Lamentations 1:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

²⁰ Behold, O LORD, how I am troubled! My bowels swell! My heart is turned within me, for I am full of heaviness! The sword bereaves in the street, as death does at home.
