Lamentations 2:12 in Context — Lamentations 2
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.
13 Que testemunho te trarei, ou a quem te compararei, ó filha de Jerusalém? A quem te assemelharei para te consolar, ó virgem, filha de Sião? Pois teu quebrantamento é tão grande quanto o mar; quem te curará?
14 Teus profetas previram para ti futilidades e enganos; e não expuseram tua maldade para evitar teu cativeiro; em vez disso te predisseram profecias mentirosas e ilusórias.
