! Arise, Jerusalem!
You who have (O)drunk from the Lord’s hand the cup of His anger;
The [e]chalice of staggering you have drunk to the dregs.
18 There is (P)no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth,
Nor is there anyone to take her by the hand among all the sons she has raised.
19 These two things have happened to you;
Who will mourn for you?
The (Q)devastation and destruction, famine and sword;
How shall I comfort you?
20 Your sons have fainted,
They (R)lie helpless at the head of every street,
Like an (S)antelope in a net,
Full of the wrath of the Lord,
The (T)rebuke of your God.
21 Therefore, listen to this, you (U)afflicted,
Who are (V)drunk, but not with wine:
22 This is what your Lord, the Lord, your God
Who (W)contends for His people says:
“Behold, I have taken from your hand the (X)cup of staggering,
The [f]chalice of My anger;
You will never drink it again.
23 I will (Y)put it into the hand of your tormentors,
Who have said to [g]you, ‘(Z)Lie down so that we may walk over you.’
You have also made your back like the ground,
And like the street for those who walk over it.”
