And the lowing of the cattle is not heard;
Both the birds of the sky and the beasts have fled; they are gone.

‘Let my eyes flow down with tears night and day,

With a sorely infected wound.

My eyes run down with water;

One who restores my soul.

Because the enemy has prevailed.”

Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.

“Have I not wept for the one whose life is hard?
Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
