Lamentations 2:13-15
Complete Jewish Bible
13 What can be said to you, what can be compared with you,
daughter of Yerushalayim?
What example can I give to comfort you,
virgin daughter of Tziyon?
For your downfall is as vast as the sea;
who can heal you?
14 The visions your prophets saw for you
were futile, just a whitewash.
They did not expose your guilt,
so as to reverse your fortunes —
no, the visions they saw for you
were alluring, but futile.
15 All who pass your way
clap their hands at you,
hissing and shaking their heads
at the daughter of Yerushalayim:
“This city was called ‘perfection in beauty’?
‘the joy of the whole earth’?”
Lamentations 2:13-15
New International Version
13 What can I say for you?(A)
With what can I compare you,
Daughter(B) Jerusalem?
To what can I liken you,
that I may comfort you,
Virgin Daughter Zion?(C)
Your wound is as deep as the sea.(D)
Who can heal you?
