Lamentations 1:16 in Context — Lamentations 1
14 O jugo de minhas transgressões está amarrado por sua mão, elas estão ligadas, postas sobre o meu pescoço; ele abateu minhas forças. O Senhor me entregou nas suas mãos daqueles contra quem não posso me levantar.
15 O Senhor derrotou todos os meus fortes em meio de mim; convocou contra mim um ajuntamento para quebrar os meus rapazes; o Senhor tem pisado a virgem filha de Judá como [se fosse] em uma prensa de uvas.
16 Por estas coisas que eu choro; meus olhos, de meus olhos correm águas; pois afastou-se de mim consolador que daria descanso à minha alma: meus filhos estão desolados, porque o inimigo prevaleceu.
17 Sião estendeu suas mãos, não há quem a console; o SENHOR deu ordens contra Jacó, para que seus inimigos o cercassem: Jerusalém se tornou imunda entre eles.
18 O SENHOR é justo; eu que me rebelei contra sua boca. Ouvi, pois, todos os povos, e vede minha dor; minhas virgens e meus rapazes foram em cativeiro.
