Lamentations 2:13 in Context — Lamentations 2
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.
15 Todos os que passam pelo caminho, batem palmas [para zombar] de ti; assoviaram, e moveram suas cabeças por causa da filha de Jerusalém, dizendo: É esta a cidade que diziam ser a perfeita beleza, a alegria de toda a terra?
