Lamentations 1:11-22

11All her people groan 1seeking bread; They have given their precious things for food To 2restore their 3lives themselves. “See, O Lord, and look, For I am 4despised.”12“Is 5it nothing to all you who pass this way? Look and see if there is any 6pain like my 7pain Which was severely dealt out to me, Which the 8Lord inflicted on the day of His 9fierce anger.13From on high He sent fire into my 10bones, And it 11prevailed over them. He has spread a 12net for my feet; He has turned me back; He has made me 13desolate, 14Faint all day long.14The 15yoke of my transgressions is bound; By His hand they are knit together. They have 16come upon my neck; He has made my strength 17fail. The Lord 18has given me into the hands Of those against whom I am not able to stand.15The 19Lord has rejected all my strong men In my midst; He has called an appointed 20time against me To crush my 21young men; The Lord has 22trodden as in a wine press The virgin daughter of Judah.16For these things I 23weep; 24My eyes run down with water; Because far from me is a 25comforter, One who restores my soul. My children are desolate Because the enemy has prevailed.”17Zion 26stretches out her hands; There is no one to comfort her; The Lord has 27commanded concerning Jacob That the ones round about him should be his adversaries; 28Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.18“The Lord is 29righteous; For I have 30rebelled against His 31command; Hear now, all peoples, And 32behold my 33pain; 34My virgins and my young men Have gone into captivity.19I 35called to my lovers, but they deceived me; My 36priests and my elders perished in the city While they sought food to 37restore 38their strength themselves.20See, O Lord, for I am in distress; My 3940spirit is greatly troubled; My heart is overturned within me, For I have been very 41rebellious. In the street the sword 42slays; In the house it is like death.21They have heard that I 43groan; There is no one to comfort me; All my enemies have heard of my 44calamity; They are 45glad that You have done it. Oh, that You would bring the day which You have proclaimed, That they may become 46like me.22Let all their wickedness come before You; And 47deal with them as You have dealt with me For all my transgressions; For my groans are many and my heart is faint.”
