Therefore He has caused the rampart and wall to lament;
They languished together.

11 aMy1 eyes fail with tears,
My1 heart is troubled;

Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
Because cthe children and the infants
Faint in the streets of the city.
My1 heart is troubled;
bMy bile is poured on the ground
Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
Because cthe children and the infants
Faint in the streets of the city.
12 They say to their mothers,
“Where is grain and wine?”
As they swoon like the wounded
In the streets of the city,
As their life is poured out
In their mothers’ bosom.
“Where is grain and wine?”
As they swoon like the wounded
In the streets of the city,
As their life is poured out
In their mothers’ bosom.
