OET (OET-RV) Take notice because I’m groaning.
⇔ There’s no comforter for me.
⇔ All my enemies heard my trouble—they rejoiced that you did it.
⇔ You brought about the day of punishment that you declared,
⇔ yet may those persecutors become like me.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
אֵ֤ין מְנַחֵם֙ לִ֔י
not comfort to=me
Jerusalem is not referring to a specific comforter. She means, in a general sense, someone who is willing or able to comfort her. See how you translated the same word in [verse16](../01/16.md). Alternate translation: [there is no one able to comfort me] or [there is no one willing to comfort me]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
רָֽעָתִי֙
distress_of,my
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of calamity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the tragic events that we have experienced]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p
וְיִֽהְי֥וּ כָמֽוֹנִי
and,let_them_be like,me
When Jerusalem says and let them be like me, she is saying what she wants God to do. Alternate translation: [and I desire that our enemies will suffer as we have] or [and God, you should require our enemies to experience the same]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
