Lamentations 2:11-16

11Mine eyesH5869 do failH3615 with tearsH1832, my bowelsH4578 are troubled, my liverH3516 is pouredH8210 uponH5921 the earthH776, for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971; becauseH5921 the young childrenH5768 and the sucklings swoon in the streetsH7339 of the cityH7151.

12They sayH559 to their mothersH517, WhereH346 is corn and wineH3196? when they swoon as the woundedH2491 in the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892, when their soulH5315 is pouredH8210 outH8210 intoH413 their mothers’H517 bosomH2436.

13WhatH4100 shall I testify unto thee? whatH4100 shall I likenH1819 to thee, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389? whatH4100 shall I equalH1819 to thee, that I may comfortH5162 thee, O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726? for thy breach is greatH1419 like the seaH3220: who canH4310 healH7495 thee?

14Thy prophetsH5030 have seenH2372 visionsH7723 for thee of vanityH7723 and foolishness; and they have notH3808 discovered thine iniquityH5771, to bringH7725 againH7725 thy captivityH7622: but have seenH2372 for thee burdens of vanityH7723 and causes of banishment.

15AllH3605 that passH5674 by clapH5606 their handsH3709 at thee; they hissH8319 and wagH5128 their headH7218 at the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559: Is this the cityH5892 that menH7218 calledH559 The perfectionH3632 of beautyH3308, The joyH4885 of the wholeH3605 earthH776?

16AllH3605 thine enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthH6310 wideH6475 againstH5921 thee; they hissH8319 and gnashH2786 the teethH8127; they sayH559, WeH3117 have swallowedH1104 herH3605 upH7200; certainlyH389 this is the dayH3117 that weH3117 lookedH7200 for; weH3117 have foundH4672, weH3117 have seenH7200 it.
