1 # How hath the Lord <0136> covered <05743> <00> 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>!
2 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.
3 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>.
4 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>.
5 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>.
6 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>.
7 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>.
8 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>.
9 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> .
10 # 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>.
11 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>.
12 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>.
13 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?
14 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>.
15 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>?
16 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.
17 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>.
18 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) .
19 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>.
20 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>?
21 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).
22 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) .
