Lamentations 1:17-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
17
Zion stretches out with her hands;
There is no one to comfort her;
The
Lord
has commanded regarding Jacob
That those around him become his adversaries;
Jerusalem has become a filthy thing among them.
18
'The
Lord
is righteous,
For I have rebelled against His command;
Hear now, all peoples,
And see my pain;
My virgins and my young men
Have gone into captivity.
19
I called to my lovers,
but
they deserted me;
My priests and my elders perished in the city
While they sought food to restore their strength themselves.
20
See,
Lord
, for I am in distress;
My spirit is greatly troubled;
My heart is overturned within me,
For I have been very rebellious.
In the street the sword has made
women
childless;
In the house it is like death.
21
They have heard that I groan;
There is no one to comfort me,
All my enemies have heard of my disaster;
They are joyful that You have done
it.
Oh, that You would bring the day which You have proclaimed,
So that they will become like me.
King James Version
Chapter 1
17
Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the
Lord
hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
18
The
Lord
is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
19
I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.
20
Behold, O
Lord
; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death.
21
They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
17
Zion stretches out her hands;
there is no one to comfort her.
The
Lord
has issued a decree against Jacob
that his neighbors should be his adversaries.
Jerusalem has become
something impure among them.
18
The
Lord
is just,
for I have rebelled against his command.
Listen, all you people;
look at my pain.
My young women and young men
have gone into captivity.
19
I called to my lovers,
but they betrayed me.
My priests and elders
perished in the city
while searching for food
to keep themselves alive.
20
Lord
, see how I am in distress.
I am churning within;
my heart is broken,
for I have been very rebellious.
Outside, the sword takes the children;
inside, there is death.
21
People have heard me groaning,
but there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my misfortune;
they are glad that you have caused it.
Bring on the day you have announced,
so that they may become like me.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
17
Jerusalem reaches out for help,
but no one comforts her.
Regarding his people Israel,
the
Lord
has said,
'Let their neighbors be their enemies!
Let them be thrown away like a filthy rag!'
18
'The
Lord
is right,' Jerusalem says,
'for I rebelled against him.
Listen, people everywhere;
look upon my anguish and despair,
for my sons and daughters
have been taken captive to distant lands.
19
'I begged my allies for help,
but they betrayed me.
My priests and leaders
starved to death in the city,
even as they searched for food
to save their lives.
20
'
Lord
, see my anguish!
My heart is broken
and my soul despairs,
for I have rebelled against you.
In the streets the sword kills,
and at home there is only death.
21
'Others heard my groans,
but no one turned to comfort me.
When my enemies heard about my troubles,
they were happy to see what you had done.
Oh, bring the day you promised,
when they will suffer as I have suffered.

"They heard my groaning,
yet there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
