Lamentations 1:19-21
English Standard Version
19 “I called to (A)my lovers,
but they deceived me;
my priests and elders
perished in the city,
while (B)they sought food
to revive their strength.
20 “Look, O Lord, for I am in distress;
(C)my stomach churns;
my heart is wrung within me,
because I have been very rebellious.
(D)In the street the sword bereaves;
in the house it is like death.
21 “They heard[a] (E)my groaning,
yet (F)there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
(G)they are glad that you have done it.
You have brought[b] the day you announced;
(H)now let them be as I am.
