“These pairs have befallen you: devastation and destruction, famine and sword. Who will grieve for you? Who can comfort you?”
Isaiah 51:19 (BSB)
Context Reading
17Awake, awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; you who have drained the goblet to the dregs — the cup that makes men stagger. 18Among all the sons she bore, there is no one to guide her; among all the sons she brought up, there is no one to take her hand. 19These pairs have befallen you: devastation and destruction, famine and sword. Who will grieve for you? Who can comfort you? 20Your sons have fainted; they lie at the head of every street, like an antelope in a net. They are full of the wrath of the LORD, the rebuke of your God. 21Therefore now hear this, you afflicted one, drunken, but not with wine.
