Lamentations 2:11-13
New American Standard Bible
11 My (A)eyes fail because of tears,
My [a](B)spirit is greatly troubled;
My [b](C)heart is poured out on the earth
(D)Because of the [c]destruction of the daughter of my people,
When (E)little ones and infants languish
In the streets of the city.
12 They say to their mothers,
“(F)Where is grain and wine?”
As they faint like a wounded person
In the streets of the city,
As their (G)lives are poured out
[d]In their mothers’ arms.
13 How shall I admonish you?
What (H)shall I compare to you,
Daughter of Jerusalem?
What shall I liken to you as I comfort you,
(I)Virgin daughter of Zion?
For your collapse is as vast as the sea;
Who can (J)heal you?
