Lamentations 1:18-22
New Living Translation
18 “The Lord is right,” Jerusalem says,
“for I rebelled against him.
Listen, people everywhere;
look upon my anguish and despair,
for my sons and daughters
have been taken captive to distant lands.
19 “I begged my allies for help,
but they betrayed me.
My priests and leaders
starved to death in the city,
even as they searched for food
to save their lives.
20 “Lord, see my anguish!
My heart is broken
and my soul despairs,
for I have rebelled against you.
In the streets the sword kills,
and at home there is only death.
21 “Others heard my groans,
but no one turned to comfort me.
When my enemies heard about my troubles,
they were happy to see what you had done.
Oh, bring the day you promised,
when they will suffer as I have suffered.
22 “Look at all their evil deeds, Lord.
Punish them,
as you have punished me
for all my sins.
My groans are many,
and I am sick at heart.”

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.”
