Lamentations 1:15-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁵ “The ^(A)Lord has rejected all my strong men
In my midst;
He has called an appointed ^[a]time against me
To crush my ^(B)young men;
The Lord has ^(C)trodden as in a wine press
The virgin daughter of Judah.
¹⁶ “For these things I ^(D)weep;
^[b]My eyes run down with water;
Because far from me is a ^(E)comforter,
One who restores my soul.
My children are desolate
Because the enemy has prevailed.”
¹⁷ Zion ^(F)stretches out her hands;
There is no one to comfort her;
The Lord has ^(G)commanded concerning Jacob
That the ones round about him should be his adversaries;
^(H)Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
