Lamentations 1:17 in Context — Lamentations 1
15 El Señor ha hollado todos mis fuertes en medio de mí; llamó contra mí compañía para quebrantar mis mancebos: como lagar ha pisado el Señor á la virgen hija de Judá.
16 Por esta causa yo lloro; mis ojos, mis ojos fluyen aguas; porque se alejó de mí consolador que dé reposo á mi alma: mis hijos son destruídos, porque el enemigo prevaleció.
17 Sión extendió sus manos, no tiene quien la consuele; Jehová dió mandamiento contra Jacob, que sus enemigos lo cercasen: Jerusalem fué en abominación entre ellos.
18 Jehová es justo; que yo contra su boca me rebelé. Oid ahora, pueblos todos, y ved mi dolor: mis vírgenes y mis mancebos fueron en cautiverio.
19 Dí voces á mis amadores, mas ellos me han engañado; mis sacerdotes y mis ancianos en la ciudad perecieron, buscando comida para sí con que entretener su vida.
