“The LORD is righteous, for I have rebelled against his commandment.
Please hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow.
My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
“I called for my lovers, but they deceived me.
My priests and my elders gave up the spirit in the city, while they sought food for themselves to refresh their souls.
“Look, LORD; for I am in distress.
My heart is troubled.
My heart turns over within me, for I have grievously rebelled.
Abroad, the sword bereaves.
At home, it is like death.
