Isaiah 51:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 I have put my words into your mouth,
I covered you, shielded by my hand,
Stretching out the heavens,
laying the foundations of the earth,
saying to Zion: You are my people.
The Cup of the Lord
17 Wake up, wake up!
Arise, Jerusalem,
You who drank at the Lord’s hand
the cup of his wrath;
Who drained to the dregs
the bowl of staggering!(A)
18 She has no one to guide her
of all the children she bore;
She has no one to take her by the hand,
of all the children she reared!—
Isaiah 51:16-18
New International Version
16 I have put my words in your mouth(A)
and covered you with the shadow of my hand(B)—
I who set the heavens in place,
who laid the foundations of the earth,(C)
and who say to Zion, ‘You are my people.(D)’”
The Cup of the Lord’s Wrath
17 Awake, awake!(E)
Rise up, Jerusalem,
you who have drunk from the hand of the Lord
the cup(F) of his wrath,(G)
you who have drained to its dregs(H)
the goblet that makes people stagger.(I)
18 Among all the children(J) she bore
there was none to guide her;(K)
among all the children she reared
there was none to take her by the hand.(L)
