Lamentations 2:19-22

19AriseH6965, cry outH7442 in the nightH3915: in the beginningH7218 of the watchesH821 pour outH8210 thine heartH3820 like waterH4325 beforeH5227 the faceH6440 of the LordH136: lift upH5375 thy handsH3709 toward him for the lifeH5315 of thy young childrenH5768, that faintH5848 for hungerH7458 in the topH7218 of every streetH2351.

20BeholdH7200, O YhwhH3068, and considerH5027 to whom thou hast doneH5953 thisH3541. Shall the womenH802 eatH398 their fruitH6529, and childrenH5768 of a span longH2949? shall the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 be slainH2026 in the sanctuaryH4720 of the LordH136?1 21The youngH5288 and the oldH2205 lieH7901 on the groundH776 in the streetsH2351: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are fallenH5307 by the swordH2719; thou hast slainH2026 them in the dayH3117 of thine angerH639; thou hast killedH2873, and not pitiedH2550. 22Thou hast calledH7121 as in a solemnH4150 dayH3117 my terrorsH4032 round aboutH5439, so that in the dayH3117 of Yhwh'sH3068 angerH639 none escapedH6412 nor remainedH8300: those that I have swaddledH2946 and brought upH7235 hath mine enemyH341 consumedH3615.
