Lamentations 2:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 Their heart (A)cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter Zion, let tears run down like a river, day and night: take thee no rest, neither let the apple of thine eye cease.
19 Arise, cry in the night: in the beginning of the watches, pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thine hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the corners of all the streets.
20 Behold, O Lord, and consider to whom thou hast done thus: shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a [a]span long? shall the Priest and the Prophet be slain in the Sanctuary of the Lord?
