Lamentations 2:11

כָּל֤וּ בַדְּמָעוֹת֙ עֵינַ֔י חֳמַרְמְר֖וּ מֵעַ֑י נִשְׁפַּ֤ךְ לָאָ֙רֶץ֙ כְּבֵדִ֔י עַל שֶׁ֙בֶר֙ בַּת עַמִּ֔י בְּהִתְעַטֵּ֥ף עוֹלֵ֛ל וְיוֹנֵ֖ק בִּרְחֹב֥וֹת קִרְיָֽה׃
kalv badmaʿvot ʿeynay ḥomarmrv meʿay nishpak laʾareṣ kbediy ʿal sheber bat ʿamiy bhitʿaṭef ʿvolel vyvoneq birḥobvot qiryah
King James Version (KJV)

Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.

Modern English

My eyes are spent with weeping; my stomach churns; my bile is poured out to the ground because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because infants and babies faint in the streets of the city.
