Lamentations 1:16

or encourage me.

My children are desolated

because an enemy has prevailed.

3:50 until the Lord looks down from heaven

and sees what has happened.

3:51 What my eyes see grieves me –

all the suffering of the daughters in my city.

because no one travels to the festivals.

I have lost my strength.

I coo like a dove;

O sovereign master, I am oppressed;

help me!
