Lamentations 2:11-16

11My 1eyes fail because of tears, My 23spirit is greatly troubled; My 45heart is poured out on the earth 6Because of the 7destruction of the daughter of my people, When 8little ones and infants faint In the streets of the city.12They say to their mothers, “9Where is grain and wine?” As they faint like a wounded man In the streets of the city, As their 10life is poured out On their mothers’ bosom.13How shall I admonish you? To what 11shall I compare you, O daughter of Jerusalem? To what shall I liken you as I comfort you, O 12virgin daughter of Zion? For your 13ruin is as vast as the sea; Who can 14heal you?14Your 15prophets have seen for you False and foolish visions; And they have not 16exposed your iniquity So as to restore you from captivity, But they have 17seen for you false and misleading 18oracles.15All who pass along the way 19Clap their hands in derision at you; They 20hiss and shake their heads At the daughter of Jerusalem, “Is this the city of which they said, ‘21The perfection of beauty, 22A joy to all the earth’?”16All 23your enemies Have opened their mouths wide against you; They hiss and 24gnash their teeth. They say, “We have 25swallowed her up! Surely this is the 26day for which we waited; We have reached it, we have seen it.”
