Context
Jerusalem Speaks:
1:18 צ (Tsade) The Lord is right to judge me ! Yes, I rebelled against his commands . Please listen , all you nations, and look at my suffering! My young women and men have gone into
1:19 ק(Qof) I called for my lovers , but they had deceived me. My priests and my elders perished in the city . Truly they had searched for food to keep themselves alive .
1:20 ר(Resh) Look , O Lord ! I am distressed ; my stomach is in knots ! My heart is pounding inside me. Yes , I was terribly rebellious ! Out in the street the sword bereaves a mother of her children ; Inside the house death is present.
1:21 ש(Sin/Shin) They have heard that I groan , yet there is no one to comfort me . All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you have brought it about. Bring about the day of judgment that you promised so that they may end up like me !
1:22 ת(Tav) Let all their wickedness come before you; afflict them just as you have afflicted me because of all my acts of rebellion . For my groans are many , and my heart is sick with sorrow .
