Lamentations 1:2; Lamentations 1:9; Lamentations 1:16-17; Lamentations 1:21; Lamentations 2:13 (New American Standard)

2 She weeps bitterly in the night And her tears are on her cheeks ; She has none to comfort her Among all her lovers. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; They have become her enemies. 9 Her uncleanness was in her skirts ; She did not consider her future. Therefore she has fallen astonishingly ; She has no comforter. "See, O LORD, my affliction, For the enemy has magnified himself!" 16 "For these things I weep ; My eyes run down with water ; Because far from me is a comforter, One who restores my soul. My children are desolate Because the enemy has prevailed." 17 Zion stretches out her hands ; There is no one to comfort her; The LORD has commanded concerning Jacob That the ones round about him should be his adversaries ; Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them. 21 "They have heard that I groan ; There is no one to comfort me; All my enemies have heard of my calamity ; They are glad that You have done it. Oh, that You would bring the day which You have proclaimed, That they may become like me. 13 How shall I admonish you? To what shall I compare you, O daughter of Jerusalem ? To what shall I liken you as I comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion ? For your ruin is as vast as the sea ; Who can heal you?
