10The eldersH2205 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 1SitH3427 on the groundH776 and 23areH1826 silentH1826. They have thrownH5927 4dustH6083 on their headsH7218; They have putH2296 onH2296 5sackclothH8242. The 6virginsH1330 of JerusalemH3389 Have bowedH3381 their headsH7218 to the groundH776.11My 7eyesH5869 failH3615 because of tearsH1832, My 89spiritH4578 is greatlyH2560 troubledH2560; My 1011heartH3516 is pouredH8210 outH8210 on the earthH776 12BecauseH5921 of the 13destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, When 14littleH5768 onesH5768 and infantsH3243 languishH5848 In the streetsH7339 of the cityH7151.12They sayH559 to their mothersH517, “15WhereH346 is grainH1715 and wineH3196?” As they faintH5848 like a woundedH2491 personH2491 In the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892, As their 16livesH5315 are pouredH8210 outH8210 17In their mothers’H517 armsH2436.13HowH4100 shall I admonishH5749 you? WhatH4100 18shall I compareH1819 to you, DaughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389? WhatH4100 shall I likenH7737 to you as I comfortH5162 you, 19VirginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726? For your collapseH7667 is as vastH1419 as the seaH3220; WhoH4310 can 20healH7495 you?14Your 21prophetsH5030 have seenH2372 for you WorthlessH7723 and deceptiveH8602 visions; And they have not 22exposedH1540 your wrongdoingH5771 So as to restoreH7725 you from captivityH7622, But they have 23seenH2372 for you worthlessH7723 and misleadingH4065 pronouncementsH4065.15AllH3605 who passH5674 alongH5674 the wayH1870 24ClapH5606 their handsH3709 in ridicule at you; They 2526hissH8319 and shakeH5128 their headsH7218 At the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389: “Is thisH2088 the cityH5892 of whichH7945 they saidH559, ‘27PerfectH3632 in beautyH3308, 28A joyH4885 to allH3605 the earthH776’?”16AllH3605 29your enemiesH340 Have openedH6475 their mouthsH6310 wideH6475 againstH5921 you; They 30hissH8319 and 31gnashH2786 their teethH8127. They sayH559, “We have 32engulfedH1104 her! ThisH2088 certainlyH389 is the 33dayH3117 whichH7945 we awaitedH6960; We have reachedH4672 it, we have seenH7200 it!”17The LordH3068 has 34doneH6213 whatH834 He determinedH2161; He has accomplishedH1214 His wordH565 WhichH834 He commandedH6680 from daysH3117 of oldH6924. He has tornH2040 downH2040 35withoutH3808 sparingH2550, And He has helped the enemyH340 to 36rejoiceH8055 overH5921 you; He has 37exaltedH7311 the 38mightH7161 of your adversariesH6862.18Their 39heartH3820 criedH6817 outH6817 to the LordH136: “You 40wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, Let your 41tearsH1832 streamH3381 downH3381 like a riverH5158 dayH3119 and nightH3915; GiveH5414 yourself noH408 reliefH6314, Let 42your eyesH5869 haveH1826 noH408 restH1826.19AriseH6965, whimperH7442 in the 43nightH3915 At the beginningH7218 of the night watchesH821; 44PourH8210 outH8210 your heartH3820 like waterH4325 BeforeH5227 the presenceH6440 of the LordH136; RaiseH5375 your handsH3709 to Him For the 45lifeH5315 of your littleH5768 onesH5768 Who 46languishH5848 because of hungerH7458 At the headH7218 of everyH3605 streetH2351.
