Massacres in the streets, starvation in the houses.

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.

Lord, see how I am in distress.

I am churning within;

my heart is broken,

for I have been very rebellious.

Outside, the sword takes the children;

inside, there is death.

NLTNew Living Translation

“Lord, see my anguish!

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.
