9
For when she saw the wrath of God coming upon you, she said, "Hearken, O ye that dwell about Zion: God hath brought upon me great mourning;
10
for I saw the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting brought upon them.
11
With joy did I nourish them, but sent them away with weeping and mourning.
12
Let no man rejoice over me, a widow and forsaken by many, who for the sins of my children am left desolate, because they departed from the law of God.
13
They knew not His statutes, nor walked in the ways of His commandments, nor trod in the paths of discipline in His righteousness.
