⁴ Therefore I say, “Turn your gaze away from me,
Let me ^(A)weep bitterly,
Do not insist on comforting me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

¹⁷ And you will say this word to them,
‘^(A)Let my eyes flow down with tears night and day,
And let them not cease,
For the virgin ^(B)daughter of my people has been shattered with a mighty shattering,
With a sorely ^(C)sick wound.
