Lamentations 2:10-12
Christian Standard Bible
י Yod
10 The elders of Daughter Zion
sit on the ground in silence.
They have thrown dust on their heads(A)
and put on sackcloth.
The young women of Jerusalem
have bowed their heads to the ground.(B)
כ Kaph
11 My eyes are worn out from weeping;(C)
I am churning within.
My heart is poured out in grief[a](D)
because of the destruction of my dear people,(E)
because infants and nursing babies faint
in the streets of the city.(F)
ל Lamed
12 They cry out to their mothers,
“Where is the grain and wine?” (G)
as they faint like the wounded
in the streets of the city,
as their life pours out
in the arms of their mothers.
