4  Therefore I said:

“Look away from me;

let me weep bitter tears;

do not labor to comfort me

^cconcerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

21  ^dFor the wound of the daughter of my people is my heart wounded;

I mourn, and dismay has taken hold on me.

1  ¹ Oh that my head were waters,

and my eyes a fountain of ^ftears,

that I might weep day and night

for the slain of the daughter of my people!

17  “You shall say to them this word:

‘Let my eyes run down with ^dtears night and day,

and let them not cease,

for the virgin daughter of my people is shattered with a great wound,

with a very grievous blow.

48  my eyes flow with rivers of tears

^cbecause of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
