Lamentations 2:13
New King James Version
13 How shall I (A)console[a] you?

O virgin daughter of Zion?

Who can heal you?

Lamentations 1:16-19
New King James Version
16 “For these things I weep;
My eye, (A)my eye overflows with water;
Because the comforter, who should restore my life,
Is far from me.
My children are desolate
Because the enemy prevailed.”
17 (B)Zion [a]spreads out her hands,
But no one comforts her;
The Lord has commanded concerning Jacob
That those (C)around him become his adversaries;
Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
18 “The Lord is (D)righteous,
For I (E)rebelled against His [b]commandment.
Hear now, all peoples,
And behold my sorrow;
My virgins and my young men
Have gone into captivity.
19 “I called for my lovers,
But they deceived me;
My priests and my elders
Breathed their last in the city,
While they sought food
To restore their life.
