¹⁹ For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion:
    “How we are ruined!
    We are utterly shamed
because we have left the land,
    because they have cast down our dwellings.”^(A)

¹⁶ If any survivors escape,
    they shall be found on the mountains
    like doves of the valleys,
all of them moaning over their iniquity.^(A)
17 All hands shall grow feeble,
    all knees turn to water.^(B)
18 They shall put on sackcloth;
    horror shall cover them.
Shame shall be on all faces,
    baldness on all their heads.^(C)

¹⁰ Arise and go,
    for this is no place to rest,
because of uncleanness that destroys
    with a violent destruction.^(A)

⁴ On that day they shall take up a taunt song against you
    and wail with bitter lamentation
and say, “We are utterly ruined;
    the Lord^[a] alters the inheritance of my people;
how he removes it from me!
    Among our captors^[b] he parcels out our fields.”^(A)

⁸ For this I will lament and wail;
    I will go barefoot and naked;
I will make lamentation like the jackals
    and mourning like the ostriches.^(A)
9 For her wound^[a] is incurable.
    It has come to Judah;
it has reached to the gate of my people,
    to Jerusalem.^(B)

² Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
    our homes to aliens.^(A)
