God Punished Israel

17 Awake! Awake!
    Get up, Jerusalem.
·The Lord was very angry with you;
    your punishment was like wine in a cup.
The Lord made you drink that wine [L You have drunk from the hand of the Lord the cup of his wrath];
    you ·drank the whole cup [L drained the goblet to its dregs] until you stumbled.
18 ·Though Jerusalem had many people [L Among all the children she bore],
    there was not one to lead her.
Of all the people ·who grew up there [she raised],
    no one was there to ·guide her [L take her by the hand].
19 ·Troubles [Calamities] came to you two by two,
    but no one will ·feel sorry for [or console] you.
There was ruin and ·disaster [destruction], ·great hunger [famine] and ·fighting [L sword].
    ·No one [L But who…?] can comfort you.
