Lamentations 1:16 MSG/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 16 "For all this I weep, weep buckets of tears, and not a soul within miles around cares for my soul. My children are wasted, my enemy got his way." | 16 "This is why I weep and my eyes overflow with tears. No one is near to comfort me, no one to restore my spirit. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed." |
