Lamentations 2:19 in Context — Lamentations 2
17 Jehová ha hecho lo que tenía determinado, ha cumplido su palabra que él había mandado desde tiempo antiguo: destruyó, y no perdonó; y alegró sobre ti al enemigo, y enalteció el cuerno de tus adversarios.
18 El corazón de ellos clamaba al Señor: Oh muro de la hija de Sión, echa lágrimas como un arroyo día y noche; no descanses, ni cesen las niñas de tus ojos.
19 Levántate, da voces en la noche, en el principio de las velas; derrama como agua tu corazón ante la presencia del Señor; alza tus manos á él por la vida de tus pequeñitos, que desfallecen de hambre en las entradas de todas las calles.
20 Mira, oh Jehová, y considera á quién has hecho así. ¿Han de comer las mujeres su fruto, los pequeñitos de sus crías? ¿Han de ser muertos en el santuario del Señor el sacerdote y el profeta?
21 Niños y viejos yacían por tierra en las calles; mis vírgenes y mis mancebos cayeron á cuchillo: mataste en el día de tu furor, degollaste, no perdonaste.
