man which shall be made as grass; |

whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand
of all the sons that she hath brought up. |

be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword:
by whom shall I comfort thee? |

of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the

again: |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 51:23 |

afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and
thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over. |
