13. യെരൂശലേംപുത്രിയേ, ഞാന് നിന്നോടു എന്തു സാക്ഷീകരിക്കേണ്ടു? എന്തൊന്നിനെ നിന്നോടു സദൃശമാക്കേണ്ടു? സീയോന് പുത്രിയായ കന്യകേ, ഞാന് നിന്നെ ആശ്വസിപ്പിപ്പാന് എന്തൊന്നു നിന്നോടുപമിക്കേണ്ടു? നിന്റെ മുറിവു സമുദ്രംപോലെ വലുതായിരിക്കുന്നു; ആര് നിനക്കു സൌഖ്യം വരുത്തും?
13. యెరూషలేము కుమారీ, ఎట్టిమాటలచేత నిన్ను హెచ్చరించుదును? దేనితో నిన్ను సాటిచేయుదును? సీయోను కుమారీ, కన్యకా, నిన్ను ఓదార్చుటకు దేనితో నిన్ను పోల్చుదును? నీకు కలిగిన నాశనము సముద్రమంత గొప్పది నిన్ను స్వస్థపరచగలవాడెవడు?
