Lamentations 2:13
Nini naeza kusema kwako, binti wa Yerusalemu? Naweza kufananisha na nini, ili ni kufariji, binti bikra wa Sayuni? Jera lako ni kubwa kama bahari. Nani anaweza kukuponya?

In context
10 Wazee wa binti wa Sayuni wameketi chini na ukimya. Wamerusha vumbi kichwani mwao na kuvaa magunia. Mabikra wa Yerusalemu wameinamisha vichwa vyao chini.
11 Macho yangu yamekaukiwa machozi yake; tumbo langu la nguruma; sehemu zangu za ndani zimemwagika chini kwasababu ya uharibifu wa binti wa watu wangu, watoto na wachanga wamezimia mitaani mwa mji.
12 Wanasema kwa mama zao, “Mbegu ziko wapi na mvinyo?” kama wanavyo zimia kama mtu aliye jeruhiwa mitaani mwa mji, maisha yao yamemwaga kwenye kifua cha mama zao.
13 Nini naeza kusema kwako, binti wa Yerusalemu? Naweza kufananisha na nini, ili ni kufariji, binti bikra wa Sayuni? Jera lako ni kubwa kama bahari. Nani anaweza kukuponya?
14 Manabii wako wameona uongo na maono batili kwa ajili yako. Hawaja weka wazi dhambi zako kurejesha mali zako, lakini kwako wametoa matamko ya uongo na ya kupotosha.
15 Wote wanao pita pembeni mwa barabara wana piga makofi kwako. Wanaguna na kutikisa vichwa vyao dhidi ya binti wa Yerusalemu na kusema, “Huu ndio mji walio uita 'Ukamilifu wa uzuri,' 'Furaha ya Dunia Yote'?”
16 Maadui zako wote walifungua vinywa vyao na kukudhihaki. Walizomea na kusaga meno na kusema, “Tumemmeza yeye! Hii ni siku tulio subiri! Tumeishi kuweza kuiona!”
