Lamentations 2:11-13

New King James Version

^11 (A)My eyes fail with tears,
My ^[a]heart is troubled;
^(B)My ^[b]bile is poured on the ground
Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
Because ^(C)the children and the infants
Faint in the streets of the city.

¹² They say to their mothers,
“Where is grain and wine?”
As they swoon like the wounded
In the streets of the city,
As their life is poured out
In their mothers’ bosom.

¹³ How shall I ^(D)console^[c] you?
To what shall I liken you,
O daughter of Jerusalem?
What shall I compare with you, that I may comfort you,
O virgin daughter of Zion?
For your ruin is spread wide as the sea;
Who can heal you?
