Lamentations 2:12-14
Authorized (King James) Version
12 They say to their mothers,
Where is corn and wine?
when they swooned as the wounded
in the streets of the city,
when their soul was poured out
into their mothers’ bosom.
13 What thing shall I take to witness for thee?
what thing shall I liken to thee,
O daughter of Jerusalem?
what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee,
O virgin daughter of Zion?
for thy breach is great like the sea:
who can heal thee?
14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee:
and they have not discovered thine iniquity,
to turn away thy captivity;
but have seen for thee false burdens
and causes of banishment.
Lamentations 2:12-14
New International Version
12 They say to their mothers,
“Where is bread and wine?”(A)
as they faint like the wounded
in the streets of the city,
as their lives ebb away(B)
in their mothers’ arms.(C)
