Lamentations 1:11-22

11All her people groan, 1seeking bread; They have given their treasures for food To 2restore their 3lives. “See, Lord, and look, For I am 4despised.”12“Is it 5nothing to all you who pass this way? Look and see if there is any pain like my pain Which was inflicted on me, With which the 6Lord tormented me on the day of His 7fierce anger.13From 8the height He sent fire into my 9bones, And it dominated them. He has spread a 10net for my feet; He has turned me back; He has made me 11desolate, 12Faint all day long.14The 13yoke of my wrongdoings is bound; By His hand they are woven together. They have 14come upon my neck; He has made my strength 15fail. The Lord 16has handed me over To those against whom I am not able to stand.15The 17Lord has thrown away all my strong men In my midst; He has called an appointed 18time against me To crush my 19young men; The Lord has 20trodden as in a wine press The virgin daughter of Judah.16For these things I 21weep; 22My eyes run down with water; Because far from me is a 23comforter, One to restore my soul. My children are desolate Because the enemy has prevailed.”17Zion 24stretches out with her hands; There is no one to comfort her; The Lord has 25commanded regarding Jacob That those around him become his adversaries; 26Jerusalem has become a filthy thing among them.18“The Lord is 27righteous, For I have 28rebelled against His 29command; Hear now, all peoples, And 30see my pain; 31My virgins and my young men Have gone into captivity.19I 32called to my lovers, but they deserted me; My 33priests and my elders perished in the city While they sought food to 34restore their 35strength themselves.20See, Lord, for I am in distress; My 3637spirit is greatly troubled; My heart is overturned within me, For I have been very 38rebellious. In the street the sword has made women childless; In the house it is like death.21They have heard that I 39groan; There is no one to comfort me, All my enemies have heard of my disaster; They are 40joyful that You have done it. Oh, that You would bring the day which You have proclaimed, So that they will become 41like me.22May all their wickedness come before You; And 42deal with them just as You have dealt with me For all my wrongdoings. For my groans are many and my heart is faint.”
