Lamentations 2:11 in Context — Lamentations 2
9 Ses portes sont enfoncées dans la terre; Il en a détruit, rompu les barres. Son roi et ses chefs sont parmi les nations; il n’y a plus de loi. Même les prophètes ne reçoivent aucune vision de l’Éternel.
10 Les anciens de la fille de Sion sont assis à terre, ils sont muets; Ils ont couvert leur tête de poussière, Ils se sont revêtus de sacs; Les vierges de Jérusalem laissent retomber leur tête vers la terre.
11 Mes yeux se consument dans les larmes, mes entrailles bouillonnent, Ma bile se répand sur la terre, A cause du désastre de la fille de mon peuple, Des enfants et des nourrissons en défaillance dans les rues de la ville.
12 Ils disaient à leurs mères: Où y a-t-il du blé et du vin? Et ils tombaient comme des blessés dans les rues de la ville, Ils rendaient l’âme sur le sein de leurs mères.
13 Que dois-je te dire? À quoi te comparer, fille de Jérusalem? Qui trouver de semblable à toi, et quelle consolation te donner, Vierge, fille de Sion? Car ta plaie est grande comme la mer: Qui pourra te guérir?
