Lamentations 1:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 Zion stretcheth out her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath appointed the enemies of Jacob round about him: Jerusalem is [a]as a menstruous woman in the midst of them.
18 The Lord is righteous: for I have rebelled against his [b]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 [c]sought their meat to refresh their souls.
