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.

12  “For thus says the Lord:

Your hurt is ^jincurable,

and ^kyour wound is grievous.

19  There is no easing your hurt;

ⁿyour wound is grievous.

All who hear the news about you

^oclap their hands over you.

For upon whom has not come

your unceasing evil?
