Lamentations 2:12-14
Jubilee Bible 2000

Lamed

12 They said to their mothers, Where is the wheat and the wine? fainting as the dead in the streets of the city, pouring out their souls into their mothers’ bosom.

Mem

13 What witness shall I take to thee? Or unto whom shall I liken thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? Unto whom shall I compare thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is as great as the sea: who shall heal thee?

Nun

14 Thy prophets have preached vanity and foolishness unto thee; and they have not uncovered thine iniquity to turn away thy captivity but have preached unto thee vain prophecies and digressions.

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)

13 What can I say for you?(D)
    With what can I compare you,
    Daughter(E) Jerusalem?
To what can I liken you,
    that I may comfort you,
    Virgin Daughter Zion?(F)
Your wound is as deep as the sea.(G)
    Who can heal you?

14 The visions of your prophets
    were false(H) and worthless;
they did not expose your sin
    to ward off your captivity.(I)
The prophecies they gave you
    were false and misleading.(J)
