Yahweh using Jerusalem to punish the surrounding peoples is spoken of as if Yahweh would make Jerusalem a cup full of an alcoholic drink that will cause the surrounding peoples to get drunk and stagger. Alternate translation: “Soon it will be like I make Jerusalem into a cup … to stagger about”

(Occurrence 0) surrounding her
(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! I make DOM Yerushalayim cup_of reeling to/from=all/each/any/every the,peoples surrounding and=also on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yehuda will_belong in/on/at/with,siege on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) )
Here “her” refers to the city of Jerusalem. It was common in Hebrew to speak of a city or country as if it were a woman.
12:2 intoxicating drink (literally bowl of reeling or cup of staggering): The cup of alcoholic drink is a metaphor for God’s judgment (Isa 51:17; Jer 25:15; Hab 2:16; Matt 26:39, 42; Rev 14:10; 16:1). Jerusalem would be instrumental in God’s judgment on the nearby nations.
