“‘Let my eyes overflow with tears^(A)
    night and day without ceasing;
for the Virgin^(B) Daughter, my people,
    has suffered a grievous wound,
    a crushing blow.^(C)

“‘Your wound^(A) is incurable,
    your injury beyond healing.^(B)
13 There is no one to plead your cause,^(C)
    no remedy for your sore,
    no healing^(D) for you.
¹⁴ All your allies^(E) have forgotten you;
    they care nothing for you.
I have struck you as an enemy^(F) would
    and punished you as would the cruel,^(G)
because your guilt is so great
    and your sins^(H) so many.
¹⁵ Why do you cry out over your wound,
    your pain that has no cure?^(I)
Because of your great guilt and many sins
    I have done these things to you.^(J)

¹² “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?^(A)
    Look around and see.
Is any suffering like my suffering^(B)
    that was inflicted on me,
that the Lord brought on me
    in the day of his fierce anger?^(C)
