כ Kaph
11 My aeyes fail because of tears;
My binmost being is greatly disturbed;
My cheart is poured out on the earth
dBecause of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
When einfants and nursing babies faint
In the open squares of the city.
ל Lamedh
12 They say to their mothers,
“aWhere is grain and wine?”
As they faint like a wounded man
In the open squares of the city,
As their blife is poured out
On their mothers’ bosom.
מ Mem
13 What shall I testify about you?
To what ashall I equate you,
O daughter of Jerusalem?
To what shall I liken you as I comfort you,
O bvirgin daughter of Zion?
For your destruction is as vast as the sea;
Who can cheal you?
