¹⁷ You are to speak this word to them:
Let my eyes overflow with tears;
day and night may they not stop,^(A)
for the virgin daughter of my people
has been destroyed by a great disaster,^(B)
an extremely severe wound.^(C)

¹⁹ There is no remedy for your injury;
your wound is severe.^(A)
All who hear the news about you
will clap their hands because of you,
for who has not experienced
your constant cruelty?
