¹⁵ The ^(A)Lord has rejected all my mighty men
In my midst;
He has called an appointed time against me
To break my ^(B)young men;
The Lord has ^(C)trodden as in a wine press
The virgin daughter of Judah.

¹⁶ For these things I ^(D)am weeping;
^[a]My eyes run down with water;
Because far from me is a ^(E)comforter,
One who restores my soul.
My children are desolate
Because the enemy has prevailed.”

¹⁷ Zion ^(F)stretches out her hands;
There is no one to comfort her;
Yahweh has ^(G)commanded concerning Jacob
That the ones round about him should be his adversaries;
^(H)Jerusalem has become an impure thing among them.
