Lamentations 2:18-22

18Their heartH3820 criedH6817 unto the LordH136: O wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, letH5414 tearsH1832 runH3381 downH3381 like a riverH5158 dayH3119 and nightH3915; giveH5414 thyself noH408 respite; letH5414 notH408 the apple of thine eyeH5869 cease. 19AriseH6965, cryH7442 outH8210 in the nightH3915, at the beginningH7218 of the watchesH821; pourH8210 outH8210 thine heartH3820 like waterH4325 beforeH6440 the faceH6440 of the LordH136: liftH5375 upH6965 thy handsH3709 towardH413 him for the lifeH5315 of thy young childrenH5768, that faint for hungerH7458 at the topH7218 of everyH3605 streetH2351. 20SeeH7200, O LORDH3068, and beholdH7200, to whomH4310 thou hast done thusH3541! shall the womenH802 eatH398 their fruitH6529, the childrenH5768 that are dandled in the hands? shall the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 be slainH2026 in the sanctuaryH4720 of the LordH3068? 21The youthH5288 and the oldH2205 manH5288 lieH7901 on the groundH776 in the streetsH2351; my virginsH1330 and my youngH5288 menH5288 are fallenH5307 by the swordH2719: thou hast slainH2026 them in the dayH3117 of thine angerH639; thou hast slaughteredH2873, and notH3808 pitied. 22Thou hast calledH7121, as in the dayH3117 of a solemn assemblyH4150, my terrorsH4032 on everyH5439 sideH5439, and there was noneH3808 that escaped or remainedH1961 in the dayH3117 of the LORD’SH3068 angerH639: thoseH834 that I have dandled and broughtH1961 upH1961 hath mine enemyH341 consumedH3615.
