20 Your ·people [L children; sons] have ·become weak [fainted].
    They fall down and lie ·on every street corner [L at the head of every street],
    like ·animals [L antelope] caught in a net.
They ·have felt the full anger [or are filled with the wrath] of the Lord
    and have heard God’s ·angry shout [rebuke].

21 So listen to me, ·poor Jerusalem [L oppressed/afflicted one],
    you who are drunk but not from wine.
22 Your God will ·defend [plead the case of] his people.
    This is what the Lord your God says:
“·The punishment I gave you is like a cup of wine.
    You drank it and could not walk straight.
But I am taking that cup of my anger away from you, [L Look/T Behold, I have taken from your hand the cup of staggering,
the dregs of the cup of my wrath]
    and you will never ·be punished by my anger [L drink from it] again.
