19. You have been destroyedby war and by famine;I cannot comfort you.
20. The Lord your God is angry,and on every street corneryour children lie helpless,like deer trapped in nets.
21. You are in trouble and drunk,but not from wine.So pay close attention
22. to the Lord your God,who defends you and says,“I have taken from your handsthe cup filled with my angerthat made you drunk.You will never be forcedto drink it again.
23. Instead I will give itto your brutal enemies,who treated you like dirtand walked all over you.”
