<br>What shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, <br>O virgin daughter of Zion? <br>For thy breach is great like the sea: <br>who can heal thee? </div><div style="margin:10px 0">14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee:<br>and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; <br>but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">15 All that pass by clap their hands at thee;<br>they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, <br>Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? </div><div style="margin:10px 0">16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee:<br>they hiss and gnash the teeth: <br>they say, We have swallowed her up: <br>certainly this is the day that we looked for; <br>we have found, we have seen it. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">17 The LORD hath done that which he had devised;<br>he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: <br>he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: <br>and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, <br>he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">18 Their heart cried unto the Lord,<br>O wall of the daughter of Zion, <br>let tears run down like a river day and night: <br>give thyself no rest; <br>let not the apple of thine eye cease. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">19 Arise, cry out in the night:<br>in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: <br>lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, <br>that faint for hunger in the top of every street. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">20 Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this.<br>Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? <br>Shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? </div><div style="margin:10px 0">21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets:<br>my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; <br>thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; <br>thou hast killed, and not pitied. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about,<br>so that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor remained: <br>those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Prophet+Jeremiah">Prophet Jeremiah</a><div class=q>
