18 From all the children she gave birth to,
    there was no one to guide her.
    From all the children she raised,
    there was no one to take her by the hand.

    Who will feel sorry for you?
    Violence, destruction, famine, and war have happened to you.
    Who will comfort you?

    They lie sleeping at every street corner.
    They are like an antelope caught in a net.
    They experience the anger of Yahweh,
        the fury of your Elohim.
