18Their 1heartH3820 criedH6817 out to the LordH136, “O 2wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, Let your 3tearsH1832 runH3381 downH3381 like a riverH5158 dayH3119 and nightH3915; GiveH5414 yourself noH408 reliefH6314, Let 4your eyesH5869 haveH1826 noH408 restH1826.19AriseH6965, cryH7442 aloudH7442 in the 5nightH3915 At the beginningH7218 of the night watchesH821; 6PourH8210 out your heartH3820 like waterH4325 BeforeH5227 the presenceH6440 of the LordH136; LiftH5375 up your handsH3709 to Him For the 7lifeH5315 of your littleH5768 onesH5768 Who are 8faintH5848 because of hungerH7458 At the headH7218 of everyH3605 streetH2351.”20SeeH7200, O LordH3068, and lookH5027! With 9whomH4310 have You dealtH5953 thusH3541? Should womenH802 10eatH398 their 11offspringH6529, The littleH5768 onesH5768 whoH2949 were 12bornH2949 healthyH2949? Should 13priestH3548 and prophetH5030 be slainH2026 In the sanctuaryH4720 of the LordH136?21On the groundH776 in the streetsH2351 LieH7901 14youngH5288 and oldH2205; My 15virginsH1330 and my youngH970 menH970 Have fallenH5307 by the swordH2719. You have slainH2026 them in the dayH3117 of Your angerH639, You have slaughteredH2873, 16not sparingH2550.22You calledH7121 as in the dayH3117 of an appointedH4150 feastH4150 My 17terrorsH4032 on everyH5439 sideH5439; And there was 18noH3808 one whoH6412 escapedH6412 or survivedH8300 In the dayH3117 of the Lord’sH3068 angerH639. Those 19whomH834 I 20boreH2946 and rearedH7235, My enemyH340 annihilatedH3615 them.
