Therefore hear this, you who are afflicted, who are drunk, but not with wine:
Stupefy yourselves and be in a stupor, blind yourselves and be blind! Be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not with strong drink!
Rouse yourself, rouse yourself, stand up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his wrath, who have drunk to the dregs the bowl of staggering.
“O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in antimony, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
I trod down the peoples in my anger, I made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
He has filled me with bitterness, he has sated me with wormwood.
