Ya, TUHAN, lihatlah, betapa besar ketakutanku, betapa gelisah jiwaku; hatiku terbolak-balik di dalam dadaku, karena sudah melampaui batas aku memberontak; di luar keturunanku dibinasakan oleh pedang, di dalam rumah oleh penyakit sampar.
Ya Tuhan, lihat apalah bagaimana kepicikan aku! segala isi perutku gementarlah dan hatikupun terbaliklah dalam dadaku, sebab aku sudah mendurhaka sangat begitu. Di luar adalah pedang membuluskan orang, dan di dalam adalah kematian belaka.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Behold, O Lord, for I [am] in distress,.... Thus she turns from one to another; sometimes she addresses strangers, people that pass by; sometimes she calls to her lovers; and at other times to God, which is best of all, to have pity and compassion on her in her distress; and from whom it may be most expected, who is a God of grace and mercy:
my bowels are troubled; as the sea, agitated by winds, which casts up mire and dirt; or as any waters, moved by anything whatsoever, become thick and muddy; or like wine in fermentation; so the word l, in the Arabic language, signifies, expressive of great disturbance, confusion, and uneasiness:
mine heart is turned within me; has no rest nor peace:
for I have grievously rebelled; against God and his word; her sins were greatly aggravated, and these lay heavy on her mind and conscience, and greatly distressed her:
abroad the sword bereaveth; this, and what follows in the next clause, describe the state and condition of the Jews, while the city was besieged; without it, the sword of the Chaldeans bereaved mothers of their children, and children of their parents, and left them desolate:
at home [there is] as death; within the city, and in the houses of it, the famine raged, which was as death, and worse than immediate death; it was a lingering one: or, "in the house [was] certain death" m; for the "caph" here is not a mere note of similitude, but of certainty and reality; to abide at home was sure and certain death, nothing else could be expected. The Targum is
"within the famine kills like the destroying angel that is appointed over death;''
see Hebrews 2:14; and Jarchi interprets it of the fear of demons and noxious spirits, and the angels of death.
l "fermentavit, commiscuit, alteravit, turbavique [mentem]", Castel. col. 1294. m בבית כמות "in domo mors ipsa", Munster; "plane mors"; Junius & Tremellius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Troubled - Or, inflamed with sorrow.
Turned within me - Agitated violently.
At home there is as death - i. e. “in the house” there are pale pining forms, wasting with hunger, and presenting the appearance of death.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 20. Abroad the sword bereaveth — WAR is through the country; and at home death; the pestilence and famine rage in the city; calamity in every shape is fallen upon me.
Virgil represents the calamities of Troy under the same image: -
______ Nec soli poenas dant sanguine Teucri:
Quondam etiam victis redit in praecordia virtus;
Victoresque cadunt Danai. Crudelis ubique
Luctus, ubique Pavor, et plurima mortis imago.
AEneid. lib. ii. 366.
"Not only Trojans fall; but, in their turn,
The vanquished triumph, and the victors mourn.
Ours take new courage from despair and night;
Confused the fortune is, confused the fight.
All parts resound with tumults, plaints, and fears;
And grisly death in sundry shapes appears."
DRYDEN.
So Milton -
"_____________________ Despair
Tended the sick, busiest from couch to couch;
And over them triumphant Death his dart Shook."
Par. Lost, B. xi. 489.
Jeremiah, Jeremiah 9:21, uses the same image: -
Death is come up into our windows:
He hath entered our palaces,
To cut off the infants without,
And the young men in our streets.
So Silius Italicus, II. 548: -
Mors graditur, vasto pandens cava guttura rletu,
Casuroque inhians populo.
"Death stalks along, and opens his hideous throat to
gulp down the people."
