17 Awake, awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, who have drunk from the hand of YHWH the cup of His anger—the goblet, the cup of reeling—you have drunk, you drained it! 18 There is not one guiding her among all the sons she has borne; and there is no one one to take her hand among all the sons she has brought up. 19 These two things are meeting you—who will grieve for you? The devastation and the destruction, and the famine and the sword—who can comfort you? 20 Your sons have fainted; they lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net, being full of the rage of YHWH, the rebuke of your God. 21 Therefore hear now this, O afflicted and drunken one, and not with wine! 22 Thus says your Lord YHWH, and your God contending for His people: “Behold, I have taken from your hand the cup of reeling—the goblet the cup of My fury. You will not continue to drink it anymore! 23 And I will put it into the hand of those afflicting you, who said to you, ‘Lie down, that we may walk over you!’ And you set your back like the ground, and like the street for walking over.” Isaiah 51:17-23, Berean Literal Bible.
