Lamentations 1:18-22
English Standard Version
18 (A)“The Lord is in the right,
(B)for I have rebelled against his word;
but hear, all you peoples,
and see my suffering;
(C)my young women and my young men
have gone into captivity.
19 “I called to (D)my lovers,
but they deceived me;
my priests and elders
perished in the city,
while (E)they sought food
to revive their strength.
20 “Look, O Lord, for I am in distress;
(F)my stomach churns;
my heart is wrung within me,
because I have been very rebellious.
(G)In the street the sword bereaves;
in the house it is like death.
21 “They heard[a] (H)my groaning,
yet (I)there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
(J)they are glad that you have done it.
You have brought[b] the day you announced;
(K)now let them be as I am.
22 (L)“Let all their evildoing come before you,
and deal with them
as (M)you have dealt with me
because of all my transgressions;
for (N)my groans are many,
and (O)my heart is faint.”

Lamentations 1:18-22
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.
21 They hear that I was groaning;
there is no comforter for me.
All my enemies have heard my misery,
they are pleased that you have done it.
Bring that day that you have proclaimed,[f]
And let them be like me.
22 Let all their evil come before you;
and deal with them
just as you have dealt with me
because of all my crimes;
for my groaning is much and my heart is faint.
