Isaiah 51:15 in context

Isaiah 51:12–18

12

“I, even I, am he who comforts you.

Who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die,

and of the son of man who will be made as grass?

13

Have you forgotten the LORD your Maker,

who stretched out the heavens,

and laid the foundations of the earth?

Do you live in fear continually all day because of the fury of the oppressor,

when he prepares to destroy?

Where is the fury of the oppressor?

14

The captive exile will speedily be freed.

He will not die and go down into the pit.

His bread won’t fail.

15
Selected verse

For I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea

so that its waves roar.

the LORD of Armies is his name.

16

I have put my words in your mouth

and have covered you in the shadow of my hand,

that I may plant the heavens,

and lay the foundations of the earth,

and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’”

17

Awake, awake!

Stand up, Jerusalem,

you who have drunk from the LORD’s hand the cup of his wrath.

You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering,

and drained it.

18

There is no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth;

and there is no one who takes her by the hand among all the sons whom she has brought up.
