    Those troubles have eaten you to the end
    until you could only stagger.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

    you who have drunk from the LORD’s hand, from the cup of his anger,
    and [who] have drunk from the cup of staggering, [drinking it] clean,
    wake up from sleep, wake up from sleep!” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
