Lamentations 2:18-22
New International Version
18 The hearts of the people
cry out to the Lord.(A)
You walls of Daughter Zion,(B)
let your tears(C) flow like a river
day and night;(D)
give yourself no relief,
your eyes no rest.(E)
19 Arise, cry out in the night,
as the watches of the night begin;
pour out your heart(F) like water
in the presence of the Lord.(G)
Lift up your hands(H) to him
for the lives of your children,
who faint(I) from hunger
at every street corner.
20 “Look, Lord, and consider:
Whom have you ever treated like this?
Should women eat their offspring,(J)
the children they have cared for?(K)
Should priest and prophet be killed(L)
in the sanctuary of the Lord?(M)
