Lamentations 2:18-19

18Day and night, cause your tears to run like a river round the walls of Zion. Cry to the Lord all the time, you people. Do not rest. Do not let your eyes stop crying.

19Stand up and pray for God's help. Talk to God all night. Pour out your words and thoughts to the Lord as you pour out water from a jar. Lift up your hands to him, and ask him to save the lives of your children. They fall down to die at the end of every street because they are so hungry.
