Lamentations 1:20-22
Contemporary English Version
20 Won't you look and see
how upset I am, our Lord?
My stomach is in knots,
and my heart is broken
because I betrayed you.
In the streets and at home,
my people are slaughtered.
21 Everyone heard my groaning,
but no one offered comfort.
My enemies know of the trouble
that you have brought on me,
and it makes them glad.
Hurry and punish them,
as you have promised.
22 Don't let their evil deeds
escape your sight.
Punish them as much
as you have punished me
because of my sins.
I never stop groaning—
I've lost all hope!
Lamentations 1:20-22
New International Version
20 “See, Lord, how distressed(A) I am!
I am in torment(B) within,
and in my heart I am disturbed,(C)
for I have been most rebellious.(D)
Outside, the sword bereaves;
inside, there is only death.(E)
