Lamentations 1:18-22
18“The LordH3068 is 1righteousH6662; For I have 2rebelledH4784 againstH854 His 3commandH6310; HearH8085 nowH4994, allH3605 peoplesH5971, And 4beholdH7200 my 5painH4341; 6My virginsH1330 and my youngH970 menH970 Have goneH1980 into captivityH7628.19I 7calledH7121 to my loversH157, but they deceivedH7411 me; My 8priestsH3548 and my eldersH2205 perishedH1478 in the cityH5892 WhileH3588 they soughtH1245 foodH400 to 9restoreH7725 10their strengthH5315 themselves.20SeeH7200, O LordH3068, for I am in distressH6887; My 1112spiritH4578 is greatlyH2560 troubledH2560; My heartH3820 is overturnedH2015 withinH7130 me, For I have been veryH4784 13rebelliousH4784. In the streetH2351 the swordH2719 14slaysH7921; In the houseH1004 it is like deathH4194.21They have heardH8085 that I 15groanH584; ThereH369 is noH369 oneH369 to comfortH5162 me; AllH3605 my enemiesH340 have heardH8085 of my 16calamityH7463; They are 17gladH7797 that You have doneH6213 it. Oh, that You would bringH935 the dayH3117 which You have proclaimedH7121, That they may becomeH1961 18likeH3644 me.22Let allH3605 their wickednessH7463 comeH935 beforeH6440 You; And 19dealH5953 with them as You have dealtH5953 with me For allH3605 my transgressionsH6588; For my groansH585 are manyH7227 and my heartH3820 is faintH1742.”
