Lamentations 2:9-11
Legacy Standard Bible

Teth

9 Her (A)gates have sunk into the ground;
He has destroyed and broken her bars.
Her king and her princes are among the nations;
The (B)law is no more.
Also, her prophets find
(C)No vision from Yahweh.

Yodh

10 The elders of the daughter of Zion
(D)Sit on the ground; they (E)are silent.
They have thrown (F)dust up on their heads;
They have girded themselves with (G)sackcloth.
The (H)virgins of Jerusalem
Have bowed their heads down to the ground.

Kaph

11 My (I)eyes fail because of tears;
My [a](J)inmost being is greatly disturbed;
My [b](K)heart is poured out on the earth
(L)Because of the [c]destruction of the daughter of my people,
When (M)infants and nursing babies faint
In the open squares of the city.

9 Her gates(A) have sunk into the ground;
    their bars(B) he has broken and destroyed.
Her king and her princes are exiled(C) among the nations,
    the law(D) is no more,
and her prophets(E) no longer find
    visions(F) from the Lord.

10 The elders of Daughter Zion
    sit on the ground in silence;(G)
they have sprinkled dust(H) on their heads(I)
    and put on sackcloth.(J)
The young women of Jerusalem
    have bowed their heads to the ground.(K)

11 My eyes fail from weeping,(L)
    I am in torment within(M);
my heart(N) is poured out(O) on the ground
    because my people are destroyed,(P)
because children and infants faint(Q)
    in the streets of the city.
