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.

¹³ What shall I testify about you?
To what ^(A)shall I equate you,
O daughter of Jerusalem?
To what shall I liken you as I comfort you,
O ^(B)virgin daughter of Zion?
For your ^[a]destruction is as vast as the sea;
Who can ^(C)heal you?
