Lamentations 2:18-22

18Their heartH3820 criedH6817 to the LordH136, O wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, let tearsH1832 run downH3381 like a riverH5158 dayH3119 and nightH3915: giveH5414 thyself no restH6314; let not the appleH1323 of thy eyeH5869 ceaseH1826. 19AriseH6965, cry outH7442 in the nightH3915: in the beginningH7218 of the watchesH821 pour outH8210 thy 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 at the headH7218 of every streetH2351. 20BeholdH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027 to whom thou hast doneH5953 thisH3541. Shall the womenH802 eatH398 their fruitH6529, 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 have fallenH5307 by the swordH2719; thou hast slainH2026 them in the dayH3117 of thy angerH639; thou hast killedH2873, and not pitiedH2550. 22Thou hast calledH7121 as in a solemnH4150 dayH3117 my terrorsH4032 on every sideH5439, so that in the dayH3117 of the LORD’SH3068 angerH639 none escapedH6412 nor remainedH8300: those that I have swaddledH2946 and brought upH7235 hath my enemyH341 consumedH3615.
