Lamentations 1:12

(12) Is it nothing to you . . .—Literally, Not to you, ye passers by, which the Authorised version takes as a question.

(do I say this).” The Authorised version, however, has most to commend it. What the mourning city felt most keenly was that her unparalleled sufferings were met with an unparalleled indifference.
