Lamentations 1:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 The Lord is righteous: for I have rebelled against his [a]commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
19 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my Priests and mine Elders perished in the city, while they [b]sought their meat to refresh their souls.
20 Behold, O Lord, how I am troubled: my bowels swell: mine heart is turned within me, for I am full of heaviness: the sword spoileth abroad, as death doeth at home.
