Lamentations 2:13

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

What can I even say to you? What comparison could possibly fit what you're going through, Jerusalem? What words could comfort you right now? Your pain is as vast and deep as the ocean itself — honestly, who could even begin to heal something this massive?

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes pain is so deep that words feel impossible, and that's okay.
