Lamentations 1:1--2:22

How doth the city
<05892>
sit
<03427> (8804)
solitary
<0910>_,
[that was] full
<07227>
of people
<05971>_!
[how] is she become as a widow
<0490>_!
she [that was] great
<07227>
among the nations
<01471>_,
[and] princess
<08282>
among the provinces
<04082>_,
[how] is she become tributary
<04522>_!
She weepeth
<01058> (8799)
sore
<01058> (8800)
in the night
<03915>_,
and her tears
<01832>
[are] on her cheeks
<03895>_:
among all her lovers
<0157> (8802)
she hath none to comfort
<05162> (8764)
[her]: all her friends
<07453>
have dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)
with her, they are become her enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
Judah
<03063>
is gone into captivity
<01540> (8804)
because of affliction
<06040>_,
and because of great
<07230>
servitude
<05656>_:
she dwelleth
<03427> (8804)
among the heathen
<01471>_,
she findeth
<04672> (8804)
no rest
<04494>_:
all her persecutors
<07291> (8802)
overtook
<05381> (8689)
her between the straits
<04712>_.
{because of great...: Heb. for the greatness of servitude}
The ways
<01870>
of Zion
<06726>
do mourn
<057>_,
because none come
<0935> (8802)
to the solemn feasts
<04150>_:
all her gates
<08179>
are desolate
<08074> (8802)_:
her priests
<03548>
sigh
<0584> (8737)_,
her virgins
<01330>
are afflicted
<03013> (8737)_,
and she [is] in bitterness
<04843> (8804)_.
Her adversaries
<06862>
are the chief
<07218>_,
her enemies
<0341> (8802)
prosper
<07951> (8804)_;
for the LORD
<03068>
hath afflicted
<03013> (8689)
her for the multitude
<07230>
of her transgressions
<06588>_:
her children
<05768>
are gone
<01980> (8804)
into captivity
<07628>
before
<06440>
the enemy
<06862>_.
And from the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>
all her beauty
<01926>
is departed
<03318> (8799)_:
her princes
<08269>
are become like harts
<0354>
[that] find
<04672> (8804)
no pasture
<04829>_,
and they are gone
<03212> (8799)
without strength
<03581>
before
<06440>
the pursuer
<07291> (8802)_.
Jerusalem
<03389>
remembered
<02142> (8804)
in the days
<03117>
of her affliction
<06040>
and of her miseries
<04788>
all her pleasant things
<04262>
that she had in the days
<03117>
of old
<06924>_,
when her people
<05971>
fell
<05307> (8800)
into the hand
<03027>
of the enemy
<06862>_,
and none did help
<05826> (8802)
her: the adversaries
<06862>
saw
<07200> (8804)
her, [and] did mock
<07832> (8804)
at her sabbaths
<04868>_.
{pleasant: or, desirable}
Jerusalem
<03389>
hath grievously
<02399>
sinned
<02398> (8804)_;
therefore she is removed
<05206>_:
all that honoured
<03513> (8764)
her despise
<02107> (8689)
her, because they have seen
<07200> (8804)
her nakedness
<06172>_:
yea, she sigheth
<0584> (8738)_,
and turneth
<07725> (8799)
backward
<0268>_.
{is...: Heb. is become a removing, or, wandering}
Her filthiness
<02932>
[is] in her skirts
<07757>_;
she remembereth
<02142> (8804)
not her last end
<0319>_;
therefore she came down
<03381> (8799)
wonderfully
<06382>_:
she had no comforter
<05162> (8764)_.
O LORD
<03068>_,
behold
<07200> (8798)
my affliction
<06040>_:
for the enemy
<0341> (8802)
hath magnified
<01431> (8689)
[himself].
The adversary
<06862>
hath spread out
<06566> (8804)
his hand
<03027>
upon all her pleasant things
<04261>_:
for she hath seen
<07200> (8804)
[that] the heathen
<01471>
entered
<0935> (8804)
into her sanctuary
<04720>_,
whom thou didst command
<06680> (8765)
[that] they should not enter
<0935> (8799)
into thy congregation
<06951>_.
{pleasant: or, desirable}
All her people
<05971>
sigh
<0584> (8737)_,
they seek
<01245> (8764)
bread
<03899>_;
they have given
<05414> (8804)
their pleasant things
<04261> (8675) <04262>
for meat
<0400>
to relieve
<07725> (8687)
the soul
<05315>_:
see
<07200> (8798)_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
and consider
<05027> (8685)_;
for I am become vile
<02151> (8802)_.
{to...: or, to make the soul to come again}
[Is it] nothing to you, all ye that pass
<05674> (8802)
by
<01870>_?
behold
<05027> (8685)_,
and see
<07200> (8798)
if there be
<03426>
any sorrow
<04341>
like unto my sorrow
<04341>_,
which is done
<05953> (8776)
unto me, wherewith the LORD
<03068>
hath afflicted
<03013> (8689)
[me] in the day
<03117>
of his fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>_.
{Is it...: or, It is nothing} {pass by: Heb. pass by the way?}
From above
<04791>
hath he sent
<07971> (8804)
fire
<0784>
into my bones
<06106>_,
and it prevaileth
<07287> (8799)
against them: he hath spread
<06566> (8804)
a net
<07568>
for my feet
<07272>_,
he hath turned
<07725> (8689)
me back
<0268>_:
he hath made
<05414> (8804)
me desolate
<08074> (8802)
[and] faint
<01739>
all the day
<03117>_.
The yoke
<05923>
of my transgressions
<06588>
is bound
<08244> (8738)
by his hand
<03027>_:
they are wreathed
<08276> (8691)_,
[and] come up
<05927> (8804)
upon my neck
<06677>_:
he hath made my strength
<03581>
to fall
<03782> (8689)_,
the Lord
<0136>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
me into [their] hands
<03027>_,
[from whom] I am not able
<03201> (8799)
to rise up
<06965> (8800)_.
The Lord
<0136>
hath trodden under foot
<05541> (8765)
all my mighty
<047>
[men] in the midst
<07130>
of me: he hath called
<07121> (8804)
an assembly
<04150>
against me to crush
<07665> (8800)
my young men
<0970>_:
the Lord
<0136>
hath trodden
<01869> (8804)
the virgin
<01330>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Judah
<03063>_,
[as] in a winepress
<01660>_.
{the virgin...: or, the winepress of the virgin, etc}
For these [things] I weep
<01058> (8802)_;
mine eye
<05869>_,
mine eye
<05869>
runneth down
<03381> (8802)
with water
<04325>_,
because the comforter
<05162> (8764)
that should relieve
<07725> (8688)
my soul
<05315>
is far
<07368> (8804)
from me: my children
<01121>
are desolate
<08074> (8802)_,
because the enemy
<0341> (8802)
prevailed
<01396> (8804)_.
{relieve: Heb. bring back}
Zion
<06726>
spreadeth forth
<06566> (8765)
her hands
<03027>_,
[and there is] none to comfort
<05162> (8764)
her: the LORD
<03068>
hath commanded
<06680> (8765)
concerning Jacob
<03290>_,
[that] his adversaries
<06862>
[should be] round about
<05439>
him: Jerusalem
<03389>
is as a menstruous woman
<05079>
among them.
The LORD
<03068>
is righteous
<06662>_;
for I have rebelled
<04784> (8804)
against his commandment
<06310>_:
hear
<08085> (8798)_,
I pray you, all people
<05971>_,
and behold
<07200> (8798)
my sorrow
<04341>_:
my virgins
<01330>
and my young men
<0970>
are gone
<01980> (8804)
into captivity
<07628>_.
{commandment: Heb. mouth}
I called
<07121> (8804)
for my lovers
<0157> (8764)_,
[but] they deceived
<07411> (8765)
me: my priests
<03548>
and mine elders
<02205>
gave up the ghost
<01478> (8804)
in the city
<05892>_,
while they sought
<01245> (8765)
their meat
<0400>
to relieve
<07725> (8686)
their souls
<05315>_.
Behold
<07200> (8798)_,
O LORD
<03068>_;
for I [am] in distress
<06887> (8804)_:
my bowels
<04578>
are troubled
<02560> (8777)_;
mine heart
<03820>
is turned
<02015> (8738)
within
<07130>
me; for I have grievously
<04784> (8800)
rebelled
<04784> (8804)_:
abroad
<02351>
the sword
<02719>
bereaveth
<07921> (8765)_,
at home
<01004>
[there is] as death
<04194>_.
They have heard
<08085> (8804)
that I sigh
<0584> (8737)_:
[there is] none to comfort
<05162> (8764)
me: all mine enemies
<0341> (8802)
have heard
<08085> (8804)
of my trouble
<07451>_;
they are glad
<07797> (8804)
that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
[it]: thou wilt bring
<0935> (8689)
the day
<03117>
[that] thou hast called
<07121> (8804)_,
and they shall be like
<03644>
unto me. {called: or, proclaimed}
Let all their wickedness
<07451>
come
<0935> (8799)
before
<06440>
thee; and do
<05953> (8778)
unto them, as thou hast done
<05953> (8782)
unto me for all my transgressions
<06588>_:
for my sighs
<0585>
[are] many
<07227>_,
and my heart
<03820>
[is] faint
<01742>_.
How hath the Lord
<0136>
covered
<05743> (0)
the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>
with a cloud
<05743> (8686)
in his anger
<0639>_,
[and] cast down
<07993> (8689)
from heaven
<08064>
unto the earth
<0776>
the beauty
<08597>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and remembered
<02142> (8804)
not his footstool
<01916> <07272>
in the day
<03117>
of his anger
<0639>_!
The Lord
<0136>
hath swallowed up
<01104> (8765)
all the habitations
<04999>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and hath not pitied
<02550> (8804)_:
he hath thrown down
<02040> (8804)
in his wrath
<05678>
the strong holds
<04013>
of the daughter
<01323>
of Judah
<03063>_;
he hath brought [them] down
<05060> (8689)
to the ground
<0776>_:
he hath polluted
<02490> (8765)
the kingdom
<04467>
and the princes
<08269>
thereof. {brought...: Heb. made to touch}
He hath cut off
<01438> (8804)
in [his] fierce
<02750>
anger
<0639>
all the horn
<07161>
of Israel
<03478>_:
he hath drawn
<07725> (8689)
back
<0268>
his right hand
<03225>
from before
<06440>
the enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
and he burned
<01197> (8799)
against Jacob
<03290>
like a flaming
<03852>
fire
<0784>_,
[which] devoureth
<0398> (8804)
round about
<05439>_.
He hath bent
<01869> (8804)
his bow
<07198>
like an enemy
<0341> (8802)_:
he stood
<05324> (8737)
with his right hand
<03225>
as an adversary
<06862>_,
and slew
<02026> (8799)
all [that were] pleasant
<04261>
to the eye
<05869>
in the tabernacle
<0168>
of the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_:
he poured out
<08210> (8804)
his fury
<02534>
like fire
<0784>_.
{all...: Heb. all the desirable of the eye}
The Lord
<0136>
was as an enemy
<0341> (8802)_:
he hath swallowed up
<01104> (8765)
Israel
<03478>_,
he hath swallowed up
<01104> (8765)
all her palaces
<0759>_:
he hath destroyed
<07843> (8765)
his strong holds
<04013>_,
and hath increased
<07235> (8686)
in the daughter
<01323>
of Judah
<03063>
mourning
<08386>
and lamentation
<0592>_.
And he hath violently taken away
<02554> (8799)
his tabernacle
<07900>_,
as [if it were of] a garden
<01588>_:
he hath destroyed
<07843> (8765)
his places of the assembly
<04150>_:
the LORD
<03068>
hath caused the solemn feasts
<04150>
and sabbaths
<07676>
to be forgotten
<07911> (8765)
in Zion
<06726>_,
and hath despised
<05006> (8799)
in the indignation
<02195>
of his anger
<0639>
the king
<04428>
and the priest
<03548>_.
{tabernacle: or, hedge}
The Lord
<0136>
hath cast off
<02186> (8804)
his altar
<04196>_,
he hath abhorred
<05010> (8765)
his sanctuary
<04720>_,
he hath given up
<05462> (8689)
into the hand
<03027>
of the enemy
<0341> (8802)
the walls
<02346>
of her palaces
<0759>_;
they have made
<05414> (8804)
a noise
<06963>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
as in the day
<03117>
of a solemn feast
<04150>_.
{given up: Heb. shut up}
The LORD
<03068>
hath purposed
<02803> (8804)
to destroy
<07843> (8687)
the wall
<02346>
of the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_:
he hath stretched out
<05186> (8804)
a line
<06957>_,
he hath not withdrawn
<07725> (8689)
his hand
<03027>
from destroying
<01104> (8763)_:
therefore he made the rampart
<02426>
and the wall
<02346>
to lament
<056> (8686)_;
they languished
<0535> (8797)
together
<03162>_.
{destroying: Heb. swallowing up}
Her gates
<08179>
are sunk
<02883> (8804)
into the ground
<0776>_;
he hath destroyed
<06> (8765)
and broken
<07665> (8765)
her bars
<01280>_:
her king
<04428>
and her princes
<08269>
[are] among the Gentiles
<01471>_:
the law
<08451>
[is] no [more]; her prophets
<05030>
also find
<04672> (8804)
no vision
<02377>
from the LORD
<03068>_.
The elders
<02205>
of the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>
sit
<03427> (8799)
upon the ground
<0776>_,
[and] keep silence
<01826> (8799)_:
they have cast up
<05927> (8689)
dust
<06083>
upon their heads
<07218>_;
they have girded
<02296> (8804)
themselves with sackcloth
<08242>_:
the virgins
<01330>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
hang down
<03381> (8689)
their heads
<07218>
to the ground
<0776>_.
Mine eyes
<05869>
do fail
<03615> (8804)
with tears
<01832>_,
my bowels
<04578>
are troubled
<02560> (8777)_,
my liver
<03516>
is poured
<08210> (8738)
upon the earth
<0776>_,
for the destruction
<07667>
of the daughter
<01323>
of my people
<05971>_;
because the children
<05768>
and the sucklings
<03243> (8802)
swoon
<05848> (8736)
in the streets
<07339>
of the city
<07151>_.
{swoon: or, faint}
They say
<0559> (8799)
to their mothers
<0517>_,
Where [is] corn
<01715>
and wine
<03196>_?
when they swooned
<05848> (8692)
as the wounded
<02491>
in the streets
<07339>
of the city
<05892>_,
when their soul
<05315>
was poured out
<08210> (8692)
into their mothers
<0517>_'
bosom
<02436>_.
What thing shall I take to witness
<05749> (8686) (8675) <05749> (8799)
for thee? what thing
<04100>
shall I liken
<01819> (8762)
to thee, O daughter
<01323>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_?
what shall I equal
<07737> (8686)
to thee, that I may comfort
<05162> (8762)
thee, O virgin
<01330>
daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_?
for thy breach
<07667>
[is] great
<01419>
like the sea
<03220>_:
who can heal
<07495> (8799)
thee?
Thy prophets
<05030>
have seen
<02372> (8804)
vain
<07723>
and foolish things
<08602>
for thee: and they have not discovered
<01540> (8765)
thine iniquity
<05771>_,
to turn away
<07725> (8687)
thy captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>_;
but have seen
<02372> (8799)
for thee false
<07723>
burdens
<04864>
and causes of banishment
<04065>_.
All that pass
<05674> (8802)
by clap
<05606> (8804)
[their] hands
<03709>
at thee
<01870>_;
they hiss
<08319> (8804)
and wag
<05128> (8686)
their head
<07218>
at the daughter
<01323>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
[saying, Is] this the city
<05892>
that [men] call
<0559> (8799)
The perfection
<03632>
of beauty
<03308>_,
The joy
<04885>
of the whole earth
<0776>_?
{by: Heb. by the way}
All thine enemies
<0341> (8802)
have opened
<06475> (8804)
their mouth
<06310>
against thee: they hiss
<08319> (8804)
and gnash
<02786> (8799)
the teeth
<08127>_:
they say
<0559> (8804)_,
We have swallowed [her] up
<01104> (8765)_:
certainly
<0389>
this [is] the day
<03117>
that we looked for
<06960> (8765)_;
we have found
<04672> (8804)_,
we have seen
<07200> (8804)
[it].
The LORD
<03068>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
[that] which he had devised
<02161> (8804)_;
he hath fulfilled
<01214> (8765)
his word
<0565>
that he had commanded
<06680> (8765)
in the days
<03117>
of old
<06924>_:
he hath thrown down
<02040> (8804)_,
and hath not pitied
<02550> (8804)_:
and he hath caused [thine] enemy
<0341> (8802)
to rejoice
<08055> (8762)
over thee, he hath set up
<07311> (8689)
the horn
<07161>
of thine adversaries
<06862>_.
Their heart
<03820>
cried
<06817> (8804)
unto the Lord
<0136>_,
O wall
<02346>
of the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_,
let tears
<01832>
run down
<03381> (8685)
like a river
<05158>
day
<03119>
and night
<03915>_:
give
<05414> (8799)
thyself no rest
<06314>_;
let not the apple
<01323>
of thine eye
<05869>
cease
<01826> (8799)_.
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
cry out
<07442> (8798)
in the night
<03915>_:
in the beginning
<07218>
of the watches
<0821>
pour out
<08210> (8798)
thine heart
<03820>
like water
<04325>
before
<05227>
the face
<06440>
of the Lord
<0136>_:
lift up
<05375> (8798)
thy hands
<03709>
toward him for the life
<05315>
of thy young children
<05768>_,
that faint
<05848> (8803)
for hunger
<07458>
in the top
<07218>
of every street
<02351>_.
Behold
<07200> (8798)_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
and consider
<05027> (8685)
to whom thou hast done
<05953> (8782)
this
<03541>_.
Shall the women
<0802>
eat
<0398> (8799)
their fruit
<06529>_,
[and] children
<05768>
of a span long
<02949>_?
shall the priest
<03548>
and the prophet
<05030>
be slain
<02026> (8735)
in the sanctuary
<04720>
of the Lord
<0136>_?
{of a span...: or, swaddled with their hands?}
The young
<05288>
and the old
<02205>
lie
<07901> (8804)
on the ground
<0776>
in the streets
<02351>_:
my virgins
<01330>
and my young men
<0970>
are fallen
<05307> (8804)
by the sword
<02719>_;
thou hast slain
<02026> (8804)
[them] in the day
<03117>
of thine anger
<0639>_;
thou hast killed
<02873> (8804)_,
[and] not pitied
<02550> (8804)_.
Thou hast called
<07121> (8799)
as in a solemn
<04150>
day
<03117>
my terrors
<04032>
round about
<05439>_,
so that in the day
<03117>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
anger
<0639>
none escaped
<06412>
nor remained
<08300>_:
those that I have swaddled
<02946> (8765)
and brought up
<07235> (8765)
hath mine enemy
<0341> (8802)
consumed
<03615> (8765)_.
