Lamentations 1:19DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 19 of 22
"I called for my lovers, they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls."
In context
17Zion spreadeth forth her hands, none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, his adversaries round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
18The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
19I called for my lovers, they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.
20Behold, O LORD; for I in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home as death.
21They have heard that I sigh: none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done : thou wilt bring the day thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me.
