19 These double calamities have come upon you—

who can comfort you?—

ruin and destruction, famine and sword—

who can console you?

like antelope caught in a net.

with the rebuke of your God.

who will console you?—

devastation and destruction, famine and sword;

who will comfort you?

they lie at the head of every street

like an antelope in a net;

they are full of the wrath of the Lord,

the rebuke of your God.

Desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword:

By whom shall I comfort thee?

The Lord has poured out his fury;

God has rebuked them.

like animals caught in a net.
