Lamentations 2:11-12

Christian Standard Bible

¹¹ My eyes are worn out from weeping;^(A)
I am churning within.
My heart is poured out in grief^[a](B)
because of the destruction of my dear people,^(C)
because infants and nursing babies faint
in the streets of the city.^(D)

¹² They cry out to their mothers,
“Where is the grain and wine?” ^(E)
as they faint like the wounded
in the streets of the city,
as their life pours out
in the arms of their mothers.
