Lamentations 2:11-13

English Standard Version

^11 (A)My eyes are spent with weeping;
    ^(B)my stomach churns;
^(C)my bile is poured out to the ground
    ^(D)because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
^(E)because infants and babies ^(F)faint
    in the streets of the city.

¹² They cry to their mothers,
    ^(G)“Where is bread and wine?”
^(H)as they faint like a wounded man
    in the streets of the city,
as their life is poured out
    on their mothers' bosom.

¹³ What can I say for you, ^(I)to what compare you,
    O daughter of Jerusalem?
^(J)What can I liken to you, that I may comfort you,
    O virgin daughter of Zion?
^(K)For your ruin is vast as the sea;
    who can heal you?
