19 Troubles came to you two by two,
    but no one will feel sorry for you.
There was ruin and disaster, great hunger and fighting.
    No one can comfort you.
20 Your people have become weak.
    They fall down and lie on every street corner,
    like animals caught in a net.
They have felt the full anger of the Lord
    and have heard God’s angry shout.

21 So listen to me, poor Jerusalem,
    you who are drunk but not from wine.

    who can comfort you?(B)
ruin and destruction,(C) famine(D) and sword(E)
    who can[a] console you?
20 Your children have fainted;
    they lie at every street corner,(F)
    like antelope caught in a net.(G)
They are filled with the wrath(H) of the Lord,
    with the rebuke(I) of your God.

21 Therefore hear this, you afflicted(J) one,
    made drunk,(K) but not with wine.
