ס Samek

15 The Lord has rejected(A)
all the mighty men within me.
He has summoned an army[a] against me
to crush my young warriors.
The Lord has trampled Virgin Daughter Judah(B)
like grapes in a winepress.(C)

ע Ayin

16 I weep because of these things;
my eyes flow[b] with tears.(D)
For there is no one nearby to comfort me,(E)
no one to keep me alive.
My children are desolate
because the enemy has prevailed.

פ Pe

17 Zion stretches out her hands;
there is no one to comfort her.
The Lord has issued a decree against Jacob
that his neighbors should be his adversaries.
Jerusalem has become
something impure(F) among them.
