Therefore now hear this, you afflicted one, drunken, but not with wine.
Isaiah 51:21, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Jerusalem is addressed as a woman who has drained the cup of the LORD's fury, staggering like a drunkard though not from wine. The image runs through verses 17 to 23: the city's devastation, famine and sword are pictured as a cup she was forced to drink, and her sons lie faint in the streets with no one to guide her.
