Lamentations 2:18-22

Lamentations 2:18-22 NCV

The people cry out to the Lord. Wall of Jerusalem, let your tears flow like a river day and night. Do not stop or let your eyes rest. Get up, cry out in the night, even as the night begins. Pour out your heart like water in prayer to the Lord. Lift up your hands in prayer to him for the life of your children who are fainting with hunger on every street corner. Jerusalem says: “Look, LORD, and see to whom you have done this. Women eat their own babies, the children they have cared for. Priests and prophets are killed in the Temple of the Lord. “People young and old lie outside on the ground. My young women and young men have been killed by the sword. You killed them on the day of your anger; you killed them without mercy. “You invited terrors to come against me on every side, as if you were inviting them to a feast. No one escaped or remained alive on the day of the LORD’s anger. My enemy has killed those I cared for and brought up.”
