Lamentations 2:10 in Context — Lamentations 2
8 Jehová determinó destruir el muro de la hija de Sión; extendió el cordel, no retrajo su mano de destruir: hizo pues, se lamentara el antemuro y el muro; fueron destruídos juntamente.
9 Sus puertas fueron echadas por tierra, destruyó y quebrantó sus cerrojos: su rey y sus príncipes están entre las gentes donde no hay ley; sus profetas tampoco hallaron visión de Jehová.
10 Sentáronse en tierra, callaron los ancianos de la hija de Sión; echaron polvo sobre sus cabezas, ciñéronse de saco; las vírgenes de Jerusalem bajaron sus cabezas á tierra.
11 Mis ojos desfallecieron de lágrimas, rugieron mis entrañas, mi hígado se derramó por tierra por el quebrantamiento de la hija de mi pueblo, cuando desfallecía el niño y el que mamaba, en las plazas de la ciudad.
12 Decían á sus madres: ¿Dónde está el trigo y el vino? Desfallecían como heridos en las calles de la ciudad, derramando sus almas en el regazo de sus madres.
