        weary and faint, like an antelope trapped in a net.
    Each is overcome with the Eternal’s anger; each suffers His rebuke.

21 But now, listen! Listen, you who are miserable,
    you who are intoxicated, but not on wine.
22 The Lord, your God, the Eternal, who pleads for His people, has this to say:

20 Your children have fainted;
    they lie at every street corner,(A)
    like antelope caught in a net.(B)
