Lamentations 1:19 in Context — Lamentations 1
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.
20 Mira, oh Jehová, que estoy atribulada: mis entrañas rugen, mi corazón está trastornado en medio de mí; porque me rebelé desaforadamente: de fuera deshijó el cuchillo, de dentro parece una muerte.
21 Oyeron que gemía, y no hay consolador para mí: todos mis enemigos han oído mi mal, se han holgado de que tú lo hiciste. Harás venir el día que has anunciado, y serán como yo.
