Lamentations 1:20

רְאֵ֤ה יְהוָה֙ כִּי צַר לִ֔י מֵעַ֖י חֳמַרְמָ֑רוּ נֶהְפַּ֤ךְ לִבִּי֙ בְּקִרְבִּ֔י כִּ֥י מָר֖וֹ מָרִ֑יתִי מִחוּץ֙ שִׁכְּלָה חֶ֔רֶב בַּבַּ֖יִת כַּמָּֽוֶת׃
rʾeh yhvah kiy ṣar liy meʿay ḥomarmarv nehpak libiy bqirbiy kiy marvo mariytiy miḥvṣ shiklah ḥereb babayit kamavet
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

Look, O LORD, for I am in distress; my stomach churns; my heart is wrung within me, because I have been very rebellious. In the street the sword bereaves; in the house it is like death.
