Lamentations 1:19 · Berean Standard Bible
I called out to my lovers, but they have betrayed me. My priests and elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive.
Context
17Sayuni ananyoosha mikono yake,
lakini hakuna yeyote wa kumfariji.
Bwana ametoa amri kwa ajili ya Yakobo
kwamba majirani zake wawe adui zake;
Yerusalemu umekuwa
kitu najisi miongoni mwao. 18“Bwana ni mwenye haki,
hata hivyo niliasi dhidi ya amri yake.
Sikilizeni, enyi mataifa yote,
tazameni maumivu yangu.
Wavulana wangu na wasichana wangu
wamekwenda uhamishoni. 19“Niliita washirika wangu
lakini walinisaliti.
Makuhani wangu na wazee wangu
waliangamia mjini
walipokuwa wakitafuta chakula
ili waweze kuishi. 20“Angalia, Ee Bwana, jinsi nilivyo katika dhiki!
Nina maumivu makali ndani yangu,
nami ninahangaika moyoni mwangu,
kwa kuwa nimekuwa mwasi sana.
Huko nje, upanga unaua watu,
ndani, kipo kifo tu. 21“Watu wamesikia ninavyolia kwa uchungu,
lakini hakuna yeyote wa kunifariji.
Adui zangu wote wamesikia juu ya dhiki yangu,
wanafurahia lile ulilolitenda.
Naomba uilete siku uliyoitangaza
ili wawe kama mimi.
