Lamentations

Lamentations 1:15–16

¹⁵The Lord has rejected

all the mighty men in my midst;

He has summoned an army against me^d

to crush my young warriors.

Like grapes in a winepress,

the Lord has trampled the Virgin Daughter of Judah.

¹⁶For these things I weep;

my eyes flow with tears.

For there is no one nearby to comfort me,

no one to revive my soul.

My children are destitute

because the enemy has prevailed.
