1 How doth the city 05892 sit 03427 desolate 0910, that was full 07227 of people 05971! how is she become as a widow 0490! she that was great 07227 among the nations 01471, and princess 08282 among the provinces 04082, how is she become a forced labourer 04522!
2 She weepeth 01058 bitterly 01058 in the night 03915, and her tears 01832 are on her cheeks 03895: among all her lovers 0157 she hath none to comfort 05162 her: all her friends 07453 have dealt treacherously 0898 with her, they are become her enemies 0341.
3 Judah 03063 is gone into captivity 01540 because of affliction 06040, and because of great 07230 servitude 05656: she dwelleth 03427 among the heathen 01471, she findeth 04672 no rest 04494: all her persecutors 07291 overtook 05381 her in the midst of distress 04712. because of great…: Heb. for the greatness of servitude
4 The ways 01870 of Zion 06726 do mourn 057, because none come 0935 to the solemn feasts 04150: all her gates 08179 are desolate 08074: her priests 03548 sigh 0584, her virgins 01330 are afflicted 03013, and she is in bitterness 04843.
5 Her adversaries 06862 are the head 07218, her enemies 0341 prosper 07951; for the LORD 03068 hath afflicted 03013 her for the multitude 07230 of her transgressions 06588: her children 05768 are gone 01980 into captivity 07628 before 06440 the enemy 06862.
6 And from the daughter 01323 of Zion 06726 all her beauty 01926 hath departed 03318: her princes 08269 are become like harts 0354 that find 04672 no pasture 04829, and they are gone 03212 without strength 03581 before 06440 the pursuer 07291.
7 Jerusalem 03389 remembered 02142 in the days 03117 of her affliction 06040 and of her miseries 04788 all her pleasant things 04262 that she had in the days 03117 of old 06924, when her people 05971 fell 05307 into the hand 03027 of the enemy 06862, and none helped 05826 her: the adversaries 06862 saw 07200 her, and mocked 07832 at her sabbaths 04868. pleasant: or, desirable
8 Jerusalem 03389 hath grievously 02399 sinned 02398; therefore she is removed 05206: all that honoured 03513 her despise 02107 her, because they have seen 07200 her nakedness 06172: yea, she sigheth 0584, and turneth 07725 backward 0268. is…: Heb. is become a removing, or, wandering
9 Her filthiness 02932 is in her skirts 07757; she remembereth 02142 not her latter end 0319; therefore she hath been marvellously 06382 abased 03381: she had no comforter 05162. O LORD 03068, behold 07200 my affliction 06040: for the enemy 0341 hath magnified 01431 himself.
10 The adversary 06862 hath spread out 06566 his hand 03027 upon all her pleasant things 04261: for she hath seen 07200 that the heathen 01471 entered 0935 into her sanctuary 04720, whom thou didst command 06680 that they should not enter 0935 into thy congregation 06951. pleasant: or, desirable
11 All her people 05971 sigh 0584, they seek 01245 bread 03899; they have given 05414 their pleasant things 04261, 4262 for food 0400 to relieve 07725 the soul 05315: see 07200, O LORD 03068, and consider 05027; for I am become vile 02151. to…: or, to make the soul to come again
12 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass 05674 by 01870? behold 05027, and see 07200 if there is 03426 any sorrow 04341 like my sorrow 04341, which hath fallen 05953 upon me, which the LORD 03068 hath afflicted 03013 me in the day 03117 of his fierce 02740 anger 0639. Is it…: or, It is nothingpass by: Heb. pass by the way?
13 From above 04791 hath he sent 07971 fire 0784 into my bones 06106, and it prevaileth 07287 against them: he hath spread 06566 a net 07568 for my feet 07272, he hath turned 07725 me back 0268: he hath made 05414 me desolate 08074 and faint 01739 all the day 03117.
14 The yoke 05923 of my transgressions 06588 is bound 08244 by his hand 03027: they are knit together 08276, and come up 05927 upon my neck 06677: he hath made my strength 03581 to fall 03782, the Lord 0136 hath delivered 05414 me into their hands 03027, from whom I am not able 03201 to rise 06965.
15 The Lord 0136 hath trodden under foot 05541 all my mighty 047 men in the midst 07130 of me: he hath called 07121 an assembly 04150 against me to crush 07665 my young men 0970: the Lord 0136 hath trodden 01869 the virgin 01330, the daughter 01323 of Judah 03063, as in a winepress 01660. the virgin…: or, the winepress of the virgin, etc
16 For these things I weep 01058; my eye 05869, my eye 05869 runneth down 03381 with water 04325, because the comforter 05162 that should relieve 07725 my soul 05315 is far 07368 from me: my children 01121 are desolate 08074, because the enemy 0341 prevailed 01396. relieve: Heb. bring back
17 Zion 06726 spreadeth forth 06566 her hands 03027, and there is none to comfort 05162 her: the LORD 03068 hath commanded 06680 concerning Jacob 03290, that his adversaries 06862 should be around 05439 him: Jerusalem 03389 is as a menstruous woman 05079 among them.
18 The LORD 03068 is righteous 06662; for I have rebelled 04784 against his commandment 06310: hear 08085, I pray you, all people 05971, and behold 07200 my sorrow 04341: my virgins 01330 and my young men 0970 are gone 01980 into captivity 07628. commandment: Heb. mouth
19 I called 07121 for my lovers 0157, but they deceived 07411 me: my priests 03548 and my elders 02205 gave up the ghost 01478 in the city 05892, while they sought 01245 their food 0400 to relieve 07725 their souls 05315.
20 Behold 07200, O LORD 03068; for I am in distress 06887: my heart 04578 is troubled 02560; my heart 03820 is turned 02015 within 07130 me; for I have grievously 04784 rebelled 04784: abroad 02351 the sword 02719 bereaveth 07921, at home 01004 there is as death 04194.
21 They have heard 08085 that I sigh 0584: there is none to comfort 05162 me: all my enemies 0341 have heard 08085 of my trouble 07451; they are glad 07797 that thou hast done 06213 it: thou wilt bring 0935 the day 03117 that thou hast called 07121, and they shall be like 03644 me. called: or, proclaimed
22 Let all their wickedness 07451 come 0935 before 06440 thee; and do 05953 to them, as thou hast done 05953 to me for all my transgressions 06588: for my sighs 0585 are many 07227, and my heart 03820 is faint 01742.
1 How hath the Lord 0136 covered 05743 the daughter 01323 of Zion 06726 with a cloud 05743 in his anger 0639, and cast down 07993 from heaven 08064 to the earth 0776 the beauty 08597 of Israel 03478, and remembered 02142 not his footstool 01916, 7272 in the day 03117 of his anger 0639!
2 The Lord 0136 hath swallowed up 01104 all the habitations 04999 of Jacob 03290, and hath not pitied 02550: he hath thrown down 02040 in his wrath 05678 the strong holds 04013 of the daughter 01323 of Judah 03063; he hath brought them down 05060 to the ground 0776: he hath polluted 02490 the kingdom 04467 and its princes 08269. brought…: Heb. made to touch
3 He hath cut off 01438 in his fierce 02750 anger 0639 all the horn 07161 of Israel 03478: he hath drawn 07725 back 0268 his right hand 03225 from before 06440 the enemy 0341, and he burned 01197 against Jacob 03290 like a flaming 03852 fire 0784, which devoureth 0398 on every side 05439.
4 He hath bent 01869 his bow 07198 like an enemy 0341: he stood 05324 with his right hand 03225 as an adversary 06862, and slew 02026 all that were pleasant 04261 to the eye 05869 in the tabernacle 0168 of the daughter 01323 of Zion 06726: he poured out 08210 his fury 02534 like fire 0784. all…: Heb. all the desirable of the eye
5 The Lord 0136 was as an enemy 0341: he hath swallowed up 01104 Israel 03478, he hath swallowed up 01104 all her palaces 0759: he hath destroyed 07843 his strong holds 04013, and hath increased 07235 in the daughter 01323 of Judah 03063 mourning 08386 and lamentation 0592.
6 And he hath violently taken away 02554 his tabernacle 07900, as if it were of a garden 01588: he hath destroyed 07843 his places of the assembly 04150: the LORD 03068 hath caused the solemn feasts 04150 and sabbaths 07676 to be forgotten 07911 in Zion 06726, and in the indignation 02195 of his anger 0639 hath despised 05006 the king 04428 and the priest 03548. tabernacle: or, hedge
7 The Lord 0136 hath cast off 02186 his altar 04196, he hath abhorred 05010 his sanctuary 04720, he hath given up 05462 into the hand 03027 of the enemy 0341 the walls 02346 of her palaces 0759; they have made 05414 a noise 06963 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, as in the day 03117 of a solemn feast 04150. given up: Heb. shut up
8 The LORD 03068 hath purposed 02803 to destroy 07843 the wall 02346 of the daughter 01323 of Zion 06726: he hath stretched out 05186 a line 06957, he hath not withdrawn 07725 his hand 03027 from destroying 01104: therefore he made the rampart 02426 and the wall 02346 to lament 056; they languished 0535 together 03162. destroying: Heb. swallowing up
9 Her gates 08179 are sunk 02883 into the ground 0776; he hath destroyed 06 and broken 07665 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 no vision 02377 from the LORD 03068.
10 The elders 02205 of the daughter 01323 of Zion 06726 sit 03427 upon the ground 0776, and keep silence 01826: they have cast up 05927 dust 06083 upon their heads 07218; they have girded 02296 themselves with sackcloth 08242: the virgins 01330 of Jerusalem 03389 hang down 03381 their heads 07218 to the ground 0776.
11 My eyes 05869 do fail 03615 with tears 01832, my heart 04578 is troubled 02560, my liver 03516 is poured 08210 upon the earth 0776, for the destruction 07667 of the daughter 01323 of my people 05971; because the children 05768 and the sucklings 03243 swoon 05848 in the streets 07339 of the city 07151. swoon: or, faint
12 They say 0559 to their mothers 0517, Where is grain 01715 and wine 03196? when they swooned 05848 as the wounded 02491 in the streets 07339 of the city 05892, when their soul 05315 was poured out 08210 into their mothers 0517’ bosom 02436.
13 What thing shall I take to witness 05749 for thee? what thing 04100 shall I liken 01819 to thee, O daughter 01323 of Jerusalem 03389? what shall I equal 07737 to thee, that I may comfort 05162 thee, O virgin 01330 daughter 01323 of Zion 06726? for thy breach 07667 is great 01419 like the sea 03220: who can heal 07495 thee?
14 Thy prophets 05030 have seen 02372 vain 07723 and foolish things 08602 for thee: and they have not revealed 01540 thy iniquity 05771, to turn away 07725 thy captivity 07622, 7622; but have seen 02372 for thee false 07723 burdens 04864 and causes of banishment 04065.
15 All that pass 05674 by clap 05606 their hands 03709 at thee 01870; they hiss 08319 and shake 05128 their head 07218 at the daughter 01323 of Jerusalem 03389, saying, Is this the city 05892 that men call 0559 The perfection 03632 of beauty 03308, The joy 04885 of the whole earth 0776? by: Heb. by the way
16 All thy enemies 0341 have opened 06475 their mouth 06310 against thee: they hiss 08319 and gnash 02786 the teeth 08127: they say 0559, We have swallowed her up 01104: certainly 0389 this is the day 03117 that we looked for 06960; we have found 04672, we have seen 07200 it.
17 The LORD 03068 hath done 06213 that which he had devised 02161; he hath fulfilled 01214 his word 0565 that he had commanded 06680 in the days 03117 of old 06924: he hath thrown down 02040, and hath not pitied 02550: and he hath caused thy enemy 0341 to rejoice 08055 over thee, he hath set up 07311 the horn 07161 of thy adversaries 06862.
18 Their heart 03820 cried 06817 to the Lord 0136, O wall 02346 of the daughter 01323 of Zion 06726, let tears 01832 run down 03381 like a river 05158 day 03119 and night 03915: give 05414 thyself no rest 06314; let not the apple 01323 of thy eye 05869 cease 01826.
19 Arise 06965, cry out 07442 in the night 03915: in the beginning 07218 of the watches 0821 pour out 08210 thy heart 03820 like water 04325 before 05227 the face 06440 of the Lord 0136: lift up 05375 thy hands 03709 toward him for the life 05315 of thy young children 05768, that faint 05848 for hunger 07458 at the head 07218 of every street 02351.
20 Behold 07200, O LORD 03068, and consider 05027 to whom thou hast done 05953 this 03541. Shall the women 0802 eat 0398 their fruit 06529, children 05768 of a span long 02949? shall the priest 03548 and the prophet 05030 be slain 02026 in the sanctuary 04720 of the Lord 0136? of a span…: or, swaddled with their hands?
21 The young 05288 and the old 02205 lie 07901 on the ground 0776 in the streets 02351: my virgins 01330 and my young men 0970 have fallen 05307 by the sword 02719; thou hast slain 02026 them in the day 03117 of thy anger 0639; thou hast killed 02873, and not pitied 02550.
22 Thou hast called 07121 as in a solemn 04150 day 03117 my terrors 04032 on every side 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 and brought up 07235 hath my enemy 0341 consumed 03615.
1 I am the man 01397 that hath seen 07200 affliction 06040 by the rod 07626 of his wrath 05678.
2 He hath led 05090 me, and brought 03212 me into darkness 02822, but not into light 0216.
3 Surely against me is he turned 07725; he turneth 02015 his hand 03027 against me all the day 03117.
4 My flesh 01320 and my skin 05785 hath he made old 01086; he hath broken 07665 my bones 06106.
5 He hath besieged 01129 me, and surrounded 05362 me with gall 07219 and travail 08513.
6 He hath set 03427 me in dark places 04285, as they that are dead 04191 of old 05769.
7 He hath hedged 01443 me about, that I cannot get out 03318: he hath made my chain 05178 heavy 03513.
8 Also when I cry 02199 and shout 07768, he shutteth out 05640 my prayer 08605.
9 He hath inclosed 01443 my ways 01870 with hewn stone 01496, he hath made my paths 05410 crooked 05753.
10 He was to me as a bear 01677 lying in wait 0693, and as a lion 0738 in secret places 04565.
11 He hath turned aside 05493 my ways 01870, and pulled me in pieces 06582: he hath made 07760 me desolate 08074.
12 He hath bent 01869 his bow 07198, and set 05324 me as a mark 04307 for the arrow 02671.
13 He hath caused the arrows 01121 of his quiver 0827 to enter 0935 into my reins 03629. arrows: Heb. sons
14 I was a derision 07814 to all my people 05971; and their song 05058 all the day 03117.
15 He hath filled 07646 me with bitterness 04844, he hath made me drunk 07301 with wormwood 03939. bitterness: Heb. bitternesses
16 He hath also broken 01638 my teeth 08127 with gravel stones 02687, he hath covered 03728 me with ashes 0665. covered…: or, rolled me in the ashes
17 And thou hast removed 02186 my soul 05315 far off 02186 from peace 07965: I forgot 05382 prosperity 02896. prosperity: Heb. good
18 And I said 0559, My strength 05331 and my hope 08431 hath perished 06 from the LORD 03068:
19 Remembering 02142 my affliction 06040 and my misery 04788, the wormwood 03939 and the gall 07219. Remembering: or, Remember
20 My soul 05315 hath them still 02142 in remembrance 02142, and is humbled 07743 in me. humbled: Heb. bowed
21 This I recall 07725 to my mind 03820, therefore have I hope 03176. recall…: Heb. make to return to my heart
22 It is of the LORD’S 03068 mercies 02617 that we are not consumed 08552, because his compassions 07356 fail 03615 not.
23 They are new 02319 every morning 01242: great 07227 is thy faithfulness 0530.
24 The LORD 03068 is my portion 02506, saith 0559 my soul 05315; therefore will I hope 03176 in him.
25 The LORD 03068 is good 02896 to them that wait 06960 for him, to the soul 05315 that seeketh 01875 him.
26 It is good 02896 that a man should both hope 03175, 2342 and quietly wait 01748 for the salvation 08668 of the LORD 03068.
27 It is good 02896 for a man 01397 that he should bear 05375 the yoke 05923 in his youth 05271.
28 He sitteth 03427 alone 0910 and keepeth silence 01826, because he hath borne 05190 it upon him.
29 He putteth 05414 his mouth 06310 in the dust 06083; if there may be 03426 hope 08615.
30 He giveth 05414 his cheek 03895 to him that smiteth 05221 him: he is filled full 07646 with reproach 02781.
31 For the Lord 0136 will not cast off 02186 for ever 05769:
32 But though he causeth grief 03013, yet will he have compassion 07355 according to the multitude 07230 of his mercies 02617.
33 For he doth not afflict 06031 willingly 03820 nor grieve 03013 the children 01121 of men 0376. willingly: Heb. from his heart
34 To crush 01792 under his feet 07272 all the prisoners 0615 of the earth 0776,
35 To turn aside 05186 the right 04941 of a man 01397 before the face 06440 of the most High 05945, the most High: or, a superior
36 To subvert 05791 a man 0120 in his cause 07379, the Lord 0136 approveth 07200 not. approveth not: or, seeth not
37 Who is he that saith 0559, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord 0136 commandeth 06680 it not?
38 Out of the mouth 06310 of the most High 05945 proceedeth 03318 not evil 07451 and good 02896?
39 Why doth a living 02416 man 0120 complain 0596, a man 01397 for the punishment of his sins 02399? complain: or, murmur
40 Let us search 02664 and try 02713 our ways 01870, and turn again 07725 to the LORD 03068.
41 Let us lift up 05375 our heart 03824 with our hands 03709 to God 0410 in the heavens 08064.
42 We 05168 have transgressed 06586 and have rebelled 04784: thou hast not pardoned 05545.
43 Thou hast covered 05526 with anger 0639, and persecuted 07291 us: thou hast slain 02026, thou hast not pitied 02550.
44 Thou hast covered 05526 thyself with a cloud 06051, that our prayer 08605 should not pass through 05674.
45 Thou hast made 07760 us as the offscouring 05501 and refuse 03973 in the midst 07130 of the people 05971.
46 All our enemies 0341 have opened 06475 their mouths 06310 against us.
47 Fear 06343 and a snare 06354 is come upon us, desolation 07612 and destruction 07667.
48 My eye 05869 runneth down 03381 with rivers 06388 of water 04325 for the destruction 07667 of the daughter 01323 of my people 05971.
49 My eye 05869 trickleth down 05064, and ceaseth 01820 not, without any intermission 02014,
50 Till the LORD 03068 shall look down 08259, and behold 07200 from heaven 08064.
51 My eye 05869 affecteth 05953 my heart 05315 because of all the daughters 01323 of my city 05892. mine heart: Heb. my soulbecause…: or, more than all
52 My enemies 0341 chased 06679 me hard 06679, like a bird 06833, without cause 02600.
53 They have cut off 06789 my life 02416 in the dungeon 0953, and cast 03034 a stone 068 upon me.
54 Waters 04325 flowed over 06687 my head 07218; then I said 0559, I am cut off 01504.
55 I called 07121 upon thy name 08034, O LORD 03068, out of the low 08482 dungeon 0953.
56 Thou hast heard 08085 my voice 06963: hide 05956 not thy ear 0241 at my breathing 07309, at my cry 07775.
57 Thou drewest near 07126 in the day 03117 that I called 07121 upon thee: thou saidst 0559, Fear 03372 not.
58 O Lord 0136, thou hast pleaded 07378 the causes 07379 of my soul 05315; thou hast redeemed 01350 my life 02416.
59 O LORD 03068, thou hast seen 07200 my wrong 05792: judge 08199 thou my cause 04941.
60 Thou hast seen 07200 all their vengeance 05360 and all their imaginations 04284 against me.
61 Thou hast heard 08085 their reproach 02781, O LORD 03068, and all their imaginations 04284 against me;
62 The lips 08193 of those that rose up 06965 against me, and they plot 01902 against me all the day 03117.
63 Behold 05027 their sitting down 03427, and their rising up 07012; I am their music 04485.
64 Render 07725 to them a recompence 01576, O LORD 03068, according to the work 04639 of their hands 03027.
65 Give 05414 them sorrow 04044 of heart 03820, thy curse 08381 to them. sorrow…: or, obstinacy of heart
66 Persecute 07291 and destroy 08045 them in anger 0639 from under the heavens 08064 of the LORD 03068.
1 How is the gold 02091 become dim 06004! how is the most 02896 fine gold 03800 changed 08132! the stones 068 of the sanctuary 06944 are poured out 08210 at the head 07218 of every street 02351.
2 The precious 03368 sons 01121 of Zion 06726, comparable 05537 to fine gold 06337, how are they esteemed 02803 as earthen 02789 pitchers 05035, the work 04639 of the hands 03027 of the potter 03335!
3 Even the sea monsters 08577 draw out 02502 the breast 07699, they nurse 03243 their young ones 01482: the daughter 01323 of my people 05971 is become cruel 0393, like the ostriches 03283 in the wilderness 04057. sea…: or, sea calves
4 The tongue 03956 of the nursing child 03243 cleaveth 01692 to the roof of his mouth 02441 for thirst 06772: the young children 05768 ask 07592 bread 03899, and no man breaketh 06566 it to them.
5 They that fed 0398 delicately 04574 are desolate 08074 in the streets 02351: they that were brought up 0539 in scarlet 08438 embrace 02263 dunghills 0830.
6 For the punishment of the iniquity 05771 of the daughter 01323 of my people 05971 is greater 01431 than the punishment 02403 of the sin of Sodom 05467, that was overthrown 02015 as in a moment 07281, with no hands 03027 laid 02342 on her. punishment of the iniquity: or, iniquity
7 Her Nazarites 05139 were purer 02141 than snow 07950, they were whiter 06705 than milk 02461, they were more ruddy 0119 in body 06106 than rubies 06443, their polishing 01508 was of sapphire 05601:
8 Their visage 08389 is blacker 02821 than a coal 07815; they are not known 05234 in the streets 02351: their skin 05785 cleaveth 06821 to their bones 06106; it is withered 03001, it is become like a stick 06086. blacker…: Heb. darker than blackness
9 They that are slain 02491 with the sword 02719 are better 02896 than they that are slain 02491 with hunger 07458: for these 01992 pine away 02100, stricken 01856 through for lack of the fruits 08570 of the field 07704. pine…: Heb. flow out
10 The hands 03027 of the tenderhearted 07362 women 0802 have boiled 01310 their own children 03206: they were their food 01262 in the destruction 07667 of the daughter 01323 of my people 05971.
11 The LORD 03068 hath accomplished 03615 his fury 02534; he hath poured out 08210 his fierce 02740 anger 0639, and hath kindled 03341 a fire 0784 in Zion 06726, and it hath devoured 0398 its foundations 03247.
12 The kings 04428 of the earth 0776, and all the inhabitants 03427 of the world 08398, would not have believed 0539 that the adversary 06862 and the enemy 0341 should have entered 0935 into the gates 08179 of Jerusalem 03389.
13 For the sins 02403 of her prophets 05030, and the iniquities 05771 of her priests 03548, that have shed 08210 the blood 01818 of the just 06662 in the midst 07130 of her,
14 They have wandered 05128 as blind 05787 men in the streets 02351, they have polluted 01351 themselves with blood 01818, so that men could 03201 not 03808 touch 05060 their garments 03830. so…: or, in that they could not but touch
15 They cried 07121 to them, Depart 05493 ye; it is unclean 02931; depart 05493, depart 05493, touch 05060 not: when they fled away 05132 and wandered 05128, they said 0559 among the heathen 01471, They shall no more 03254 sojourn 01481 there. it…: or, ye polluted
16 The anger 06440 of the LORD 03068 hath divided 02505 them; he will no longer 03254 regard 05027 them: they respected 05375 not the persons 06440 of the priests 03548, they favoured 02603 not the elders 02205. anger: or, face
17 As for us, our eyes 05869 as yet failed 03615 for our vain 01892 help 05833: in our watching 06836 we have watched 06822 for a nation 01471 that could not save 03467 us.
18 They hunt 06679 our steps 06806, that we cannot go 03212 in our streets 07339: our end 07093 is near 07126, our days 03117 are fulfilled 04390; for our end 07093 is come 0935.
19 Our persecutors 07291 are swifter 07031 than the eagles 05404 of heaven 08064: they pursued 01814 us upon the mountains 02022, they laid wait 0693 for us in the wilderness 04057.
20 The breath 07307 of our nostrils 0639, the anointed 04899 of the LORD 03068, was taken 03920 in their pits 07825, of whom we said 0559, Under his shadow 06738 we shall live 02421 among the heathen 01471.
21 Rejoice 07797 and be glad 08055, O daughter 01323 of Edom 0123, that dwellest 03427 in the land 0776 of Uz 05780; the cup 03563 also shall pass 05674 through to thee: thou shalt be drunk 07937, and shalt make thyself naked 06168.
22 The punishment of thy iniquity 05771 is accomplished 08552, O daughter 01323 of Zion 06726; he will no more 03254 carry thee away into captivity 01540: he will visit 06485 thy iniquity 05771, O daughter 01323 of Edom 0123; he will disclose 01540 thy sins 02403. The…: or, Thine iniquitydiscover…: or, carry thee captive for thy sins
1 Remember 02142, O LORD 03068, what is come upon us: consider 05027, and behold 07200 our reproach 02781.
2 Our inheritance 05159 is turned 02015 to strangers 02114, our houses 01004 to aliens 05237.
3 We are orphans 03490 and fatherless 0369, 1, our mothers 0517 are as widows 0490.
4 We drank 08354 our water 04325 for money 03701; our wood 06086 is sold 0935, 4242 to us. is…: Heb. cometh for price
5 Our necks 06677 are under persecution 07291: we labour 03021, and have no rest 05117. Our…: Heb. On our necks are we persecuted
6 We have given 05414 the hand 03027 to the Egyptians 04714, and to the Assyrians 0804, to be satisfied 07646 with bread 03899.
7 Our fathers 01 have sinned 02398, and are not 0369; and we have borne 05445 their iniquities 05771.
8 Servants 05650 have ruled 04910 over us: there is none that doth deliver 06561 us out of their hand 03027.
9 We got 0935 our bread 03899 with the peril of our lives 05315 because 06440 of the sword 02719 of the wilderness 04057.
10 Our skin 05785 was black 03648 like an oven 08574 because 06440 of the terrible 02152 famine 07458. terrible: or, terrors, or, storms
11 They ravished 06031 the women 0802 in Zion 06726, and the maids 01330 in the cities 05892 of Judah 03063.
12 Princes 08269 are hanged 08518 by their hand 03027: the faces 06440 of elders 02205 were not honoured 01921.
13 They took 05375 the young men 0970 to grind 02911, and the children 05288 fell 03782 under the wood 06086.
14 The elders 02205 have ceased 07673 from the gate 08179, the young men 0970 from their music 05058.
15 The joy 04885 of our heart 03820 hath ceased 07673; our dance 04234 is turned 02015 into mourning 060.
16 The crown 05850 is fallen 05307 from our head 07218: woe 0188 to us, that we have sinned 02398! The…: Heb. The crown of our head is fallen
17 For this our heart 03820 is faint 01739; for these things our eyes 05869 are dim 02821.
18 Because of the mountain 02022 of Zion 06726, which is desolate 08074, the foxes 07776 walk 01980 upon it.
19 Thou, O LORD 03068, remainest 03427 for ever 05769; thy throne 03678 from generation 01755 to generation 01755.
20 Why dost thou forget 07911 us for ever 05331, and forsake 05800 us so long 0753 time 03117? so…: Heb. for length of days?
21 Turn 07725 thou us to thee, O LORD 03068, and we shall be turned 07725; renew 02318 our days 03117 as of old 06924.
22 But thou hast utterly 03988 rejected 03988 us; thou art very 03966 angry 07107 with us. But…: or, For wilt thou utterly reject us?
