Context of Isaiah 51:15
13Do not forget about the Lord who made you! I hung up the sky like a curtain. I made the foundation of the earth. So why are you always shaking with fear? Do not be afraid when your enemy is angry, and he is ready to attack you. Your enemy's anger is useless! 14The people who have trouble and pain will soon become free. They will not stay in the prison of death. They will have all the food that they need. Remember that I am the Lord your God. I shake the sea so that its waves roar! My name is the Lord Almighty. 16I have given you my message to speak on my behalf. I have kept you safe in my hand. I hung up the sky like a curtain, and I made the foundation of the earth. I say to Zion, “You are my people.” ’ 17Wake up, people in Jerusalem! Get ready! The Lord has been angry with you, and he has punished you. You had to receive all of his anger, like you were drinking strong wine from a cup. Now that you have drunk it all, you cannot stand up straight!
