[51:17] Jerusalem, wake up! Rouse yourself and get up! You have drunk the cup of punishment that the Lord in his anger gave you to drink; you drank it down, and it made you stagger.
[51:18] There is no one to lead you, no one among your people to take you by the hand.
[51:19] A double disaster has fallen on you: your land has been devastated by war, and your people have starved. There is no one to show you sympathy.
[51:20] At the corner of every street your people collapse from weakness; they are like deer caught in a hunter's net. They have felt the force of God's anger.
[51:21] You suffering people of Jerusalem, you that stagger as though you were drunk,
[51:22] the Lord your God defends you and says, “I am taking away the cup that I gave you in my anger. You will no longer have to drink the wine that makes you stagger.
[51:23] I will give it to those who oppressed you, to those who made you lie down in the streets and trampled on you as if you were dirt.”
