Lamentations 1:20-22
New American Standard Bible 1995
20 “See, O Lord, for I am in distress;
My [a](A)spirit is greatly troubled;
My heart is overturned within me,
For I have been very (B)rebellious.
In the street the sword [b]slays;
In the house it is like death.
21 “They have heard that I (C)groan;
There is no one to comfort me;
All my enemies have heard of my [c]calamity;
They are (D)glad that You have done it.
Oh, that You would bring the day which You have proclaimed,
That they may become (E)like me.
22 “Let all their wickedness come before You;
And (F)deal with them as You have dealt with me
For all my transgressions;
For my groans are many and my heart is faint.”

King James Version
20 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.
21 They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me.
22 Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
