Lamentations 1:18-22
Legacy Standard Bible
Tsadhe
18 “Yahweh is (A)righteous;
For I have (B)rebelled against His [a]command;
Hear now, all peoples,
And (C)behold my [b]pain;
(D)My virgins and my young men
Have gone into captivity.
Qoph
19 I (E)called to my lovers, but they deceived me;
My (F)priests and my elders breathed their last in the city
While they sought food for themselves in order to (G)restore their souls.
Resh
20 See, O Yahweh, for I am in distress;
My [c](H)inmost being is greatly disturbed;
My heart is overturned within me,
For I have been very (I)rebellious.
In the street the sword bereaves;
In the house it is like death.
Shin
21 They have heard that I (J)am sighing;
There is no one to comfort me;
All my enemies have heard of the [d]evil done to me;
They (K)rejoice that You have done it.
You have brought the day which You have proclaimed,
So that they will become (L)like me.
Tav
22 Let all their evil come before You;
And (M)deal severely with them as You have dealt severely with me
For all my transgressions;
For my groans are great and my heart is faint.”

Lamentations 1:18-22
Common English Bible
18 The Lord is right, because I disobeyed his word.
Listen, all you people; look at my suffering.
My young women and young men have gone away as prisoners.
19 I called to my lovers, but they deceived me.
My priests and my elders have perished in the city;
they were looking for food to survive.
20 Pay attention, Lord, for I am in trouble. My stomach is churning;
my heart is pounding inside me because I am so bitter.
In the streets the sword kills; in the house it is like death.
21 People heard that I was groaning, that I had no comforter.
All my enemies heard about my distress; they were thrilled that you had done this.
Bring the day you have announced so they become like me!
22 Let all their evil come before you.
Then injure them like you’ve injured me because of all my wrong acts;
my groans are many, my heart is sick.
