Lamentations:1:18-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The LORD is righteous ;
for I have rebelled against his commandment :
hear ,
I pray you ,
all people ,
and behold my sorrow :
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 .
*
Behold ,
O LORD ;
for I am in distress :
my bowels are troubled ;
mine heart is turned within me ;
for I have grievously rebelled :
abroad the sword bereaveth ,
at home there is as death .
*
They have heard that I sigh :
there is none to comfort me :
all mine enemies have heard of my trouble ;
they are glad that thou hast done it :
thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called ,
and they shall be like unto me .
*
Let all their wickedness come before thee ;
and do unto them ,
as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions :
for my sighs are many ,
and my heart is faint .
