Verse 13

What thing shall I take to witness{H5749}{(H8686)}{(H8675)}{H5749}{(H8799)} for thee? what thing{H4100} shall I liken{H1819}{(H8762)} to thee, O daughter{H1323} of Jerusalem{H3389}? what shall I equal{H7737}{(H8686)} to thee, that I may comfort{H5162}{(H8762)} thee, O virgin{H1330} daughter{H1323} of Zion{H6726}? for thy breach{H7667} is great{H1419} like the sea{H3220}: who can heal{H7495}{(H8799)} thee?
