For (A)a nation has come up against my land,
    (B)powerful and beyond number;
(C)its teeth are lions' teeth,
    and it has the fangs of a lioness.
It has laid waste my vine
    and splintered my (D)fig tree;
it has stripped off their bark and thrown it down;
    their branches are made white.

Lament like a virgin[a] (E)wearing sackcloth
    for the bridegroom of her youth.
