Lamentations 1:18

The Desolate City

¹⁷ Zion's hands are outstretched. She has no comforter. Jehovah gave orders to the attackers of Jacob round about him: Jerusalem is an unclean (abhorrent) thing among them. ¹⁸ “The Lord is righteous;
For I have rebelled against His command;
Hear now, all peoples,
And behold my pain;
My virgins and my young men
Have gone into captivity.
¹⁹ I sent for my lovers, but they were false to me. My priests and my responsible men are dying. They look for food to give them new life.
