My heart is breaking over the fate of all the women of Jerusalem.

因我本城的众民，我的眼，使我的心伤痛。

为我城中的百姓，我眼所见的使我心痛。

为我城中的百姓，我眼所见的使我心痛。

目睹城中妇女的遭遇，我痛苦不已。

因眼见我城中众民的遭遇，我的心很痛苦。

因我本城的眾民，我的眼，使我的心傷痛。

為我城中的百姓，我眼所見的使我心痛。

為我城中的百姓，我眼所見的使我心痛。

目睹城中婦女的遭遇，我痛苦不已。

因眼見我城中眾民的遭遇，我的心很痛苦。

我的眼使我傷痛，都因我本城眾民的緣故。

緣我邑中諸女、觸目而傷心兮、

邑民淪喪、我淚盈睫、至於患疾兮。

我為我邑之諸女、心傷目痛、心傷目痛或作我目之淚使我心傷

What I see brings grief to my soul because of all the women of my city.

What I see brings pain to my spirit. All the women of my city are mourning.

my eyes cause me grief at the fate of all the daughters of my city.

My eyes bring me grief because of the fate of all the women in my city.

My eyes bring pain to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city.

My eyes bring suffering to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city.

Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.

My eyes bring me grief because of the fate of all the women in my city.

Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.

What my eyes see grieves me– all the suffering of the daughters in my city.צ( Tsade)

My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.

“ See them lying in the streets— young and old, boys and girls, killed by the swords of the enemy. You have killed them in your anger, slaughtering them without mercy.

But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep.“ How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes.Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side.They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.”

When David and his men saw the ruins and realized what had happened to their families,they wept until they could weep no more.

For how can I return to my father if the boy is not with me? I couldn’t bear to see the anguish this would cause my father!”

If I go out into the fields, I see the bodies of people slaughtered by the enemy. If I walk the city streets, I see people who have died of starvation. The prophets and priests continue with their work, but they don’t know what they’re doing.”

My heart, my heart— I writhe in pain! My heart pounds within me! I cannot be still. For I have heard the blast of enemy trumpets and the roar of their battle cries.Waves of destruction roll over the land, until it lies in complete desolation. Suddenly my tents are destroyed; in a moment my shelters are crushed.How long must I see the battle flags and hear the trumpets of war?

“ The Lord is right,” Jerusalem says,“ for I rebelled against him. Listen, people everywhere; look upon my anguish and despair, for my sons and daughters have been taken captive to distant lands.

Our enemies rape the women in Jerusalem and the young girls in all the towns of Judah.

I will see to it that your enemies lay siege to the city until all the food is gone. Then those trapped inside will eat their own sons and daughters and friends. They will be driven to utter despair.’

So this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says about them:“ I will punish them! Their young men will die in battle, and their boys and girls will starve to death.

As for the people to whom they prophesy— their bodies will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and war. There will be no one left to bury them. Husbands, wives, sons, and daughters— all will be gone. For I will pour out their own wickedness on them.
