A Warning to Jerusalem

17 (A) Jerusalem, wake up! Stand up!
You've drunk too much
    from the cup filled
    with the Lord's anger.
You have swallowed every drop,
    and you can't walk straight.
18 Not one of your many children
is there to guide you
    or to offer a helping hand.
19 You have been destroyed
by war and by famine;
    I cannot comfort you.[a]
