Isaiah 51:18-20

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸ Not one of your many children
is there to guide you
    or to offer a helping hand.
¹⁹ You have been destroyed
by war and by famine;
    I cannot comfort you.^[a]
20 The Lord your God is angry,
    and on every street corner
your children lie helpless,
    like deer trapped in nets.
