^(A)‘Let my eyes flow with tears night and day,
And let them not cease;
^(B)For the virgin daughter of my people
Has been broken with a mighty stroke, with a very severe blow.

¹⁶ “For these things I weep;
My eye, ^(A)my eye overflows with water;
Because the comforter, who should restore my life,
Is far from me.
My children are desolate
Because the enemy prevailed.”
