Lamentations 1:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 Zion stretches out her hands,
with no one to comfort her;
The Lord has ordered against Jacob
his foes all around;
Jerusalem has become in their midst
a thing unclean.
18 “The Lord is in the right;
I had defied his command.
Listen, all you peoples,
and see my pain:
My young women and young men
have gone into captivity.(A)
19 I cried out to my lovers,
but they failed me.(B)
My priests and my elders
perished in the city;
How desperately they searched for food,
to save their lives!
Lamentations 1:17-19
New International Version
17 Zion stretches out her hands,(A)
but there is no one to comfort her.
The Lord has decreed for Jacob
that his neighbors become his foes;(B)
Jerusalem has become
an unclean(C) thing(D) among them.
