Lamentations 2:11-18
11Mine eyesH5869 are consumed with tearsH1832, my bowelsH4578 are troubled; my liverH3516 is pouredH8210 upon the earthH776, because of the ruinH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971; because infant and suckling swoon in the streets of the city.
12They sayH559 to their mothersH517, WhereH346 is corn and wineH3196? when they swoon as the woundedH2491 in the streets of the cityH5892; when they pourH8210 out their soulH5315 into their mothers' bosomH2436.
13What shall I take to witness for thee? what shall I likenH1819 unto thee, daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389? What shall I equal to thee, that I may comfortH5162 thee, virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726? For thy ruinH7667 is greatH1419 as the seaH3220: who will healH7495 thee?
14Thy prophetsH5030 have seenH2372 vanityH7723 and folly for thee; and they have not revealedH1540 thine iniquityH5771, to turnH7725 awayH7725 thy captivityH7622; but have seenH2372 for thee burdens of falsehoodH7723 and causes of expulsion.
15All that passH5674 by clapH5606 [their] handsH3709 at thee; they hissH8319 and shakeH5128 their headH7218 at the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389: Is this the cityH5892 which they called, The perfection of beautyH3308, The joyH4885 of the whole earthH776?
16All thine enemiesH341 openH6475 their mouthH6310 against thee, they hissH8319 and gnashH2786 the teethH8127: they sayH559, We have swallowedH1104 [her] up; this is forsooth the dayH3117 that we lookedH7200 for: we have foundH4672, we have seenH7200 [it].
17Jehovah hath done what he had devised; he hath fulfilled his wordH565 which he had commandedH6680 from the daysH3117 of old: he hath thrown downH2040, and hath not sparedH2550, and he hath caused the enemyH341 to rejoiceH8055 over thee; he hath set up the hornH7161 of thine adversaries.
18Their heartH3820 criedH6817 unto the LordH136. O wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, let tearsH1832 run down like a torrent dayH3119 and nightH3915: giveH5414 thyself no respite; let not the apple of thine eyeH5869 rest.
