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]
.
