⁸ You forgot the everlasting God, who brought you up,
    and you grieved Jerusalem, who reared you.

¹² Let no one rejoice over me, a widow
    and bereaved of many;
I was left desolate because of the sins of my children,
    because they turned away from the law of God.^(A)

¹⁹ Go, my children, go,
    for I have been left desolate.^(A)
