Lamentations 1:15

The Lord has cut off 1 All my strong men from the midst of me: 1 He has summoned against me a time 1 For crushing my choice men: 1 The Lord has trodden a winepress 1 For the virgin daughter of Judah: 1 For these things I weep. 1

Updated Brenton Septuagint

In The King James Version

The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.

In Context

14He has watched over my sins, 1 They are twined about my hands, 1 They have come up on my neck: 1 My strength has failed; 1 For the Lord has laid pains on my hands, 1 I shall not be able to stand. 1

16Mine eye has poured out water, 1 Because he that should comfort me, 1 That should restore my soul, 1 Has been removed far from me: 1 My sons have been destroyed, 1 Because the enemy has prevailed. 1
