“‘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)
18 If I go into the country,
    I see those slain by the sword;
if I go into the city,
    I see the ravages of famine.^(D)
Both prophet and priest
    have gone to a land they know not.^(E)’”

¹⁹ Have you rejected Judah completely?^(F)
    Do you despise Zion?
Why have you afflicted us
    so that we cannot be healed?^(G)
We hoped for peace
    but no good has come,
for a time of healing
    but there is only terror.^(H)
