21 “They heard dmy groaning,
yet ethere is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
fthey are glad that you have done it.
You have brought the day you announced;
fnow let them be as I am.

my eyes flow with tears;
for a comforter is far from me,
one to revive my spirit;

for the enemy has prevailed.”

but there is none to comfort her;

that his neighbors should be his foes;
Jerusalem has become
a filthy thing among them.
