¹⁷ You will say this word to them,
‘^(A)Let my eyes stream down tears night and day,
And let them not cease;
For the virgin ^(B)daughter of my people has been crushed with a mighty blow,
With a sorely ^(C)infected wound.

¹³ How shall I admonish you?
What ^(A)shall I compare to you,
Daughter of Jerusalem?
What shall I liken to you as I comfort you,
^(B)Virgin daughter of Zion?
For your collapse is as vast as the sea;
Who can ^(C)heal you?
