Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?\par\tab Behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is brought upon me,\par\tab Wherewith Jehovah hath afflicted {\i me} in the day of his fierce anger.
Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness:\par\tab And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;\par\tab And for comforters, but I found none.
I also could speak as ye do;\par\tab If your soul were in my soul's stead,\par\tab I could join words together against you,\par\tab And shake my head at you.
This is the word that Jehovah hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
