Lamentations 2:18-20

Tree of Life Version

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.
²⁰ Look, Adonai, and consider
    with whom You have dealt so severely!
Should women eat their offspring,
    their healthy newborn infants?
Should kohen and prophet be slain
    in the Sanctuary of the Lord?
