Lamentations 2:18-20
Holman Christian Standard Bible
צ Tsade
18 The hearts of the people cry out to the Lord.
Wall of Daughter Zion,(A)
let your tears run down like a river
day and night.(B)
Give yourself no relief
and your[a] eyes no rest.
ק Qof
19 Arise, cry out in the night
from the first watch of the night.
Pour out your heart like water
before the Lord’s presence.(C)
Lift up your hands to Him
for the lives of your children
who are fainting from hunger
on the corner of every street.(D)
ר Resh
20 Lord, look and consider
who You have done this to.
Should women eat their own children,(E)
the infants they have nurtured?[b]
Should priests and prophets
be killed in the Lord’s sanctuary?
