Lamentations 2:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 The Elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads: they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Mine eyes do fail with tears: my bowels swell: my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the children and sucklings [a]swoon in the streets of the city.
12 They have said to their mothers, Where is [b]bread and drink? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, and when they [c]gave up the ghost in their mother’s bosom.
