Lamentations 2:19-22

19AriseH6965, cry outH7442 in the nightH3915 from the firstH7218 watch of the nightH821.1 Pour outH8210 your heartH3820 like waterH4325 inH5227 the presenceH6440 of the LordH136. Lift upH5375 your handsH3709 to HimH413 forH5921 the livesH5315 of your childrenH5768 who are faintingH5848 from hungerH7458 on the cornerH7218 of everyH3605 streetH2351.

20LookH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027:WhomH4310 have You ever treatedH5953 like thisH3541?ShouldH518 womenH802 eatH398 their offspringH6529,the infantsH5768 they have nurturedH2949?Should priestsH3548 and prophetsH5030 be killedH2026in the sanctuaryH4720 of the LordH136H518?
21Both youngH5288 and oldH2205 lie togetherH7901in the dustH776 of the streetsH2351.My young menH970 and maidensH1330have fallenH5307 by the swordH2719.You have slainH2026 them in the dayH3117 of Your angerH639;You have slaughteredH2873 them withoutH3808 compassionH2550.
22You summonedH7121 my terrorsH4032 on every sideH5439,as for the dayH3117 of an appointed feastH4150.In the dayH3117 of the LORD’sH3068 angerH639noH3808H1961 one escapedH6412 or survivedH8300;my enemyH341 has destroyedH3615thoseH834 I nurturedH2946 and rearedH7235.
