Isaiah 51:16

Isaiah 51:16

14 The captive exile hastens, that he may be loosed,
^aThat he should not die in the pit,
And that his bread should not fail.

15 But I am the Lord your God,
Who ^adivided the sea whose waves roared—
The Lord of hosts is His name.

16 And ^aI have put My words in your mouth;
^bI have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
^cThat I may¹ plant the heavens,
Lay the foundations of the earth,
And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”

God’s Fury Removed

17 ^aAwake, awake!
Stand up, O Jerusalem,
You who ^bhave drunk at the hand of the Lord
The cup of His fury;
You have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling,
And drained it out.

18 There is no one to guide her
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.
