Lamentations 1:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

²¹ They have heard that I mourn. There is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble and are glad that You have done it. You will bring the day that You have pronounced; and they shall be like me.
