Lamentations 1:20-22
New International Reader's Version
20 “Lord, see how upset I am!
I am suffering deep down inside.
My heart is troubled.
Again and again I have refused to obey you.
Outside the city, people are being killed by swords.
Inside, there is nothing but death.
21 “People have heard me groan.
But no one is here to comfort me.
My enemies have heard about all my troubles.
What you have done makes them happy.
So please judge them, just as you said you would.
Let them become like me.
22 “Please pay attention to all their sinful ways.
Punish them as you have punished me.
You judged me because I had committed so many sins.
I groan all the time.
And my heart is weak.”

New International Version
20 “See, Lord, how distressed(A) I am!
I am in torment(B) within,
and in my heart I am disturbed,(C)
for I have been most rebellious.(D)
Outside, the sword bereaves;
inside, there is only death.(E)
