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.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 1 of Lamentations. The failed search for help among allies and leaders reveals the fragility of human securities. Priests, elders, and other sources of support have disappeared or cannot save. The plea over inner anguish shows that the external disaster has penetrated deeply into the city’s consciousness.

Ach Herr, siehe doch, wie bange ist mir, daß mir's im Leibe davon weh tut! Mein Herz wallt mir in meinem Leibe, weil ich so gar ungehorsam gewesen bin. Draußen hat mich das Schwert und im Hause hat mich der Tod zur Witwe gemacht.
Mira, oh Jehová, que estoy atribulada: mis entrañas rugen, Mi corazón está trastornado en medio de mí; porque me rebelé desaforadamente: De fuera deshijó el cuchillo, de dentro parece una muerte.
Mira, Jehová, estoy angustiada; mis entrañas hierven y mi corazón se revuelve dentro de mí, porque he sido muy rebelde. Afuera, la espada me deja sin hijos; dentro de la casa, es como la muerte.
Eternel, regarde ma détresse! Mes entrailles bouillonnent, Mon coeur est bouleversé au dedans de moi, Car j'ai été rebelle. Au dehors l'épée a fait ses ravages, au dedans la mort.
Signore, riguarda; perciocchè io son distretta; Le mie interiora si conturbano; il mio cuore si riversa dentro di me; Perciocchè in vero io sono stata ribelle; La spada ha dipopolato di fuori, e dentro non vi è stato altro che morte.
Olha, SENHOR, porque estou angustiada; turbadas estão as minhas entranhas; o meu coração está transtornado dentro de mim, porque gravemente me rebelei; fora me desfilhou a espada, em casa está a morte.
耶和華啊,求你觀看, 因為我在急難中; 我的心腸煩亂, 我心在我裏面翻轉, 因我大大背逆。 在外,刀劍使人喪亡; 在家,猶如死亡。
