ע Ayin

my eyes flow[a] with tears.(A)
For there is no one nearby to comfort me,(B)
no one to keep me alive.
My children are desolate
because the enemy has prevailed.

there is no one to comfort her.

that his neighbors should be his adversaries.
Jerusalem has become
something impure(C) among them.

for I have rebelled against his command.(D)
Listen, all you people;
look at my pain.
My young women and young men
have gone into captivity.(E)
