Lamentations 2:17-19

Tree of Life Version

¹⁷ Adonai has done what He planned;
He has fulfilled His word
    that He commanded from days of old.
He has overthrown you without pity,
He enabled the enemy to gloat over you.
He has exalted the horn of your foes.
¹⁸ Their heart cried out to the Lord:
    O wall of the daughter of Zion,
let tears run down
    like a river day and night.
Give yourself no relief,
    your eyes no rest.
¹⁹ Arise! Cry out in the night
    at the beginning of the watches!
Pour out your heart like water
    before the presence of the Lord.
Lift up your hands to Him
    for the life of your children
who faint from hunger
    at the head of every street.
