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}

RememberH2142 this, that the enemyH341 hath reproachedH2778, O LORDH3068, and that the foolishH5036 peopleH5971 have blasphemedH5006 thy nameH8034.
Who is this that comethH935 from EdomH123, with dyedH2556 garmentsH899 from BozrahH1224? this that is gloriousH1921 in his apparelH3830, travellingH6808 in the greatnessH7230 of his strengthH3581? I that speakH1696 in righteousnessH6666, mightyH7227 to saveH3467. {glorious: Heb. decked}
Wherefore art thou redH122 in thine apparelH3830, and thy garmentsH899 like him that treadethH1869 in the winefatH1660?
I have troddenH1869 the winepressH6333 alone; and of the peopleH5971 there was noneH376 with me: for I will treadH1869 them in mine angerH639, and trampleH7429 them in my furyH2534; and their bloodH5332 shall be sprinkledH5137 upon my garmentsH899, and I will stainH1351 all my raimentH4403.
For the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 is in mine heartH3820, and the yearH8141 of my redeemedH1350 is comeH935.
And I lookedH5027, and there was none to helpH5826; and I wonderedH8074 that there was none to upholdH5564: therefore mine own armH2220 brought salvationH3467 unto me; and my furyH2534, it upheldH5564 me.
And I will tread downH947 the peopleH5971 in mine angerH639, and make them drunkH7937 in my furyH2534, and I will bring downH3381 their strengthH5332 to the earthH776.
O rememberH2142 not against us formerH7223 iniquitiesH5771: let thy tender merciesH7356 speedilyH4118 preventH6923 us: for we are broughtH1809 veryH3966 lowH1809. {former…: or, the iniquities of them that were before us}
HelpH5826 us, O GodH430 of our salvationH3468, forH1697 the gloryH3519 of thy nameH8034: and deliverH5337 us, and purge awayH3722 our sinsH2403, for thy name'sH8034 sake.

Let the sighingH603 of the prisonerH615 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee; according to the greatnessH1433 of thy powerH2220 preserveH3498 thou those that are appointedH1121 to dieH8546; {thy…: Heb. thine arm} {preserve…: Heb. reserve the children of death}

Concerning EdomH123, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Is wisdomH2451 no more in TemanH8487? is counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudentH995? is their wisdomH2451 vanishedH5628?
FleeH5127 ye, turn backH6437, dwellH3427 deepH6009, O inhabitantsH3427 of DedanH1719; for I will bringH935 the calamityH343 of EsauH6215 upon him, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 him. {turn…: or, they are turned back}
If grapegatherersH1219 comeH935 to thee, would they not leaveH7604 some gleaning grapesH5955? if thievesH1590 by nightH3915, they will destroyH7843 till they have enoughH1767. {till…: Heb. their sufficiency}

For I have swornH7650 by myself, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that BozrahH1224 shall become a desolationH8047, a reproachH2781, a wasteH2721, and a curseH7045; and all the citiesH5892 thereof shall be perpetualH5769 wastesH2723.

Thy terriblenessH8606 hath deceivedH5377 thee, and the prideH2087 of thine heartH3820, O thou that dwellestH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, that holdestH8610 the heightH4791 of the hillH1389: though thou shouldest make thy nestH7064 as highH1361 as the eagleH5404, I will bring thee downH3381 from thence, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

As in the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighbourH7934 cities thereof, saithH559 the LORDH3068, no manH376 shall abideH3427 there, neither shall a sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 in it.

The earthH776 is movedH7493 at the noiseH6963 of their fallH5307, at the cryH6818 the noiseH6963 thereof was heardH8085 in the RedH5488 seaH3220. {Red sea: Heb. Weedy sea}

And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, WriteH3789 this for a memorialH2146 in a bookH5612, and rehearseH7760 it in the earsH241 of JoshuaH3091: for I will utterlyH4229 put outH4229 the remembranceH2143 of AmalekH6002 from under heavenH8064.

For thy violenceH2555 against thy brotherH251 JacobH3290 shameH955 shall coverH3680 thee, and thou shalt be cut offH3772 for everH5769.
In the dayH3117 that thou stoodestH5975 on the other side, in the dayH3117 that the strangersH2114 carried away captiveH7617 his forcesH2428, and foreignersH5237 enteredH935 into his gatesH8179, and castH3032 lotsH1486 upon JerusalemH3389, even thou wast as oneH259 of them. {captive…: or, his substance}
But thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on the dayH3117 of thy brotherH251 in the dayH3117 that he became a strangerH5235; neither shouldest thou have rejoicedH8055 over the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 in the dayH3117 of their destructionH6; neither shouldest thou have spokenH6310 proudlyH1431 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. {spoken…: Heb. magnified thy mouth}

Neither shouldest thou have stoodH5975 in the crosswayH6563, to cut offH3772 those of his that did escapeH6412; neither shouldest thou have delivered upH5462 those of his that did remainH8300 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. {delivered up: or, shut up}

And the captivityH1546 of this hostH2426 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall possess that of the CanaanitesH3669, even unto ZarephathH6886; and the captivityH1546 of JerusalemH3389, which is in SepharadH5614, shall possessH3423 the citiesH5892 of the southH5045. {which…: or, shall possess that which is in}
