17  ^pWake yourself, wake yourself,

stand up, O Jerusalem,

^qyou who have drunk from the hand of the Lord

the cup of his wrath,

who have drunk to the dregs

the bowl, ^rthe cup of staggering.

18  ^sThere is none to guide her

among all the sons she has borne;

there is none to take her by the hand

among all the sons she has brought up.

19  ^tThese two things have happened to you—

who will console you?—

devastation and destruction, famine and sword;

who will comfort you?¹

20  ^uYour sons have fainted;

they lie at the head of every street

like an ^vantelope ^win a net;

they are full of the wrath of the Lord,

the rebuke of your God.

21  ^xTherefore hear this, you who are afflicted,

who are drunk, but not with wine:

22  Thus says your Lord, the Lord,

your God ^ywho pleads the cause of his people:

“Behold, I have taken from your hand ^rthe cup of staggering;

the bowl of my wrath you shall drink no more;

23  ^zand I will put it into the hand of your tormentors,

^awho have said to you,

‘Bow down, that we may pass over’;

and ^byou have made your back like the ground

and like the street for them to pass over.”
