¹⁹ Woe to me because of my brokenness—
I am severely wounded!^(A)
I exclaimed, “This is my intense suffering,
but I must bear it.”

¹⁷ You are to speak this word to them:
Let my eyes overflow with tears;
day and night may they not stop,^(A)
for the virgin daughter of my people
has been destroyed by a great disaster,^(B)
an extremely severe wound.^(C)
