Lam 1:20 | MHM | STEP | v. 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." Jerusalem turns to God in her agony, confessing her deep distress and her grievous rebellion. The pain is both inward and outward—her heart is in turmoil, and everywhere she looks there is death and destruction. Yet, even in judgment, she appeals to God’s compassion .
