Lamentations 4 - King James Bible with Strong Numbers

¹ H2091How is the goldH6004become dim[H8714] H2896! how is the mostH3800fine goldH8132changed[H8799] H68! the stonesH6944of the sanctuaryH8210are poured out[H8691] H7218in the topH2351of every street.

² H3368The preciousH1121sonsH6726of ZionH5537, comparable[H8794] H6337to fine goldH2803, how are they esteemed[H8738] H2789as earthenH5035pitchersH4639, the workH3027of the handsH3335of the potter[H8802] !

³ H8577Even the sea monstersH2502draw out[H8804] H7699the breastH3243, they give suck[H8689] H1482to their young onesH1323: the daughterH5971of my peopleH393is become cruelH3283, like the ostrichesH4057in the wilderness.

⁴ H3956The tongueH3243of the sucking child[H8802] H1692cleaveth[H8804] H2441to the roof of his mouthH6772for thirstH5768: the young childrenH7592ask[H8804] H3899breadH6566, and no man breaketh[H8802]  it unto them.

⁵ H398They that did feed[H8802] H4574delicatelyH8074are desolate[H8738] H2351in the streetsH539: they that were brought up[H8803] H8438in scarletH2263embrace[H8765] H830dunghills.

⁶ H5771For the punishment of the iniquityH1323of the daughterH5971of my peopleH1431is greater[H8799] H2403than the punishmentH5467of the sin of SodomH2015, that was overthrown[H8803] H7281as in a momentH3027, and no handsH2342stayed[H8804]  on her.

⁷ H5139Her NazaritesH2141were purer[H8804] H7950than snowH6705, they were whiter[H8804] H2461than milkH119, they were more ruddy[H8804] H6106in bodyH6443than rubiesH1508, their polishingH5601was of sapphire:

⁸ H8389Their visageH2821is blacker[H8804] H7815than a coalH5234; they are not known[H8738] H2351in the streetsH5785: their skinH6821cleaveth[H8804] H6106to their bonesH3001; it is withered[H8804] H6086, it is become like a stick.

⁹ H2491They that be slainH2719with the swordH2896are betterH2491than they that be slainH7458with hungerH1992: for theseH2100pine away[H8799] H1856, stricken[H8794] H8570through for want of the fruitsH7704of the field.

¹⁰ H3027The handsH7362of the pitifulH802womenH1310have sodden[H8765] H3206their own childrenH1262: they were their meat[H8763] H7667in the destructionH1323of the daughterH5971of my people.

¹¹ H3068The LORDH3615hath accomplished[H8765] H2534his furyH8210; he hath poured out[H8804] H2740his fierceH639angerH3341, and hath kindled[H8686] H784a fireH6726in ZionH398, and it hath devoured[H8799] H3247the foundations thereof.

¹² H4428The kingsH776of the earthH3427, and all the inhabitants[H8802] H8398of the worldH539, would not have believed[H8689] H6862that the adversaryH341and the enemy[H8802] H935should have entered[H8799] H8179into the gatesH3389of Jerusalem.

¹³ H2403For the sinsH5030of her prophetsH5771, and the iniquitiesH3548of her priestsH8210, that have shed[H8802] H1818the bloodH6662of the justH7130in the midst of her,

¹⁴ H5128They have wandered[H8804] H5787as blindH2351men in the streetsH1351, they have polluted[H8738] H1818themselves with bloodH3201, so that men could[H8799] H3808notH5060touch[H8799] H3830their garments.

¹⁵ H7121They cried[H8804] H5493unto them, Depart[H8798] H2931ye; it is uncleanH5493; depart[H8798] H5493, depart[H8798] H5060, touch[H8799] H5132not: when they fled away[H8804] H5128and wandered[H8804] H559, they said[H8804] H1471among the heathenH3254, They shall no more[H8686] H1481sojourn[H8800]  there .

¹⁶ H6440The angerH3068of the LORDH2505hath divided[H8765] H3254them; he will no more[H8686] H5027regard[H8687] H5375them: they respected[H8804] H6440not the personsH3548of the priestsH2603, they favoured[H8804] H2205not the elders.

¹⁷ H5869As for us, our eyesH3615as yet failed[H8799] H1892for our vainH5833helpH6836: in our watchingH6822we have watched[H8765] H1471for a nationH3467that could not save[H8686]  us .

¹⁸ H6679They hunt[H8804] H6806our stepsH3212, that we cannot go[H8800] H7339in our streetsH7093: our endH7126is near[H8804] H3117, our daysH4390are fulfilled[H8804] H7093; for our endH935is come[H8804] .

¹⁹ H7291Our persecutors[H8802] H7031are swifterH5404than the eaglesH8064of the heavenH1814: they pursued[H8804] H2022us upon the mountainsH693, they laid wait[H8804] H4057for us in the wilderness.

²⁰ H7307The breathH639of our nostrilsH4899, the anointedH3068of the LORDH3920, was taken[H8738] H7825in their pitsH559, of whom we said[H8804] H6738, Under his shadowH2421we shall live[H8799] H1471among the heathen.

²¹ H7797Rejoice[H8798] H8055and be glad[H8798] H1323, O daughterH123of EdomH3427, that dwellest[H8802] H776in the landH5780of UzH3563; the cupH5674also shall pass[H8799] H7937through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken[H8799] H6168, and shalt make thyself naked[H8691] .

²² H5771The punishment of thine iniquityH8552is accomplished[H8804] H1323, O daughterH6726of ZionH3254; he will no more[H8686] H1540carry thee away into captivity[H8687] H6485: he will visit[H8804] H5771thine iniquityH1323, O daughterH123of EdomH1540; he will discover[H8765] H2403thy sins.
