You who are my Comforter in sorrow, my heart is faint within me.

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

My joy is gone; grief is upon me; my heart is sick within me.

My grief is beyond healing; my heart is broken.

My joy has flown away; grief has settled on me. My heart is sick.

My sorrow is beyond healing, My heart is faint within me!

I would comfort myself in sorrow; My heart is faint in me.

For this our heart is faint. For these things our eyes are dim.

“ For these things I weep. My eye, my eye runs down with water, because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me. My children are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed.”Zion spreads out her hands. There is no one to comfort her. Yahweh has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him should be his adversaries. Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.

Therefore I said,“ Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don’t labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me,“ My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain no strength.For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.”

When I say,‘ My bed will comfort me. My couch will ease my complaint;’then you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:

I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.

We have heard its report. Our hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, and pains as of a woman in labor.

Woe is me because of my injury! My wound is serious; but I said,“ Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.”My tent has been destroyed, and all my cords are broken. My children have gone away from me, and they are no more. There is no one to spread my tent any more, to set up my curtains.For the shepherds have become brutish, and have not inquired of Yahweh. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks have scattered.The voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.
