My eye, amy eye overflows with water;
Because the comforter, who should restore my life,
Is far from me.
My children are desolate
Because the enemy prevailed.”
But no one comforts her;
The Lord has commanded concerning Jacob
That those baround him become his adversaries;
Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
For I brebelled against His commandment.
Hear now, all peoples,
And behold my sorrow;
My virgins and my young men
Have gone into captivity.
But they deceived me;
My priests and my elders
Breathed their last in the city,
While they sought food
To restore their life.
My asoul is troubled;
My heart is overturned within me,
For I have been very rebellious.
bOutside the sword bereaves,
At home it is like death.
But no one comforts me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
They are aglad that You have done it.
Bring on bthe day You have announced,
That they may become like me.
And do to them as You have done to me
For all my transgressions;
For my sighs are many,
And my heart is faint.”
