Lamentations 1:20-22

Modern English Version

²⁰ Look, O Lord, for I am in distress;
    my soul is greatly troubled;
my heart is overturned within me,
    for I have grievously rebelled.
In the street the sword bereaves,
    at home it is like death.

²¹ They have heard my groaning,
    yet there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
    they are glad that You have done it.
Bring the day that You have announced,
    that they become like me.

²² Let all their wickedness come before You,
    and do to them
as You have done to me
    for all my transgressions;
for my groans are many,
    and my heart is faint.
