Lamentations 2:13-15
New King James Version
13 How shall I (A)console[a] you?
To what shall I liken you,
O daughter of Jerusalem?
What shall I compare with you, that I may comfort you,
O virgin daughter of Zion?
For your ruin is spread wide as the sea;
Who can heal you?
14 Your (B)prophets have seen for you
False and deceptive visions;
They have not (C)uncovered your iniquity,
To bring back your captives,
But have envisioned for you false (D)prophecies and delusions.
15 All who [b]pass by (E)clap their hands at you;
They hiss (F)and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that is called
(G)‘The perfection of beauty,
The joy of the whole earth’?”
