17
Wake yourself, wake yourself up!
Stand up, Jerusalem,
you who have drunk the cup of His fury(A)
from the hand of the Lord;
you who have drunk the goblet to the dregs—
the cup that causes people to stagger.
18 Stand up, Jerusalem,
you who have drunk the cup of His fury(A)
from the hand of the Lord;
you who have drunk the goblet to the dregs—
the cup that causes people to stagger.
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.

20 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.
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.

This is what your Lord says—
Yahweh, even your God,
who defends His people(D)—
“Look, I have removed
the cup of staggering from your hand;
that goblet, the cup of My fury.
You will never drink it again.

“Look, I have removed
the cup of staggering from your hand;
that goblet, the cup of My fury.
You will never drink it again.
I will put it into the hands of your tormentors,
who said to you:(E)
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.
