^11 (A)My eyes are spent with weeping;
    ^(B)my stomach churns;
^(C)my bile is poured out to the ground
    ^(D)because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
^(E)because infants and babies ^(F)faint
    in the streets of the city.

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!

¹⁹ “Arise, ^(F)cry out in the night,
    at the beginning of the night watches!
^(G)Pour out your heart like water
    before the presence of the Lord!
^(H)Lift your hands to him
    for the lives of your children,
^(I)who faint for hunger
    at the head of every street.”
