19AriseH6965, cryH7442 out in the nightH3915, at the beginning of the watchesH821;PourH8210 out thy heartH3820 like waterH4325 before the faceH6440 of the LordH136:LiftH5375 up thy handsH3709 toward him for the lifeH5315 of thy young childrenH5768, that faint for hungerH7458 at the headH7218 of every streetH2351.20SeeH7200, O Jehovah, and behold to whom thou hast done thusH3541!Shall the womenH802 eatH398 their fruitH6529, the childrenH5768 that are dandled in the hands?Shall the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 be slainH2026 in the sanctuaryH4720 of the Lord?21The youthH5288 and the oldH2205 manH5288 lieH7901 on the groundH776 in the streetsH2351;My virginsH1330 and my youngH5288 menH5288 are fallenH5307 by the swordH2719:Thou hast slainH2026 them in the dayH3117 of thine angerH639; thou hast slaughteredH2873, and not pitied.22Thou hast calledH7121, as in the dayH3117 of a solemn assembly, my terrorsH4032 on every side;And there wasH1961 none that escaped or remained in the dayH3117 of Jehovah’s angerH639:Those that I have dandled and brought up hath mine enemyH341 consumed.
