Lamentations 2:19 in Context — Lamentations 2
17 O SENHOR fez o que tinha determinado; cumpriu sua palavra que ele havia mandado desde os dias antigos; destruiu sem ter compaixão; e alegrou o inimigo sobre ti, e levantou o poder de teus adversários.
18 O coração deles clamou ao Senhor. Ó muralha da filha de Sião, derrama lágrimas como um ribeiro dia e noite; não te dês descanso, nem cessem as meninas de teus olhos.
19 Levanta-te, grita de noite, no começo das vigílias; derrama teu coração como águas diante da presença do Senhor; levanta tuas mãos a ele pela vida de tuas criancinhas, que desfalecem de fome nas entradas de todas as ruas.
20 Olha, SENHOR, e considera a quem fizeste de tal modo; por acaso as mulheres comerão do seu [próprio] fruto, as criancinhas que carregam nos braços? Por acaso serão o sacerdote e o profeta mortos no santuário do Senhor?
21 Jovens e velhos jazem por [pelas] ruas; minhas virgens e meus rapazes caíram à espada; tu [os] mataste no dia de tua ira, degolaste sem ter compaixão.
