Lamentations 1.19 ~ Ghosts

I called for my lovers, 
But they screened by calls.
But they deceived me,
They said they loved me.
My priests and mine elders,
The trusted ones.
Gave up the ghost, 
The seplechure of roses.
In the city, 
While they sought their meat.
A sacrifice for the people,
To relieve their souls.
