¹⁶ “For these things ^(A)I weep;
    my eyes flow with tears;
for ^(B)a comforter is far from me,
    one to ^(C)revive my spirit;
my children are desolate,
    for the enemy has prevailed.”

^2 (A)She weeps bitterly in the night,
    with tears on her cheeks;
^(B)among all her lovers
    she has ^(C)none to comfort her;
^(D)all her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
    they have become her enemies.

²¹ “They heard^{[a] (A)}my groaning,
    yet ^(B)there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
    ^(C)they are glad that you have done it.
You have brought^[b] the day you announced;
    ^(D)now let them be as I am.
