This is how _The Stone Edition Tanach_ translates
it:
Behold, I am making Jerusalem a cup of poison
for all the peoples all around;* also Judah
will take part in the siege of Jerusalem.
* Before the End of Days, the nations will
besiede Jerusalem, and even force Jews to join
them, but the enemies will be destroyed
instead (_Targum_).
