Lamentations 1:17-19

World English Bible

¹⁷ Zion spreads out her hands.
    There is no one to comfort her.
Yahweh has commanded concerning Jacob,
    that those who are around him should be his adversaries.
    Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.

¹⁸ “Yahweh is righteous;
    for I have rebelled against his commandment.
Please hear all you peoples,
    and see my sorrow.
    My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.

¹⁹ “I called for my lovers,
    but they deceived me.
My priests and my elders gave up the spirit in the city,
    while they sought food for themselves to refresh their souls.
