Lamentations 2:12-14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
ל Lamed
12 They cry out to their mothers:
Where is the grain and wine?(A)
as they faint like the wounded
in the streets of the city,
as their lives fade away
in the arms of their mothers.
מ Mem
13 What can I say on your behalf?
What can I compare you to, Daughter Jerusalem?
What can I liken you to,
so that I may console you, Virgin Daughter Zion?
For your ruin is as vast as the sea.
Who can heal you?(B)
נ Nun
14 Your prophets saw visions for you
that were empty and deceptive;(C)
they did not reveal your guilt
and so restore your fortunes.(D)
They saw oracles for you
that were empty and misleading.
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)
