Lamentations 1:15-17
King James Version
15 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.
16 For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
17 Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.

Lamentations 1:15-17
English Standard Version
15 “The Lord rejected
all my mighty men in my midst;
he summoned an assembly against me
to crush my young men;
(A)the Lord has trodden as in a winepress
the virgin daughter of Judah.
16 “For these things (B)I weep;
my eyes flow with tears;
for (C)a comforter is far from me,
one to (D)revive my spirit;
my children are desolate,
for the enemy has prevailed.”
17 (E)Zion stretches out her hands,
but (F)there is none to comfort her;
the Lord has commanded against Jacob
that his neighbors should be his foes;
Jerusalem has become
a filthy thing among them.
