Lamentations 2:13-15 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

13. O Jerusalem, beloved Jerusalem, what can I say?How can I comfort you? No one has ever suffered like this.Your disaster is boundless as the ocean; there is no possible hope.

14. Your prophets had nothing to tell you but lies;Their preaching deceived you by never exposing your sin.They made you think you did not need to repent.

15. People passing by the city look at you in scorn.They shake their heads and laugh at the ruins of Jerusalem.“Is this that lovely city? Is this the pride of the world?”
