Lamentations 1:16-18
Christian Standard Bible
ע Ayin
16 I weep because of these things;
my eyes flow[a] with tears.(A)
For there is no one nearby to comfort me,(B)
no one to keep me alive.
My children are desolate
because the enemy has prevailed.
פ Pe
17 Zion stretches out her hands;
there is no one to comfort her.
The Lord has issued a decree against Jacob
that his neighbors should be his adversaries.
Jerusalem has become
something impure(C) among them.
צ Tsade
18 The Lord is just,
for I have rebelled against his command.(D)
Listen, all you people;
look at my pain.
My young women and young men
have gone into captivity.(E)
