OET (OET-RV) Look, O Yahweh, because I’m engulfed—my stomach churns.
⇔ My heart is undone within me, because I’ve disobeyed grievously.
⇔ Out in the street, the sword bereaves.
⇔ Inside the house, there’s death.

In this section Jerusalem is portrayed as a woman speaking about herself.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

(Some words not found in UHB: see YHWH that/for/because/then/when distress to=me stomach_of,my churns wrung heart_of,my in/on/at/with,within_of,me that/for/because/then/when to_be_rebellious I_was_rebellious in,street bereaves sword in/on/at/with,house like_the,death )
Jerusalem continues to talk about herself as if she were a woman, but now talks directly to Yahweh.

The word “churn” means to move around violently, normally in a circular rotation. This does not mean the stomach is literally churning, but describes how the woman, representing Jerusalem, feels. Alternate translation: “my insides ache” or “my stomach hurts”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
(Occurrence 0) my heart is disturbed within me
(Some words not found in UHB: see YHWH that/for/because/then/when distress to=me stomach_of,my churns wrung heart_of,my in/on/at/with,within_of,me that/for/because/then/when to_be_rebellious I_was_rebellious in,street bereaves sword in/on/at/with,house like_the,death )
Here the woman, representing Jerusalem, refers to her “heart” to emphasize her feelings. Alternate translation: “my heart is broken” or “I am extremely sad”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) the sword bereaves a mother
(Some words not found in UHB: see YHWH that/for/because/then/when distress to=me stomach_of,my churns wrung heart_of,my in/on/at/with,within_of,me that/for/because/then/when to_be_rebellious I_was_rebellious in,street bereaves sword in/on/at/with,house like_the,death )
The “sword” represents the enemy. Alternate translation: “the enemy kills a mother’s children”

(Occurrence 0) inside the house there is only death
(Some words not found in UHB: see YHWH that/for/because/then/when distress to=me stomach_of,my churns wrung heart_of,my in/on/at/with,within_of,me that/for/because/then/when to_be_rebellious I_was_rebellious in,street bereaves sword in/on/at/with,house like_the,death )
This could mean: (1) “inside the house, everyone is dying” or (2) “and inside the house the dead people are kept”
1:20 The leaders and people of Judah had rebelled (Jer 2:17; 5:6, 23) by rejecting the one true God and his commandments and by resisting the invaders God had sent (2 Kgs 24:1, 20; 2 Chr 36:13).
