King James VersionSource notes
“Then left I the meditations wherein I was, and spake to her in anger, saying,”
Context
2Then we all overthrew the lights, and all my neighbours rose up to comfort me: so I took my rest unto the second day at night.
3And it came to pass, when they had all left off to comfort me, to the end I might be quiet; then rose I up by night and fled, and came hither into this field, as thou seest.
4And I do now purpose not to return into the city, but here to stay, and neither to eat nor drink, but continually to mourn and to fast until I die.
5Then left I the meditations wherein I was, and spake to her in anger, saying,
6Thou foolish woman above all other, seest thou not our mourning, and what happeneth unto us?
7How that Sion our mother is full of all heaviness, and much humbled, mourning very sore?
8And now, seeing we all mourn and are sad, for we are all in heaviness, art thou grieved for one son?
