Lamentations 2:13-15
Christian Standard Bible
מ Mem
13 What can I say on your behalf?
What can I compare you to, Daughter Jerusalem?
What can I liken you to,
so that I may console you, Virgin Daughter Zion?
For your ruin is as vast as the sea.
Who can heal you?(A)
נ Nun
14 Your prophets saw visions for you
that were empty and deceptive;[a](B)
they did not reveal your iniquity
and so restore your fortunes.(C)
They saw pronouncements for you
that were empty and misleading.
ס Samek
15 All who pass by
scornfully clap their hands(D) at you.
They hiss(E) and shake their heads(F)
at Daughter Jerusalem:
Is this the city that was called
the perfection of beauty,(G)
the joy of the whole earth?(H)
