Lamentations 2:11 in Context — Lamentations 2
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.
13 ¿Qué testigo te traeré, ó á quién te haré semejante, hija de Jerusalem? ¿A quién te compararé para consolarte, oh virgen hija de Sión? Porque grande es tu quebrantamiento como la mar: ¿quién te medicinará?
