Isaiah 51:16-18
Lexham English Bible
16 And I have put my words in your mouth,
and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand,
to plant the heavens
and to found the earth,
saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
17 Rouse yourself! Rouse yourself!
Stand up, Jerusalem, who have drunk from the hand of Yahweh the cup of his wrath;
you have drunk the goblet, the cup of staggering;
you have drained it out.
18 There is no one who guides her among[a] all the children she has borne,
and there is no one who grasps her by the hand among[b] all the children she raised.

Among all the sons she has brought forth;
Nor is there any who takes her by the hand
Among all the sons she has brought up.
