Barnes's Isaiah 51:18 Bible Commentary
There is none to guide her - The image here is taken from the condition of one who is under the influence of an intoxicating draught, and who needs some one to sustain and guide him. The idea is, than among all the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the time of the calamity, there was none who could restore to order the agitated and distracted affairs of the nation. All its wisdom was destroyed; its counsels perplexed; its power overcome.
All the sons whom she hath brought forth - All the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Wesley's Isaiah 51:18 Bible Commentary
51:18 None to guide - When thou wast drunk with this cup, and not able to go.
