Lamentations 1:18-20

World English Bible

¹⁸ “Yahweh is righteous;
    for I have rebelled against his commandment.
Please hear all you peoples,
    and see 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 gave up the spirit in the city,
    while they sought food for themselves to refresh their souls.

²⁰ “Look, Yahweh; for I am in distress.
    My heart is troubled.
My heart turns over within me,
    for I have grievously rebelled.
Abroad, the sword bereaves.
    At home, it is like death.
