“‘Let my eyes overflow with tears^(A)
    night and day without ceasing;
for the Virgin^(B) Daughter, my people,
    has suffered a grievous wound,
    a crushing blow.^(C)

⁴ I will build you up again,
    and you, Virgin^(A) Israel, will be rebuilt.^(B)
Again you will take up your timbrels^(C)
    and go out to dance^(D) with the joyful.^(E)

¹³ Then young women will dance and be glad,
    young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning^(A) into gladness;
    I will give them comfort^(B) and joy^(C) instead of sorrow.
