ץ (Tsade)
1:18 The Lord is right to judge me!112
Yes, I rebelled against his commands.113
Please listen, all you nations,114
and look at my suffering!
My young women and men
have gone into exile.
1:19 I called for my lovers,115
but they had deceived me.
My priests and my elders
perished in the city.
Truly they had116 searched for food
to117 keep themselves118 alive.119
1:20 Look, O Lord! I am distressed;120
my stomach is in knots!121
My heart is pounding122 inside me.
Yes, I was terribly rebellious!123
Out in the street the sword bereaves a mother of her children;124
Inside the house death is present.125
1:21 They have heard126 that I groan,
yet there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
they are glad that you127 have brought it about.128
Bring about129 the day of judgment130 that you promised131
so that132 they may end up133 like me!
1:22 Let all their wickedness come before you;
afflict134 them
just as you have afflicted135 me136
because of all my acts of rebellion.137
For my groans are many,
and my heart is sick with sorrow.138
