Lamentations 2:11-13

11Mine eyesH5869 do failH3615 with tearsH1832, my bowelsH4578 are troubledH2560, my liverH3516 is pouredH8210 upon the earthH776, for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971; because the childrenH5768 and the sucklingsH3243 swoonH5848 in the streetsH7339 of the cityH7151.1

12They sayH559 to their mothersH517, Where is grainH1715 and wineH3196? when they swoonedH5848 as the woundedH2491 in the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892, when their soulH5315 was poured outH8210 into their mothers’H517 bosomH2436.

13What thing shall I take to witnessH5749 for thee? what thingH4100 shall I likenH1819 to thee, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389? what shall I equalH7737 to thee, that I may comfortH5162 thee, O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726? for thy breachH7667 is greatH1419 like the seaH3220: who can healH7495 thee?
