Lamentations 2:18-20
Good News Translation
18 O Jerusalem, let your very walls cry out to the Lord![a]
Let your tears flow like rivers night and day;
Wear yourself out with weeping and grief
19 All through the night get up again and again to cry out to the Lord;
Pour out your heart and beg him for mercy on your children—
Children starving to death on every street corner!
20 Look, O Lord! Why are you punishing us like this?
Women are eating the bodies of the children they loved!
Priests and prophets are being killed in the Temple itself
