‘She, ^(A)the virgin daughter of Zion, has shown contempt for you and mocked you;
She, the daughter of Jerusalem, ^(B)has shaken her head behind you!

“She has shown contempt for you and derided you,
The ^(A)virgin ^(B)daughter of Zion;
The daughter of Jerusalem has ^(C)shaken her head behind you!

¹³ How shall I admonish you?
What ^(A)shall I compare to you,
Daughter of Jerusalem?
What shall I liken to you as I comfort you,
^(B)Virgin daughter of Zion?
For your collapse is as vast as the sea;
Who can ^(C)heal you?

¹⁵ All who pass along the way
^(A)Clap their hands in ridicule at you;
They ^(B)[a]hiss and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city of which they said,
‘^(C)Perfect in beauty,
^(D)A joy to all the earth’?”
