¹⁸ Their heart cried to the Lord.
    O ^(A)wall of the daughter of Zion,
^(B)let tears stream down like a torrent
    ^(C)day and night!
^(D)Give yourself no rest,
    ^(E)your eyes no respite!

^8 (A)The Lord determined to lay in ruins
    ^(B)the wall of the daughter of Zion;
^(C)he stretched out the measuring line;
    he did not restrain his hand from destroying;
^(D)he caused rampart and wall to lament;
    ^(E)they languished together.

¹⁶ “For these things ^(A)I weep;
    my eyes flow with tears;
for ^(B)a comforter is far from me,
    one to ^(C)revive my spirit;
my children are desolate,
    for the enemy has prevailed.”

^49 (B)“My eyes will flow without ceasing,
    without respite,

^14 (A)They do not cry to me from the heart,
    but ^(B)they wail upon their beds;
for grain and wine they gash themselves;
    they rebel against me.
