Lamentations 1:16-18
Lexham English Bible
16 For these things, I am weeping,
my eyes flow with tears;[a]
because a comforter is far from me,
one to restore my life.
My sons are desolate
because the enemy has prevailed.
17 Zion stretches out her hands;
there is no one to comfort her.
Yahweh has commanded against Jacob,
that those surrounding him[b] should be his enemies;
Jerusalem has become
a defilement among them.
18 Yahweh is righteous;
I have rebelled against his word.[c]
Please hear, all the nations,
And see my pain;
My young women[d] and young men
went into captivity.
