Lamentations 2:11-16

11My 1eyesH5869 failH3615 because of tearsH1832, My 23spiritH4578 is greatlyH2560 troubledH2560; My 45heartH3516 is pouredH8210 outH8210 on the earthH776 6BecauseH5921 of the 7destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, When 8littleH5768 onesH5768 and infantsH3243 languishH5848 In the streetsH7339 of the cityH7151.12They sayH559 to their mothersH517, “9WhereH346 is grainH1715 and wineH3196?” As they faintH5848 like a woundedH2491 personH2491 In the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892, As their 10livesH5315 are pouredH8210 outH8210 11In their mothers’H517 armsH2436.13HowH4100 shall I admonishH5749 you? WhatH4100 12shall I compareH1819 to you, DaughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389? WhatH4100 shall I likenH7737 to you as I comfortH5162 you, 13VirginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726? For your collapseH7667 is as vastH1419 as the seaH3220; WhoH4310 can 14healH7495 you?14Your 15prophetsH5030 have seenH2372 for you WorthlessH7723 and deceptiveH8602 visions; And they have not 16exposedH1540 your wrongdoingH5771 So as to restoreH7725 you from captivityH7622, But they have 17seenH2372 for you worthlessH7723 and misleadingH4065 pronouncementsH4065.15AllH3605 who passH5674 alongH5674 the wayH1870 18ClapH5606 their handsH3709 in ridicule at you; They 1920hissH8319 and shakeH5128 their headsH7218 At the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389: “Is thisH2088 the cityH5892 of whichH7945 they saidH559, ‘21PerfectH3632 in beautyH3308, 22A joyH4885 to allH3605 the earthH776’?”16AllH3605 23your enemiesH340 Have openedH6475 their mouthsH6310 wideH6475 againstH5921 you; They 24hissH8319 and 25gnashH2786 their teethH8127. They sayH559, “We have 26engulfedH1104 her! ThisH2088 certainlyH389 is the 27dayH3117 whichH7945 we awaitedH6960; We have reachedH4672 it, we have seenH7200 it!”
