even Zion is a wasteland, Jerusalem a desolation.(H)
11 Our holy and glorious temple,(I) where our ancestors praised you,
has been burned with fire,

Will you keep silent(L) and punish us beyond measure?

and harden our hearts(E) so we do not revere(F) you?
Return(G) for the sake of your servants,
the tribes that are your inheritance.(H)
18 For a little while(I) your people possessed your holy place,

but you have not ruled over them,
they have not been called[a] by your name.(L)

It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities.(B) 56 The most gentle and sensitive(C) woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter(D) 57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat them(E) secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.
