Lamentations 1:18-20

View Full Chapter

18“The LORD is righteous, yet I rebelled against his command. Listen, all you peoples; look on my suffering. My young men and young women have gone into exile.

19“I called to my allies but they betrayed me. My priests and my elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive.

20“See, LORD, how distressed I am! I am in torment within, and in my heart I am disturbed, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is only death.
