15 You, LORD, have turned back my warriors and crushed my young heroes. Judah was a woman untouched, but you let her be trampled like grapes in a wine pit.

16 Because of this, I mourn, and tears flood my eyes. No one is here to comfort or to encourage me; we have lost the war — my people are suffering.

17 [16] The Prophet Speaks: Zion reaches out her hands, but no one offers comfort. The LORD has turned the neighboring nations against Jacob’s descendants. Jerusalem is merely a filthy rag to her neighbors.
