Lamentations 1:20-22

Good News Translation

²⁰ “Look, O Lord, at my agony, at the anguish of my soul!
    My heart is broken in sorrow for my sins.
    There is murder in the streets; even indoors there is death.

²¹ “Listen^[a] to my groans; there is no one to comfort me.
    My enemies are glad that you brought disaster on me.
    Bring^[b] the day you promised; make my enemies suffer as I do.

²² “Condemn them for all their wickedness;
    Punish them as you punished me for my sins.
    I groan in misery, and I am sick at heart.”
