Lamentations 1:19-22 LSB
Qoph
19 I called to my lovers, but they deceived me;
My priests and my elders breathed their last in the city
While they sought food for themselves in order to restore their souls.
Resh
20 See, O Yahweh, for I am in distress;
My inmost being is greatly disturbed;
My heart is overturned within me,
For I have been very rebellious.
In the street the sword bereaves;
In the house it is like death.
Shin
21 They have heard that I am sighing;
There is no one to comfort me;
All my enemies have heard of the evil done to me;
They rejoice that You have done it.
You have brought the day which You have proclaimed,
So that they will become like me.
Tav
22 Let all their evil come before You;
And deal severely with them as You have dealt severely with me
For all my transgressions;
For my groans are great and my heart is faint.”
