Lamentations 1:20-22
The Voice
20 Take account, Eternal One, of me; how miserable I am.
My belly growls and turns;
My heart is wrung out like a rag; my faults and failings are to blame
because I have been rebellious.
Death is everywhere in the homes;
the sword makes women childless in the streets.
21 Uncaring, with no compassion from others,
they know how badly I suffer.
O how alone I am.
My enemies gloat, and You have brought about my misery,
So happy to know I’m in pain.
But You, O God, will make them as bad off as I.
22 Vindicate me and judge their evil actions
and make them suffer,
As You’ve made me suffer
for all my wrongdoings.
I’m a wreck, and I groan with a faint heart.
Lamentations 1:20-22
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)
