20“O Lord, see the distress I’m in! 

My stomach is churning. 

My heart is pounding because I’ve been very bitter. 

In the streets swords kill my children. 

Inside the houses it’s like death.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“Look, O Lord, for I am in distress;

my stomach churns;

my heart is wrung within me,

because I have been very rebellious.

In the street the sword bereaves;

in the house it is like death.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“See, Lord, how distressed I am!

I am in torment within,

and in my heart I am disturbed,

for I have been most rebellious.

Outside, the sword bereaves;

inside, there is only death.

my heart is broken,

for I have been very rebellious.

Outside, the sword takes the children;

inside, there is death.

My heart is broken

and my soul despairs,

for I have rebelled against you.

In the streets the sword kills,

and at home there is only death.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

See, O Yahweh, that I am in distress;

my stomach is in torment,

my heart has turned inside me

because I have certainly rebelled.

From outside a sword brings bereavement,

inside the house it is like death.

Behold, O Lord; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled;

Mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled:

Abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death.
