Lamentations 1:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ Zion stretches out her hands, and there is no one to comfort her. The LORD has appointed the enemies of Jacob all around him. Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman in the midst of them.

¹⁸ The LORD is righteous, for I have rebelled against His Commandment. Hear, please, all people, and behold my sorrow! My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.

¹⁹ I called for my lovers, but they deceived me. My priests and my elders perished in the city while they sought their food to refresh their souls.
