Lamentations 1:19-21

English Standard Version

¹⁹ “I called to ^(A)my lovers,
    but they deceived me;
my priests and elders
    perished in the city,
while ^(B)they sought food
    to revive their strength.

²⁰ “Look, O Lord, for I am in distress;
    ^(C)my stomach churns;
my heart is wrung within me,
    because I have been very rebellious.
^(D)In the street the sword bereaves;
    in the house it is like death.

²¹ “They heard^{[a] (E)}my groaning,
    yet ^(F)there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
    ^(G)they are glad that you have done it.
You have brought^[b] the day you announced;
    ^(H)now let them be as I am.
