¹ H136How hath the LordH5743coveredH1323the daughterH6726of ZionH5743with a cloud[H8686] H639in his angerH7993, and cast down[H8689] H8064from heavenH776unto the earthH8597the beautyH3478of IsraelH2142, and remembered[H8804] H1916not his footstoolH7272 H3117in the dayH639of his anger!

² H136The LordH1104hath swallowed up[H8765] H4999all the habitationsH3290of JacobH2550, and hath not pitied[H8804] H2040: he hath thrown down[H8804] H5678in his wrathH4013the strong holdsH1323of the daughterH3063of JudahH5060; he hath brought them down[H8689] H776to the groundH2490: he hath polluted[H8765] H4467the kingdomH8269and the princes thereof.

³ H1438He hath cut off[H8804] H2750in his fierceH639angerH7161all the hornH3478of IsraelH7725: he hath drawn[H8689] H268backH3225his right handH6440from beforeH341the enemy[H8802] H1197, and he burned[H8799] H3290against JacobH3852like a flamingH784fireH398, which devoureth[H8804] H5439round about.

⁴ H1869He hath bent[H8804] H7198his bowH341like an enemy[H8802] H5324: he stood[H8737] H3225with his right handH6862as an adversaryH2026, and slew[H8799] H4261all that were pleasantH5869to the eyeH168in the tabernacleH1323of the daughterH6726of ZionH8210: he poured out[H8804] H2534his furyH784like fire.

⁵ H136The LordH341was as an enemy[H8802] H1104: he hath swallowed up[H8765] H3478IsraelH1104, he hath swallowed up[H8765] H759all her palacesH7843: he hath destroyed[H8765] H4013his strong holdsH7235, and hath increased[H8686] H1323in the daughterH3063of JudahH8386mourningH592and lamentation.

⁶ H2554And he hath violently taken away[H8799] H7900his tabernacleH1588, as if it were of a gardenH7843: he hath destroyed[H8765] H4150his places of the assemblyH3068: the LORDH4150hath caused the solemn feastsH7676and sabbathsH7911to be forgotten[H8765] H6726in ZionH5006, and hath despised[H8799] H2195in the indignationH639of his angerH4428the kingH3548and the priest.

⁷ H136The LordH2186hath cast off[H8804] H4196his altarH5010, he hath abhorred[H8765] H4720his sanctuaryH5462, he hath given up[H8689] H3027into the handH341of the enemy[H8802] H2346the wallsH759of her palacesH5414; they have made[H8804] H6963a noiseH1004in the houseH3068of the LORDH3117, as in the dayH4150of a solemn feast.

⁸ H3068The LORDH2803hath purposed[H8804] H7843to destroy[H8687] H2346the wallH1323of the daughterH6726of ZionH5186: he hath stretched out[H8804] H6957a lineH7725, he hath not withdrawn[H8689] H3027his handH1104from destroying[H8763] H2426: therefore he made the rampartH2346and the wallH56to lament[H8686] H535; they languished[H8797] H3162together.

⁹ H8179Her gatesH2883are sunk[H8804] H776into the groundH6; he hath destroyed[H8765] H7665and broken[H8765] H1280her barsH4428: her kingH8269and her princesH1471are among the GentilesH8451: the lawH5030is no more; her prophetsH4672also find[H8804] H2377no visionH3068from the LORD.

¹⁰ H2205The eldersH1323of the daughterH6726of ZionH3427sit[H8799] H776upon the groundH1826, and keep silence[H8799] H5927: they have cast up[H8689] H6083dustH7218upon their headsH2296; they have girded[H8804] H8242themselves with sackclothH1330: the virginsH3389of JerusalemH3381hang down[H8689] H7218their headsH776to the ground.

¹¹ H5869Mine eyesH3615do fail[H8804] H1832with tearsH4578, my bowelsH2560are troubled[H8777] H3516, my liverH8210is poured[H8738] H776upon the earthH7667, for the destructionH1323of the daughterH5971of my peopleH5768; because the childrenH3243and the sucklings[H8802] H5848swoon[H8736] H7339in the streetsH7151of the city.

¹² H559They say[H8799] H517to their mothersH1715, Where is cornH3196and wineH5848? when they swooned[H8692] H2491as the woundedH7339in the streetsH5892of the cityH5315, when their soulH8210was poured out[H8692] H517into their mothersH2436' bosom.

¹³ H5749What thing shall I take to witness[H8686] [H8675] H5749 [H8799] H4100for thee? what thingH1819shall I liken[H8762] H1323to thee, O daughterH3389of JerusalemH7737? what shall I equal[H8686] H5162to thee, that I may comfort[H8762] H1330thee, O virginH1323daughterH6726of ZionH7667? for thy breachH1419is greatH3220like the seaH7495: who can heal[H8799]  thee?

¹⁴ H5030Thy prophetsH2372have seen[H8804] H7723vainH8602and foolish thingsH1540for thee: and they have not discovered[H8765] H5771thine iniquityH7725, to turn away[H8687] H7622thy captivity[H8675] H7622 H2372; but have seen[H8799] H7723for thee falseH4864burdensH4065and causes of banishment.

¹⁵ H5674All that pass[H8802] H5606by clap[H8804] H3709their handsH1870at theeH8319; they hiss[H8804] H5128and wag[H8686] H7218their headH1323at the daughterH3389of JerusalemH5892, saying, Is this the cityH559that men call[H8799] H3632The perfectionH3308of beautyH4885, The joyH776of the whole earth?

¹⁶ H341All thine enemies[H8802] H6475have opened[H8804] H6310their mouthH8319against thee: they hiss[H8804] H2786and gnash[H8799] H8127the teethH559: they say[H8804] H1104, We have swallowed her up[H8765] H389: certainlyH3117this is the dayH6960that we looked for[H8765] H4672; we have found[H8804] H7200, we have seen[H8804]  it .

¹⁷ H3068The LORDH6213hath done[H8804] H2161that which he had devised[H8804] H1214; he hath fulfilled[H8765] H565his wordH6680that he had commanded[H8765] H3117in the daysH6924of oldH2040: he hath thrown down[H8804] H2550, and hath not pitied[H8804] H341: and he hath caused thine enemy[H8802] H8055to rejoice[H8762] H7311over thee, he hath set up[H8689] H7161the hornH6862of thine adversaries.

¹⁸ H3820Their heartH6817cried[H8804] H136unto the LordH2346, O wallH1323of the daughterH6726of ZionH1832, let tearsH3381run down[H8685] H5158like a riverH3119dayH3915and nightH5414: give[H8799] H6314thyself no restH1323; let not the appleH5869of thine eyeH1826cease[H8799] .

¹⁹ H6965Arise[H8798] H7442, cry out[H8798] H3915in the nightH7218: in the beginningH821of the watchesH8210pour out[H8798] H3820thine heartH4325like waterH5227beforeH6440the faceH136of the LordH5375: lift up[H8798] H3709thy handsH5315toward him for the lifeH5768of thy young childrenH5848, that faint[H8803] H7458for hungerH7218in the topH2351of every street.

²⁰ H7200Behold[H8798] H3068, O LORDH5027, and consider[H8685] H5953to whom thou hast done[H8782] H3541thisH802. Shall the womenH398eat[H8799] H6529their fruitH5768, and childrenH2949of a span longH3548? shall the priestH5030and the prophetH2026be slain[H8735] H4720in the sanctuaryH136of the Lord?

²¹ H5288The youngH2205and the oldH7901lie[H8804] H776on the groundH2351in the streetsH1330: my virginsH970and my young menH5307are fallen[H8804] H2719by the swordH2026; thou hast slain[H8804] H3117them in the dayH639of thine angerH2873; thou hast killed[H8804] H2550, and not pitied[H8804] .

²² H7121Thou hast called[H8799] H4150as in a solemnH3117dayH4032my terrorsH5439round aboutH3117, so that in the dayH3068of the LORD'SH639angerH6412none escapedH8300nor remainedH2946: those that I have swaddled[H8765] H7235and brought up[H8765] H341hath mine enemy[H8802] H3615consumed[H8765] .
