17 Wake yourself, wake yourself up!

Stand up, Jerusalem,

you who have drunk the cup of his furyh

from the Lord’s hand;

you who have drunk the goblet to the dregs—

the cup that causes people to stagger.

18 There is no one to guide her

among all the children she has raised;

there is no one to take hold of her hand

among all the offspring she has brought up.

19 These two things have happened to you:i

devastation and destruction,

famine and sword.

Who will grieve for you?

How can IC comfort you?

20 Your children have fainted;

they lie at the head of every street

like an antelope in a net.

They are full of the Lord’s fury,

the rebuke of your God.

21 So listen to this, suffering

and drunken one—but not with wine.j

22 This is what your Lord says—

the Lord, even your God,

who defends his peoplek—

“Look, I have removed from your hand

the cup that causes staggering;

that goblet, the cup of my fury.

You will never drink it again.

23 I will put it into the hands of your tormentors,

who said to you,l

‘Lie down, so we can walk over you.’

You made your back like the ground,

and like a street for those who walk on it.
