Lamentations 2:9-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
ט Tet
9 Zion’s gates have fallen to the ground;(A)
He has destroyed and shattered the bars on her gates.
Her king and her leaders live among the nations,
instruction[a] is no more,
and even her prophets receive
no vision from the Lord.(B)
י Yod
10 The elders of Daughter Zion
sit on the ground in silence.
They have thrown dust on their heads(C)
and put on sackcloth.
The young women of Jerusalem
have bowed their heads to the ground.(D)
כ Kaf
11 My eyes are worn out from weeping;(E)
I am churning within.
My heart is poured out in grief[b](F)
because of the destruction of my dear people,(G)
because children and infants faint
in the streets of the city.(H)
