19. These two calamities have fallen on you:desolation and destruction, famine and war.And who is left to sympathize with you?Who is left to comfort you?
20. For your children have fainted and lie in the streets,helpless as antelopes caught in a net.The lord has poured out his fury;God has rebuked them.
21. But now listen to this, you afflicted oneswho sit in a drunken stupor,though not from drinking wine.
22. This is what the Sovereign lord,your God and Defender, says:“See, I have taken the terrible cup from your hands.You will drink no more of my fury.
23. Instead, I will hand that cup to your tormentors,those who said, ‘We will trample you into the dustand walk on your backs.’”
