Lamentations 1:18-20
Lexham English Bible
18 Yahweh is righteous;
I have rebelled against his word.[a]
Please hear, all the nations,
And see my pain;
My young women[b] and young men
went into captivity.
19 I have called to my lovers,
they themselves deceived me;
my priests and elders perished in the city
when they sought food for themselves
to revive their life.[c]
20 See, O Yahweh, that I am in distress;[d]
my stomach[e] is in torment,
my heart has turned inside me
because I have certainly rebelled.
From outside a sword brings bereavement,
inside the house it is like death.
