    (A)sit on the ground (B)in silence;
(C)they have thrown dust on their heads
    and (D)put on sackcloth;
the young women of Jerusalem

    (H)because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
(I)because infants and babies (J)faint
    in the streets of the city.

    in the streets of the city,
as their life is poured out
    on their mothers' bosom.
