# who will grieve with you? ... Who will comfort you?
Isaiah uses questions to emphasize that now there is no one to weep with them or comfort them. These questions may be written as statements. AT: "but there is no one to grieve with you ... There is no one to comfort you." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# These two troubles
The two troubles refer to the following two phrases: "desolation and destruction" and "the famine and the sword."

These words have similar meanings and emphasize the destruction of the land caused by the opposing army. AT: "your enemies have left your city empty and ruined" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
