1 H136 How hath the Lord H5743 covered H1323 the daughter H6726 of Zion H5743 with a cloud [H8686] H639 in his anger H7993 , and cast down [H8689] H8064 from heaven H776 unto the earth H8597 the beauty H3478 of Israel H2142 , and remembered [H8804] H1916 not his footstool H7272 H3117 in the day H639 of his anger!

2 H136 The Lord H1104 hath swallowed up [H8765] H4999 all the habitations H3290 of Jacob H2550 , and hath not pitied [H8804] H2040 : he hath thrown down [H8804] H5678 in his wrath H4013 the strong holds H1323 of the daughter H3063 of Judah H5060 ; he hath brought them down [H8689] H776 to the ground H2490 : he hath polluted [H8765] H4467 the kingdom H8269 and the princes thereof.

3 H1438 He hath cut off [H8804] H2750 in his fierce H639 anger H7161 all the horn H3478 of Israel H7725 : he hath drawn [H8689] H268 back H3225 his right hand H6440 from before H341 the enemy [H8802] H1197 , and he burned [H8799] H3290 against Jacob H3852 like a flaming H784 fire H398 , which devoureth [H8804] H5439 round about.

4 H1869 He hath bent [H8804] H7198 his bow H341 like an enemy [H8802] H5324 : he stood [H8737] H3225 with his right hand H6862 as an adversary H2026 , and slew [H8799] H4261 all that were pleasant H5869 to the eye H168 in the tabernacle H1323 of the daughter H6726 of Zion H8210 : he poured out [H8804] H2534 his fury H784 like fire.

5 H136 The Lord H341 was as an enemy [H8802] H1104 : he hath swallowed up [H8765] H3478 Israel H1104 , he hath swallowed up [H8765] H759 all her palaces H7843 : he hath destroyed [H8765] H4013 his strong holds H7235 , and hath increased [H8686] H1323 in the daughter H3063 of Judah H8386 mourning H592 and lamentation.

6 H2554 And he hath violently taken away [H8799] H7900 his tabernacle H1588 , as if it were of a garden H7843 : he hath destroyed [H8765] H4150 his places of the assembly H3068 : the LORD H4150 hath caused the solemn feasts H7676 and sabbaths H7911 to be forgotten [H8765] H6726 in Zion H5006 , and hath despised [H8799] H2195 in the indignation H639 of his anger H4428 the king H3548 and the priest.

7 H136 The Lord H2186 hath cast off [H8804] H4196 his altar H5010 , he hath abhorred [H8765] H4720 his sanctuary H5462 , he hath given up [H8689] H3027 into the hand H341 of the enemy [H8802] H2346 the walls H759 of her palaces H5414 ; they have made [H8804] 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 hath purposed [H8804] H7843 to destroy [H8687] H2346 the wall H1323 of the daughter H6726 of Zion H5186 : he hath stretched out [H8804] H6957 a line H7725 , he hath not withdrawn [H8689] H3027 his hand H1104 from destroying [H8763] H2426 : therefore he made the rampart H2346 and the wall H56 to lament [H8686] H535 ; they languished [H8797] H3162 together.

9 H8179 Her gates H2883 are sunk [H8804] H776 into the ground H6 ; he hath destroyed [H8765] H7665 and broken [H8765] H1280 her bars H4428 : her king H8269 and her princes H1471 are among the Gentiles H8451 : the law H5030 is no more; her prophets H4672 also find [H8804] H2377 no vision H3068 from the LORD.

10 H2205 The elders H1323 of the daughter H6726 of Zion H3427 sit [H8799] H776 upon the ground H1826 , and keep silence [H8799] H5927 : they have cast up [H8689] H6083 dust H7218 upon their heads H2296 ; they have girded [H8804] H8242 themselves with sackcloth H1330 : the virgins H3389 of Jerusalem H3381 hang down [H8689] H7218 their heads H776 to the ground.

11 H5869 Mine eyes H3615 do fail [H8804] H1832 with tears H4578 , my bowels H2560 are troubled [H8777] H3516 , my liver H8210 is poured [H8738] H776 upon the earth H7667 , for the destruction H1323 of the daughter H5971 of my people H5768 ; because the children H3243 and the sucklings [H8802] H5848 swoon [H8736] H7339 in the streets H7151 of the city.

12 H559 They say [H8799] H517 to their mothers H1715 , Where is corn H3196 and wine H5848 ? when they swooned [H8692] H2491 as the wounded H7339 in the streets H5892 of the city H5315 , when their soul H8210 was poured out [H8692] H517 into their mothers H2436 ' bosom.

13 H5749 What thing shall I take to witness [H8686] [H8675] H5749 [H8799] H4100 for thee? what thing H1819 shall I liken [H8762] H1323 to thee, O daughter H3389 of Jerusalem H7737 ? what shall I equal [H8686] H5162 to thee, that I may comfort [H8762] H1330 thee, O virgin H1323 daughter H6726 of Zion H7667 ? for thy breach H1419 is great H3220 like the sea H7495 : who can heal [H8799] thee?

14 H5030 Thy prophets H2372 have seen [H8804] H7723 vain H8602 and foolish things H1540 for thee: and they have not discovered [H8765] H5771 thine iniquity H7725 , to turn away [H8687] H7622 thy captivity [H8675] H7622 H2372 ; but have seen [H8799] H7723 for thee false H4864 burdens H4065 and causes of banishment.

15 H5674 All that pass [H8802] H5606 by clap [H8804] H3709 their hands H1870 at thee H8319 ; they hiss [H8804] H5128 and wag [H8686] H7218 their head H1323 at the daughter H3389 of Jerusalem H5892 , saying, Is this the city H559 that men call [H8799] H3632 The perfection H3308 of beauty H4885 , The joy H776 of the whole earth?

16 H341 All thine enemies [H8802] H6475 have opened [H8804] H6310 their mouth H8319 against thee: they hiss [H8804] H2786 and gnash [H8799] H8127 the teeth H559 : they say [H8804] H1104 , We have swallowed her up [H8765] H389 : certainly H3117 this is the day H6960 that we looked for [H8765] H4672 ; we have found [H8804] H7200 , we have seen [H8804] it .

17 H3068 The LORD H6213 hath done [H8804] H2161 that which he had devised [H8804] H1214 ; he hath fulfilled [H8765] H565 his word H6680 that he had commanded [H8765] H3117 in the days H6924 of old H2040 : he hath thrown down [H8804] H2550 , and hath not pitied [H8804] H341 : and he hath caused thine enemy [H8802] H8055 to rejoice [H8762] H7311 over thee, he hath set up [H8689] H7161 the horn H6862 of thine adversaries.

18 H3820 Their heart H6817 cried [H8804] H136 unto the Lord H2346 , O wall H1323 of the daughter H6726 of Zion H1832 , let tears H3381 run down [H8685] H5158 like a river H3119 day H3915 and night H5414 : give [H8799] H6314 thyself no rest H1323 ; let not the apple H5869 of thine eye H1826 cease [H8799] .

19 H6965 Arise [H8798] H7442 , cry out [H8798] H3915 in the night H7218 : in the beginning H821 of the watches H8210 pour out [H8798] H3820 thine heart H4325 like water H5227 before H6440 the face H136 of the Lord H5375 : lift up [H8798] H3709 thy hands H5315 toward him for the life H5768 of thy young children H5848 , that faint [H8803] H7458 for hunger H7218 in the top H2351 of every street.

20 H7200 Behold [H8798] H3068 , O LORD H5027 , and consider [H8685] H5953 to whom thou hast done [H8782] H3541 this H802 . Shall the women H398 eat [H8799] H6529 their fruit H5768 , and children H2949 of a span long H3548 ? shall the priest H5030 and the prophet H2026 be slain [H8735] H4720 in the sanctuary H136 of the Lord?

21 H5288 The young H2205 and the old H7901 lie [H8804] H776 on the ground H2351 in the streets H1330 : my virgins H970 and my young men H5307 are fallen [H8804] H2719 by the sword H2026 ; thou hast slain [H8804] H3117 them in the day H639 of thine anger H2873 ; thou hast killed [H8804] H2550 , and not pitied [H8804] .

22 H7121 Thou hast called [H8799] H4150 as in a solemn H3117 day H4032 my terrors H5439 round about H3117 , so that in the day H3068 of the LORD'S H639 anger H6412 none escaped H8300 nor remained H2946 : those that I have swaddled [H8765] H7235 and brought up [H8765] H341 hath mine enemy [H8802] H3615 consumed [H8765] .
