Lamentations 1:18 The LORD3068 is righteous;6662 for I have rebelled4784 against his commandment:6310{Heb. mouth} hear,8085 I pray you, all people,5971 and behold7200 my sorrow:4341 my virgins1330 and my young men970 are gone1980 into captivity.7628 cr 19 I called7121 for my lovers,157 but they deceived7411 me: my priests3548 and mine elders2205 gave up the ghost1478 in the city,5892 while they sought1245 their meat400 to relieve7725 their souls.5315 cr 20 Behold,7200 O LORD;3068 for I am in distress:6887 my bowels4578 are troubled;2560 mine heart3820 is turned2015 within7130 me; for I have grievously4784 rebelled:4784 abroad2351 the sword2719 bereaveth,7921 at home1004 there is as death.4194 cr 21 They have heard8085 that I sigh:584 there is none to comfort5162 me: all mine enemies341 have heard8085 of my trouble;7451 they are glad7797 that thou hast done6213 it: thou wilt bring935 the day3117 that thou hast called,7121{Or, proclaimed} and they shall be like3644 unto me. cr 22 Let all their wickedness7451 come935 before6440 thee; and do5953 unto them, as thou hast done5953 unto me for all my transgressions:6588 for my sighs585 are many,7227 and my heart3820 is faint.1742 cr
