Lamentations 2:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ My eyes ·have no more tears [^Lare exhausted from tears],
    and ·I am sick to my stomach [^Lmy innards/stomach/bowels are agitated].
·I feel empty inside [^LMy bile/gall is poured out on the ground],
    because ·my people [^Lthe daughter of my people] have been ·destroyed [shattered; broken].
Children and ·babies [nurslings] are fainting
    in the ·streets [public areas] of the city.

¹² They ask their mothers,
    “Where is the grain and wine?”
They faint like wounded soldiers
    in the ·streets [public areas] of the city
and ·die [^Lpour out their lives] in their mothers’ ·arms [^Lbosom].

¹³ What can I ·say [testify] about you, [^Ldaughter] Jerusalem?
    What can I compare you to?
What can I say you are like?
    How can I comfort you, ·Jerusalem [^Lvirgin daughter Zion; ^Clocation of the Temple]?
Your ·ruin [wound] is as ·deep [great] as the sea.
    ·No one [^LWho…?] can heal you.
