Lamentations 1:19-21

New American Standard Bible

¹⁹ I ^(A)called to my lovers, but they deserted me;
My ^(B)priests and my elders perished in the city
While they sought food to ^(C)restore their ^[a]strength themselves.
²⁰ See, Lord, for I am in distress;
My ^[b](D)spirit is greatly troubled;
My heart is overturned within me,
For I have been very ^(E)rebellious.
In the street the sword has made women childless;
In the house it is like death.
²¹ They have heard that I ^(F)groan;
There is no one to comfort me,
All my enemies have heard of my disaster;
They are ^(G)joyful that You have done it.
Oh, that You would bring the day which You have proclaimed,
So that they will become ^(H)like me.
