Lamentations 1:15-17
The Message
15 “The Master piled up my best soldiers in a heap,
then called in thugs to break their fine young necks.
The Master crushed the life out of fair virgin Judah.
16 “For all this I weep, weep buckets of tears,
and not a soul within miles around cares for my soul.
My children are wasted, my enemy got his way.”
17 Zion reached out for help, but no one helped.
God ordered Jacob’s enemies to surround him,
and now no one wants anything to do with Jerusalem.
Lamentations 1:15-17
New International Version
15 “The Lord has rejected
all the warriors in my midst;(A)
he has summoned an army(B) against me
to[a] crush my young men.(C)
In his winepress(D) the Lord has trampled(E)
Virgin Daughter(F) Judah.
