20 
Your sons have fainted;
They lie helpless at the head of every street,
Like an antelope in a net,
Full [from drinking] of the wrath of the Lord,
The rebuke of your God.

21 
Therefore, now hear this, you who are afflicted,
Who are drunk, but not with wine [but overwhelmed by the wrath of God].
22 
So says your Lord, the Lord, who is also your God
Who pleads the cause of His people,
“Listen carefully, I have taken from your hand the cup of staggering and intoxication,
The cup of My wrath;
You shall never drink it again.

20 Your children have fainted;
    they lie at every street corner,(A)
    like antelope caught in a net.(B)
They are filled with the wrath(C) of the Lord,
    with the rebuke(D) of your God.

21 Therefore hear this, you afflicted(E) one,
    made drunk,(F) but not with wine.
22 This is what your Sovereign Lord says,
    your God, who defends(G) his people:
“See, I have taken out of your hand
    the cup(H) that made you stagger;
from that cup, the goblet of my wrath,
    you will never drink again.
