47 We have been frightened and fearful,ruined and destroyed.”
48 Streams of tears flow from my eyes,because my people are destroyed.
49 My tears flow continually,without stopping,
50 until the Lord looks downand sees from heaven.
51 I am sad when I seewhat has happened to all the women of my city.
52 Those who are my enemies for no reasonhunted me like a bird.
53 They tried to kill me in a pit;they threw stones at me.
