17 Awake, awake!
    Stand up, Jerusalem,
    you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath.
You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering,
    and drained it.
18 There is no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth;
    and there is no one who takes her by the hand among all the sons whom she has brought up.
19 These two things have happened to you—
    who will grieve with you?—
desolation and destruction,
    and famine and the sword.
    How can I comfort you?
