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.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 1 of Lamentations. The first lament ends by asking God to see Jerusalem’s suffering and also judge those who rejoiced over its downfall. The desire for justice does not erase the acknowledgment of personal sin. The prayer leaves ultimate retribution in God’s hands.

Man hört's wohl, daß ich seufze, und habe doch keinen Tröster; alle meine Feinde hören mein Unglück und freuen sich; das machst du. So laß doch den Tag kommen, den du ausrufest, daß es ihnen gehen soll wie mir.
Oyeron que gemía, y no hay consolador para mí: Todos mis enemigos han oído mi mal, se han holgado de que tú lo hiciste. Harás venir el día que has anunciado, y serán como yo.
On a entendu mes soupirs, et personne ne m'a consolée; Tous mes ennemis ont appris mon malheur, Ils se sont réjouis de ce que tu l'as causé; Tu amèneras, tu publieras le jour où ils seront comme moi.
Altri mi ode sospirare; io non ho alcuno che mi consoli; I miei nemici hanno udito il mio male, e se ne son rallegrati; Perciocchè tu l’hai fatto; Quando tu avrai fatto venire il giorno che tu hai pubblicato, saranno simili a me.
Ouviram que eu suspiro, mas não tenho quem me console; todos os meus inimigos que souberam do meu mal folgam, porque tu o fizeste; mas, em trazendo tu o dia que apregoaste, serão como eu.
有人聽見我嘆息 , 卻無人安慰我! 我所有的仇敵聽見我的患難就喜樂, 因這是你所做的。 你使你所宣告的日子來臨, 願他們像我一樣。
