Lamentations 1:18-20

New King James Version

¹⁸ “The Lord is ^(A)righteous,
For I ^(B)rebelled against His ^[a]commandment.
Hear now, all peoples,
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
Breathed their last in the city,
While they sought food
To restore their life.

²⁰ “See, O Lord, that I am in distress;
My ^(C)soul^[b] is troubled;
My heart is overturned within me,
For I have been very rebellious.
^(D)Outside the sword bereaves,
At home it is like death.
