Lamentations 1:12
“In other women there is pain of the body, in her there is pain of the heart; in others there is pain of corruption, in her there is pain of compassion and charity. Whence she invites us to consider her sorrow, in Jeremiah: "All you," she says, "who pass by the way, attend and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow.…”

12All ye that pass by the way, Turn, and see if there is sorrow like to my sorrow, Which has happened to me. The Lord who spoke by me Has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.

10The oppressor has stretched out his hand On all her desirable things: For she has seen the Gentiles Entering into her sanctuary, Concerning whom thou didst command That they should not enter into thy congregation.
11All her people groan, Seeking bread: They have given their desirable things for meat, To restore their soul: Behold, Lord, and look; For she is become dishonored.
— Lamentations 1:12 —
13He has sent fire from his lofty habitation, He has brought it into my bones: He has spread a net for my feet, He has turned me back: He has made me desolate And mourning all the day.
14He has watched over my sins, They are twined about my hands, They have come up on my neck: My strength has failed; For the Lord has laid pains on my hands, I shall not be able to stand.
