Lamentations 2:11-13
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 languish In the streets of the city.12They say to their mothers, “9Where is grain and wine?” As they faint like a wounded person In the streets of the city, As their 10lives are poured out 11In their mothers’ arms.13How shall I admonish you? What 12shall I compare to you, Daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I liken to you as I comfort you, 13Virgin daughter of Zion? For your collapse is as vast as the sea; Who can 14heal you?
