Lamentations 1:19-21
Common English Bible
19 I called to my lovers, but they deceived me.
My priests and my elders have perished in the city;
they were looking for food to survive.
20 Pay attention, Lord, for I am in trouble. My stomach is churning;
my heart is pounding inside me because I am so bitter.
In the streets the sword kills; in the house it is like death.
21 People heard that I was groaning, that I had no comforter.
All my enemies heard about my distress; they were thrilled that you had done this.
Bring the day you have announced so they become like me!
Lamentations 1:19-21
New International Version
19 “I called to my allies(A)
but they betrayed me.
My priests and my elders
perished(B) in the city
while they searched for food
to keep themselves alive.
