**Lamentations 2:13** — *"For your wound is as deep as the sea. Who can ever heal you?"*
Jeremiah does not offer Jerusalem a quick comfort. He sits in the ash and admits the wound is immeasurable — *as deep as the sea.* That is not poetic exaggeration. That is a shepherd refusing to minimize what is real.
There are griefs that cannot be managed, reframed, or resolved by morning. Covenant love does not pretend otherwise. What Jeremiah models here is sacred solidarity — the willingness to dwell inside someone's devastation without rushing toward resolution.
Yet the very question *"Who can ever heal you?"* points beyond human capacity toward the One whose mercy is described in Psalm 147:3 — *"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."*
The sea has a Maker. So does your wound.
Walk with that truth today — not as an answer that erases pain, but as an anchor that holds beneath it.
