• Lamentations 2:11, 12
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 11 My eyes are worn out from shedding tears.+

      My insides* are churning.

      My liver has been poured out on the ground, because of the downfall of the daughter of* my people,+

      Because of the children and infants fainting away in the public squares of the town.+

      ל [Lamed]

      12 They keep asking their mothers, “Where are grain and wine?”+

      As they faint away like someone wounded in the public squares of the city,

      As their life* ebbs away in their mothers’ arms.
