Lamentations 1:19 in Context — Lamentations 1
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.
19 Clamei a meus amantes, porém eles me enganaram; meus sacerdotes e meus anciãos pereceram na cidade; pois buscam comida para si tentarem sobreviver. )
20 Olha, SENHOR, que estou angustiada; tormentam-se minhas entranhas, meu coração está transtornado em meio de mim, pois gravemente me rebelei; de fora desfilhou [-me] a espada, de dentro está como a morte.
21 Eles me ouvem gemendo, [porém] não tenho consolador. Todos meus inimigos, quando ouvem minha aflição se alegram, pois tu o fizeste. Quando tu trouxeres o dia que anunciaste, eles serão como eu.
