Lamentations 2:13-15
International Children’s Bible
13 What can I say about you, Jerusalem?
What can I compare you to?
What can I say you are like?
How can I comfort you, Jerusalem?
Your ruin is as big as the sea.
No one can heal you.
14 Your prophets saw visions about you.
But they were false and worth nothing.
They did not expose your sins.
They did not keep you from being captured.
The messages they preached to you were false.
They fooled you.
15 All who pass by on the road
clap their hands at you.
They make fun and shake their heads
at Jerusalem.
They ask, “Is this the city that people called
the most beautiful city,
the happiest city on 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?
