“Virgin Daughter^(A) Zion^(B)
    despises and mocks you.
Daughter Jerusalem
    tosses her head^(C) as you flee.

⁴ I also could speak like you,
    if you were in my place;
I could make fine speeches against you
    and shake my head^(A) at you.

¹⁴ Sing, Daughter Zion;^(A)
    shout aloud,^(B) Israel!
Be glad and rejoice^(C) with all your heart,
    Daughter Jerusalem!

¹³ What can I say for you?^(A)
    With what can I compare you,
    Daughter^(B) Jerusalem?
To what can I liken you,
    that I may comfort you,
    Virgin Daughter Zion?^(C)
Your wound is as deep as the sea.^(D)
    Who can heal you?

“‘Let my eyes overflow with tears^(A)
    night and day without ceasing;
for the Virgin^(B) Daughter, my people,
    has suffered a grievous wound,
    a crushing blow.^(C)

⁸ Daughter Zion^(A) is left^(B)
    like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut^(C) in a cucumber field,
    like a city under siege.

¹⁴ that I may declare your praises^(A)
    in the gates of Daughter Zion,^(B)
    and there rejoice in your salvation.^(C)
