A LAMENTATION OVER SIYON
Oh that it be, that my head be as waters; and my eyes as a fountain of tears; and I weep day and night for the pierced of the daughter of my people! 2 Oh that it be, that I be in the wilderness as a lodging place of caravans; and I forsake my people and go from them; for they all adultererize - a private assembly who deals covertly: 3 and they bend their tongues as their bow for falsehood: and as for trustworthiness, they prevail not mightily on the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil and they know me not - an oracle of Yah Veh. 4 On guard, every man, of his friend and confide not in any brother: for in tripping the heel every brother trips the heel; and every friend walks with talebearers: 5 and every man mocks his friend and words not the truth: they teach their tongue to word falsehoods and weary themselves to pervert. 6 You settle midst deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me - an oracle of Yah Veh. 7 So thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, Behold, I refine them, and proof them; for how work I at the face of the daughter of my people? 8 Their tongue is a slaughtering arrow; wording deceit: wording shalom to his friend with his mouth, but setting his inwards to lurk. 9 Visit I them not for these? - an oracle of Yah Veh Avenge I not my soul on such a goyim as this? 10 For the mountains I lift a weeping and lamentation; and for the folds of the wilderness a lamentation: because they burned so that man neither passes through; nor hears the voice of the chattel; both the flyer of the heavens and the animal flee - gone. 11 and I give Yeru Shalem to heaps and a habitation of monsters; and I work the cities of Yah Hudah desolate without settler. 12 Who is the wise man, who discerns? And he to whom the mouth of Yah Veh words? And who tells? Why destructs the land and burns as a wilderness so that no one passes through? 13 And Yah Veh says, Because they forsake my torah which I gave at their face, and neither hearken to my voice nor walk therein; 14 and walk after the warp of their own heart and after Baalim which their fathers taught them. 15 So thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, Elohim of Yisra El; Behold, I feed them, this people, with wormwood; and give them water of gall to drink: 16 and I scatter them among the goyim whom neither they nor their fathers knew: and I send a sword after them until I finish them off. 17 Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, You, discern; and call for the lamenters to come; and send for the wise to come: 18 Hasten them to lift a lamentation for us so that our eyes drip with tears and our eyelids flow with waters. 19 For a voice of lamentation is heard from Siyon, How ravaged! We shame mightily because we forsook the land; because they cast out our tabernacles. 20 Yet hear the word of Yah Veh, O you women, and your ear take the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters lamentation and every woman her friend lamentation. 21 For death ascends into our windows; it enters into our palaces to cut off the sucklings from the outways, and the youths from the broadways. 22 Word thus, - an oracle of Yah Veh The carcases of humanity falls as dung on the face of the field; and as the omer after the harvester: and no one gathers. 23 Thus says Yah Veh, O that the wise not halal in his wisdom - the mighty not halal in his might; the rich not halal in his riches: 24 But he who halals, halal in this, that he comprehends and knows me; that I - Yah Veh work mercy, judgment, and justness in the earth for in these I delight - an oracle of Yah Veh. 25 Behold, days come, - an oracle of Yah Veh that I visit on them who are circumcised in the foreskin 26 - Misrayim and Yah Hudah and Edom and the sons of Ammon and Moab and all who chop the edges - who settle in the wilderness: for all these goyim are uncircumcised, and all the house of Yisra El are uncircumcised in the heart.
