Lamentations 1:16-17
I weep because of these things; my eyes flow with tears. For there is no one nearby to comfort me, no one to keep me alive.

Jeremiah 10:19-22
Woe to me because of my brokenness— I am severely wounded! I exclaimed,“ This is my intense suffering, but I must bear it.”My tent is destroyed; all my tent cords are snapped. My sons have departed from me and are no more. I have no one to pitch my tent again or to hang up my curtains.For the shepherds are stupid: they don’t seek the Lord. Therefore they have not prospered, and their whole flock is scattered.Listen! A noise— it is coming— a great commotion from the land to the north. The cities of Judah will be made desolate, a jackals’ den.
