My people are crushed, so I am crushed. I mourn, and I am filled with horror.

“ The Lord has refused to accept any of my soldiers. He has sent for an army to crush my young men. I am like grapes in the Lord’s winepress.

My children don’t have anything. My enemies are much too strong for me.”

City of Jerusalem, what can I say about you? What can I compare you to? People of Zion, what are you like? I want to comfort you. Your wound is as deep as the ocean. Who can heal you?

People in the city of Zion, cry out from your heart to the Lord. Let your tears flow like a river day and night. Don’t stop at all. Don’t give your eyes any rest.

So I have begun to strike you down. I have begun to destroy you because you have sinned so much.

Streams of tears flow from my eyes, because people don’t obey your law. Tsadhe

So here is the message the Lord has spoken against him. The Lord is telling him,“‘ “You will not win the battle over Zion. Its people hate you and make fun of you. The people of Jerusalem lift up their heads proudly as you run away.

How terrible it will be for me! I’ve been wounded! And my wound can’t be healed! In spite of that, I said to myself,“ I’m sick. But I’ll have to put up with it.”

Streams of tears flow from my eyes. That’s because my people are destroyed.Tears will never stop flowing from my eyes. My eyes can’t get any rest.

Lord, my heart is weak inside me. You comfort me when I’m sad.

“ The people of Israel have fallen. They will never get up again. They are deserted in their own land. No one can lift them up.”

Lord God, you rule over all. How long will you be angry? Will you be angry with your people even when they pray to you?You have given us tears as our food. You have made us drink tears by the bowlful.

All those who were going to help you have forgotten you. They do not care about you. I have struck you as if I were your enemy. I have punished you as if I were very mean. That is because your guilt is so great. You have sinned so much.Why do you cry out about your wound? Your pain can’t be healed. Your guilt is very great. And you have committed many sins. That is why I have done all these things to you.

Please stop beating me. I’m about to die from the blows of your hand.
