H136
How has the Lord
H5743
covered
H1323
the daughter
H6726
of Zion
H5743
with a cloud
H639
in his anger,
H7993
and cast down
H8064
from heaven
H776
unto the earth
H8597
the beauty
H3478
of Israel,
H2142
and remembered
H1916
not his footstool
H3117
in the day
H639
of his anger!
2
H136
The Lord
H1104
has swallowed up
H4999
all the habitations
H3290
of Jacob,
H2550
and has not pitied:
H2040
he has thrown down
H5678
in his wrath
H4013
the strong holds
H1323
of the daughter
H3063
of Judah;
H5060
he has brought them down
H776
to the ground:
H2490
he has polluted
H4467
the kingdom
H8269
and the princes there.
3
H1438
He has cut off
H2750
in his fierce
H639
anger
H7161
all the horn
H3478
of Israel:
H7725
he has drawn
H268
back
H3225
his right hand
H6440
from before
H341
the enemy,
H1197
and he burned
H3290
against Jacob
H3852
like a flaming
H784
fire,
H398
which devours
H5439
round about.
4
H1869
He has bent
H7198
his bow
H341
like a enemy:
H5324
he stood
H3225
with his right hand
H6862
as a adversary,
H2026
and killed
H4261
all that were pleasant
H5869
to the eye
H168
in the tabernacle
H1323
of the daughter
H6726
of Zion:
H8210
he poured out
H2534
his fury
H784
like fire.
5
H136
The Lord
H341
was as an enemy:
H1104
he has swallowed up
H3478
Israel,
H1104
he has swallowed up
H759
all her palaces:
H7843
he has destroyed
H4013
his strong holds,
H7235
and has increased
H1323
in the daughter
H3063
of Judah
H8386
mourning
H592
and lamentation.
6
H2554
And he has violently taken away
H7900
his tabernacle,
H1588
as if it were of a garden:
H7843
he has destroyed
H4150
his places of the assembly:
H3068
the Lord
H4150
has caused the solemn feasts
H7676
and sabbaths
H7911
to be forgotten
H6726
in Zion,
H5006
and has despised
H2195
in the indignation
H639
of his anger
H4428
the king
H3548
and the priest.
7
H136
The Lord
H2186
has cast off
H4196
his altar,
H5010
he has abhorred
H4720
his sanctuary,
H5462
he has given up
H3027
into the hand
H341
of the enemy
H2346
the walls
H759
of her palaces;
H5414
they have made
H6963
a noise
H1004
in the house
H3068
of the Lord,
H3117
as in the day
H4150
of a solemn feast.
8
H3068
The Lord
H2803
has purposed
H7843
to destroy
H2346
the wall
H1323
of the daughter
H6726
of Zion:
H5186
he has stretched out
H6957
a line,
H7725
he has not withdrawn
H3027
his hand
H1104
from destroying:
H2426
therefore he made the rampart
H2346
and the wall
H56
to lament;
H535
they languished
H3162
together.
9
H8179
Her gates
H2883
are sunk
H776
into the ground;
H6
he has destroyed
H7665
and broken
H1280
her bars:
H4428
her king
H8269
and her princes
H1471
are among the Nations:
H8451
the law
H5030
is no more; her prophets
H4672
also find
H2377
no vision
H3068
from the Lord.
10
H2205
The elders
H1323
of the daughter
H6726
of Zion
H3427
sit
H776
upon the ground,
H1826
and keep silence:
H5927
they have cast up
H6083
dust
H7218
upon their heads;
H2296
they have girded
H8242
themselves with sackcloth:
H1330
the virgins
H3389
of Jerusalem
H3381
hang down
H7218
their heads
H776
to the ground.
11
H5869
My eyes
H3615
do fail
H1832
with tears,
H4578
my bowels
H2560
are troubled,
H3516
my liver
H8210
is poured
H776
upon the earth,
H7667
for the destruction
H1323
of the daughter
H5971
of my people;
H5768
because the sons
H3243
and the sucklings
H5848
swoon
H7339
in the streets
H7151
of the city.
12
H559
They say
H517
to their mothers,
H1715
Where is corn
H3196
and wine?
H5848
when they swooned
H2491
as the wounded
H7339
in the streets
H5892
of the city,
H5315
when their soul
H8210
was poured out
H517
into their mothers'
H2436
bosom.
13
H5749
What thing shall I take to witness
H4100
for you? what thing
H1819
shall I compare
H1323
to you, O daughter
H3389
of Jerusalem?
H7737
what shall I equal
H5162
to you, that I may comfort
H1330
you, O virgin
H1323
daughter
H6726
of Zion?
H7667
for your breach
H1419
is great
H3220
like the sea:
H7495
who can heal you?
14
H5030
Your prophets
H2372
have seen
H7723
vain
H8602
and foolish things
H1540
for you: and they have not discovered
H5771
your iniquity,
H7725
to turn away
H7622
your captivity;
H2372
but have seen
H7723
for you false
H4864
burdens
H4065
and causes of banishment.
15
H5674
All that pass
H5606
by clap
H3709
their hands
H1870
at you;
H8319
they hiss
H5128
and wag
H7218
their head
H1323
at the daughter
H3389
of Jerusalem,
H5892
saying, Is this the city
H559
that men call
H3632
The perfection
H3308
of beauty,
H4885
The joy
H776
of the whole earth?
16
H341
All your enemies
H6475
have opened
H6310
their mouth
H8319
against you: they hiss
H2786
and gnash
H8127
the teeth:
H559
they say,
H1104
We have swallowed her up:
H389
certainly
H3117
this is the day
H6960
that we looked for;
H4672
we have found,
H7200
we have seen it.
17
H3068
The Lord
H6213
has done
H2161
that which he had devised;
H1214
he has fulfilled
H565
his word
H6680
that he had commanded
H3117
in the days
H6924
of old:
H2040
he has thrown down,
H2550
and has not pitied:
H341
and he has caused your enemy
H8055
to rejoice
H7311
over you, he has set up
H7161
the horn
H6862
of your adversaries.
18
H3820
Their heart
H6817
cried
H136
unto the Lord,
H2346
O wall
H1323
of the daughter
H6726
of Zion,
H1832
let tears
H3381
run down
H5158
like a river
H3119
day
H3915
and night:
H5414
give
H6314
yourself no rest;
H1323
let not the apple
H5869
of your eye
H1826
cease.
19
H6965
Arise,
H7442
cry out
H3915
in the night:
H7218
in the beginning
H821
of the watches
H8210
pour out
H3820
your heart
H4325
like water
H5227
before
H6440
the face
H136
of the Lord:
H5375
lift up
H3709
your hands
H5315
toward him for the life
H5768
of your young sons,
H5848
that faint
H7458
for hunger
H7218
in the top
H2351
of every street.
20
H7200
Behold,
H3068
O Lord,
H5027
and consider
H5953
to whom you have done
H3541
this.
H802
Shall the women
H398
eat
H6529
their fruit,
H5768
and sons
H2949
of a span long?
H3548
shall the priest
H5030
and the prophet
H2026
be slain
H4720
in the sanctuary
H136
of the Lord?
