Lamentations 1:19-21

New King James Version

¹⁹ “I called for my lovers,
But they deceived me;
My priests and my elders
Breathed their last in the city,
While they sought food
To restore their life.

²⁰ “See, O Lord, that I am in distress;
My ^(A)soul^[a] is troubled;
My heart is overturned within me,
For I have been very rebellious.
^(B)Outside the sword bereaves,
At home it is like death.

²¹ “They have heard that I sigh,
But no one comforts me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
They are ^(C)glad that You have done it.
Bring on ^(D)the day You have ^[b]announced,
That they may become like me.
