Lamentations 1:19-21

Tree of Life Version

¹⁹ I called to my lovers—
    they deceived me!
My kohanim and my elders
    perished in the city
when they sought food
    to keep themselves alive.
²⁰ Look, Adonai, for I am in distress!
    My stomach churns,
my heart pounds within me,
    for I have been very rebellious.
Outside, the sword bereaves,
    in the house it is like death.
²¹ They have heard me groaning.
    There is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies heard of my distress,
    They rejoice that You have done it.
May You bring about the day that You proclaimed,
    so they may become like me!
