Jeremiah 4:31

31For I heard aa cry as of a woman in labor,
anguish as of one giving birth to her first child,
the cry of the daughter of Zion gasping for breath,
bstretching out her hands,
Woe is me! I am fainting before murderers.”

Lamentations 1:4

4 The roads to Zion mourn,
for none come to cthe festival;
dall her gates are desolate;
her priests egroan;
her virgins have been afflicted,
Septuagint, Old Latin dragged away

and she herself suffers bitterly.

Lamentations 1:11

11 All her people ggroan
as hthey search for bread;
they trade their itreasures for jfood
to revive their strength.
Look, O Lord, and see,
for I am despised.”

Lamentations 1:21-22

21 “They heard
Septuagint, Syriac Hear
lmy groaning,
yet mthere is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
nthey are glad that you have done it.
You have brought
Syriac Bring
the day you announced;
pnow let them be as I am.
22 q“Let all their evildoing come before you,
and deal with them
as ryou have dealt with me
because of all my transgressions;
for smy groans are many,
and tmy heart is faint.”

Lamentations 2:10

10 The elders of the daughter of Zion
usit on the ground vin silence;
wthey have thrown dust on their heads
and xput on sackcloth;
the young women of Jerusalem
have bowed their heads to the ground.
