Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be around him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.

Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?

The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children: they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
