Lamentations 2:10 in Context — Lamentations 2
8 O SENHOR determinou destruir o muro da filha de Sião; estendeu o cordel, não deteve sua mão de destruir; tornou em lamento o antemuro e o muro; juntamente foram destruídos.
9 Suas portas foram lançadas por terra, destruiu e quebrou seus ferrolhos; sua rei e seus príncipes estão entre as nações onde não há a Lei; nem seus profetas acham visão alguma do SENHOR.
10 Sentados na terra [e] calados estão os anciãos da filha de Sião; lançaram pó sobre suas cabeças, vestiram-se de saco; as virgens de Jerusalém baixaram suas cabeças à terra.
11 Meus olhos se consumiram de lágrimas, atormentam-se minhas entranhas; meu fígado se derramou por terra por causa do quebrantamento da filha de meu povo, porque crianças e bebês de mama desfalecem pelas ruas da cidade.
12 Eles dizem às suas mães: Onde está o trigo e o vinho?, enquanto desfalecem como feridos pelas ruas da cidade, derramando suas almas no colo de suas mães.
