Lamentations 1:17-19

Lexham English Bible

¹⁷ Zion stretches out her hands;
    there is no one to comfort her.
Yahweh has commanded against Jacob,
    that those surrounding him^[a] should be his enemies;
Jerusalem has become
    a defilement among them.
¹⁸ Yahweh is righteous;
    I have rebelled against his word.^[b]
Please hear, all the nations,
    And see my pain;
My young women^[c] and young men
    went into captivity.
¹⁹ I have called to my lovers,
    they themselves deceived me;
my priests and elders perished in the city
    when they sought food for themselves
        to revive their life.^[d]
