2  She weeps bitterly in the night,

with tears on her cheeks;

among all her ^blovers

she has none to comfort her;

all her friends have dealt treacherously with her;

they have become her enemies.

16  “For these things ⁿI weep;

my eyes flow with tears;

for a comforter is far from me,

one to revive my spirit;

my children are desolate,

for the enemy has prevailed.”

17  Zion ^ostretches out her hands,

but there is none to comfort her;

the Lord has commanded against Jacob

that his neighbors should be his foes;

Jerusalem has become

a filthy thing among them.
