Lamentations:1:16-19
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For these things I weep ;
mine eye ,
mine eye runneth down with water ,
because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me :
my children are desolate ,
because the enemy prevailed .
*
Zion spreadeth forth her hands ,
and there is none to comfort her :
the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
that his adversaries should be round about him :
Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them .
*
The LORD is righteous ;
for I have rebelled against his commandment :
hear ,
I pray you ,
all people ,
and behold my sorrow mak #
ob #:
my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity .
*
I called for my lovers ,
but they deceived me :
my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city ,
while they sought their meat to relieve their souls .
