By the riversH5104 of BabylonH894, there we sat downH3427, yea, we weptH1058, when we rememberedH2142 ZionH6726.
We hangedH8518 our harpsH3658 upon the willowsH6155 in the midstH8432 thereof.
For there they that carried us away captiveH7617 requiredH7592 of us a songH1697+H7892; and they that wastedH8437 us required of us mirthH8057, saying, SingH7891 us one of the songsH7892 of ZionH6726. {a song: Heb. the words of a song} {wasted…: Heb. laid us on heaps}
How shall we singH7891 the LORD'SH3068 songH7892 in a strangeH5236 landH127? {strange…: Heb. land of a stranger?}
If I forgetH7911 thee, O JerusalemH3389, let my right handH3225 forgetH7911 her cunning.
If I do not rememberH2142 thee, let my tongueH3956 cleaveH1692 to the roof of my mouthH2441; if I preferH5927 not JerusalemH3389 above my chiefH7218 joyH8057. {my chief…: Heb. the head of my joy}
RememberH2142, O LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of EdomH123 in the dayH3117 of JerusalemH3389; who saidH559, RaseH6168 it, raseH6168 it, even to the foundationH3247 thereof. {Rase it: Heb. Make bare}
O daughterH1323 of BabylonH894, who art to be destroyedH7703; happyH835 shall he be, that rewardethH7999 thee as thou hast servedH1580+H1576 us. {destroyed: Heb. wasted} {rewardeth…: Heb. recompenseth unto thee thy deed which thou didst to us}
HappyH835 shall he be, that takethH270 and dashethH5310 thy little onesH5768 against the stonesH5553. {the stones: Heb. the rock}

And they saidH559 unto me, The remnantH7604 that are leftH7604 of the captivityH7628 there in the provinceH4082 are in greatH1419 afflictionH7451 and reproachH2781: the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 also is broken downH6555, and the gatesH8179 thereof are burnedH3341 with fireH784.
When I rememberH2142 these things, I pour outH8210 my soulH5315 in me: for I had goneH5674 with the multitudeH5519, I wentH1718 with them to the houseH1004 of GodH430, with the voiceH6963 of joyH7440 and praiseH8426, with a multitudeH1995 that kept holydayH2287.
Then I proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 there, at the riverH5104 of AhavaH163, that we might afflictH6031 ourselves beforeH6440 our GodH430, to seekH1245 of him a rightH3477 wayH1870 for us, and for our little onesH2945, and for all our substanceH7399.
And it came to pass, when I heardH8085 these wordsH1697, that I sat downH3427 and weptH1058, and mournedH56 certain daysH3117, and fastedH6684, and prayedH6419 beforeH6440 the GodH430 of heavenH8064,
For I have eatenH398 ashesH665 like breadH3899, and mingledH4537 my drinkH8249 with weepingH1065,
BecauseH6440 of thine indignationH2195 and thy wrathH7110: for thou hast lifted me upH5375, and cast me downH7993.
My daysH3117 are like a shadowH6738 that declinethH5186; and I am witheredH3001 like grassH6212.
But thou, O LORDH3068, shalt endureH3427 for everH5769; and thy remembranceH2143 unto allH1755 generationsH1755.
Thou shalt ariseH6965, and have mercyH7355 upon ZionH6726: for the timeH6256 to favourH2603 her, yea, the set timeH4150, is comeH935.
For thy servantsH5650 take pleasureH7521 in her stonesH68, and favourH2603 the dustH6083 thereof.

And saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Let the kingH4428 liveH2421 for everH5769: why should not my countenanceH6440 be sadH3415, when the cityH5892, the placeH1004 of my fathers'H1 sepulchresH6913, lieth wasteH2720, and the gatesH8179 thereof are consumedH398 with fireH784?
RejoiceH8055 ye with JerusalemH3389, and be gladH1523 with her, all ye that loveH157 her: rejoiceH7797 for joyH4885 with her, all ye that mournH56 for her:
Now it came to pass in the thirtiethH7970 yearH8141, in the fourthH7243 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, as I was amongH8432 the captivesH1473 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, that the heavensH8064 were openedH6605, and I sawH7200 visionsH4759 of GodH430. {captives: Heb. captivity}
And when they lifted upH5375 their eyesH5869 afar offH7350, and knewH5234 him not, they lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and weptH1058; and they rentH7167 every oneH376 his mantleH4598, and sprinkledH2236 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218 toward heavenH8064.
Ye that have escapedH6405 the swordH2719, go awayH1980, stand not stillH5975: rememberH2142 the LORDH3068 afar offH7350, and let JerusalemH3389 comeH5927 into your mindH3824.
So they sat downH3427 with him upon the groundH776 sevenH7651 daysH3117 and sevenH7651 nightsH3915, and none spakeH1696 a wordH1697 unto him: for they sawH7200 that his griefH3511 was veryH3966 greatH1431.
We are confoundedH954, because we have heardH8085 reproachH2781: shameH3639 hath coveredH3680 our facesH6440: for strangersH2114 are comeH935 into the sanctuariesH4720 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004.
But if ye will not hearH8085 it, my soulH5315 shall weepH1058 in secret placesH4565 forH6440 your prideH1466; and mine eyeH5869 shall weepH1830 soreH1830, and run downH3381 with tearsH1832, because the LORD'SH3068 flockH5739 is carried away captiveH7617.
For these things I weepH1058; mine eyeH5869, mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with waterH4325, because the comforterH5162 that should relieveH7725 my soulH5315 is farH7368 from me: my childrenH1121 are desolateH8074, because the enemyH341 prevailedH1396. {relieve: Heb. bring back}
SayH559 unto the kingH4428 and to the queenH1377, HumbleH8213 yourselves, sit downH3427: for your principalitiesH4761 shall come downH3381, even the crownH5850 of your gloryH8597. {principalities: or, head tires}
Mine eyesH5869 do failH3615 with tearsH1832, my bowelsH4578 are troubledH2560, my liverH3516 is pouredH8210 upon the earthH776, for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971; because the childrenH5768 and the sucklingsH3243 swoonH5848 in the streetsH7339 of the cityH7151. {swoon: or, faint}
I satH3427 not in the assemblyH5475 of the mockersH7832, nor rejoicedH5937; I satH3427 aloneH910 becauseH6440 of thy handH3027: for thou hast filledH4390 me with indignationH2195.
Their heartH3820 criedH6817 unto the LordH136, O wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, let tearsH1832 run downH3381 like a riverH5158 dayH3119 and nightH3915: giveH5414 thyself no restH6314; let not the appleH1323 of thine eyeH5869 ceaseH1826.
The eldersH2205 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 sitH3427 upon the groundH776, and keep silenceH1826: they have cast upH5927 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218; they have girdedH2296 themselves with sackclothH8242: the virginsH1330 of JerusalemH3389 hang downH3381 their headsH7218 to the groundH776.
Mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with riversH6388 of waterH4325 for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.
Then I cameH935 to them of the captivityH1473 at TelabibH8512, that dweltH3427 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, and I satH3427 where they satH3427, and remainedH3427 there astonishedH8074 amongH8432 them sevenH7651 daysH3117.
Mine eyeH5869 affectethH5953 mine heartH5315 because of all the daughtersH1323 of my cityH5892. {mine heart: Heb. my soul} {because…: or, more than all}
And I setH5414 my faceH6440 unto the LordH136 GodH430, to seekH1245 by prayerH8605 and supplicationsH8469, with fastingH6685, and sackclothH8242, and ashesH665:
In those daysH3117 I DanielH1840 was mourningH56 threeH7969 fullH3117 weeksH7620. {full…: Heb. weeks of days}
I ateH398 no pleasantH2532 breadH3899, neither cameH935 fleshH1320 nor wineH3196 in my mouthH6310, neither did I anointH5480 myself at allH5480, till threeH7969 wholeH3117 weeksH7620 were fulfilledH4390. {pleasant…: Heb. bread of desires}
