    You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering,
    and drained it.
  2. 18There 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 who she has brought up.

    who will grieve with you?—
    desolation and destruction,
    and famine and the sword.
    How can I comfort you?

    They lie at the head of all the streets,
    like an antelope in a net.

    the rebuke of your God.

    and drunken, but not with wine:
