The hearts of the people cry out to the Lord.* O wall of the Daughter of Zion, let your tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief, and your eyes no rest.

Context

16Adui zako wote wanapanua vinywa vyao dhidi yako, wanadhihaki na kusaga meno yao na kusema, “Tumemmeza. Hii ndiyo siku tuliyoingojea, tumeishi na kuiona.” 17Bwana amefanya lile alilolipanga; ametimiza neno lake aliloliamuru siku za kale. Amekuangusha bila huruma, amewaacha adui wakusimange, ametukuza pembe ya adui yako. 18Mioyo ya watu inamlilia Bwana. Ee ukuta wa Binti Sayuni, machozi yako na yatiririke kama mto usiku na mchana; usijipe nafuu, macho yako yasipumzike. 19Inuka, lia usiku, zamu za usiku zianzapo; mimina moyo wako kama maji mbele za Bwana. Mwinulie yeye mikono yako kwa ajili ya maisha ya watoto wako, ambao wanazimia kwa njaa kwenye kila mwanzo wa barabara. 20“Tazama, Ee Bwana, ufikirie: Ni nani ambaye umepata kumtendea namna hii? Je, wanawake wakule wazao wao, watoto waliowalea? Je, kuhani na nabii auawe mahali patakatifu pa Bwana?
