Lamentations 2:9-11

World English Bible

⁹ Her gates have sunk into the ground.
    He has destroyed and broken her bars.
Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not.
    Yes, her prophets find no vision from Yahweh.

¹⁰ The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground.
    They keep silence.
They have cast up dust on their heads.
    They have clothed themselves with sackcloth.
    The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

¹¹ My eyes fail with tears.
    My heart is troubled.
My liver is poured on the earth,
    because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
    because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.
