How doth the cityH5892 sitH3427 solitaryH910, that was fullH7227 of peopleH5971! how is she become as a widowH490! she that was greatH7227 among the nationsH1471, and princessH8282 among the provincesH4082, how is she become tributaryH4522!
She weepethH1058 soreH1058 in the nightH3915, and her tearsH1832 are on her cheeksH3895: among all her loversH157 she hath none to comfortH5162 her: all her friendsH7453 have dealt treacherouslyH898 with her, they are become her enemiesH341.
JudahH3063 is gone into captivityH1540 because of afflictionH6040, and because of greatH7230 servitudeH5656: she dwellethH3427 among the heathenH1471, she findethH4672 no restH4494: all her persecutorsH7291 overtookH5381 her between the straitsH4712. {because of great…: Heb. for the greatness of servitude}
The waysH1870 of ZionH6726 do mournH57, because none comeH935 to the solemn feastsH4150: all her gatesH8179 are desolateH8074: her priestsH3548 sighH584, her virginsH1330 are afflictedH3013, and she is in bitternessH4843.
Her adversariesH6862 are the chiefH7218, her enemiesH341 prosperH7951; for the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 her for the multitudeH7230 of her transgressionsH6588: her childrenH5768 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 the enemyH6862.
And from the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 all her beautyH1926 is departedH3318: her princesH8269 are become like hartsH354 that findH4672 no pastureH4829, and they are goneH3212 without strengthH3581 beforeH6440 the pursuerH7291.
JerusalemH3389 rememberedH2142 in the daysH3117 of her afflictionH6040 and of her miseriesH4788 all her pleasant thingsH4262 that she had in the daysH3117 of oldH6924, when her peopleH5971 fellH5307 into the handH3027 of the enemyH6862, and none did helpH5826 her: the adversariesH6862 sawH7200 her, and did mockH7832 at her sabbathsH4868. {pleasant: or, desirable}
JerusalemH3389 hath grievouslyH2399 sinnedH2398; therefore she is removedH5206: all that honouredH3513 her despiseH2107 her, because they have seenH7200 her nakednessH6172: yea, she sighethH584, and turnethH7725 backwardH268. {is…: Heb. is become a removing, or, wandering}
Her filthinessH2932 is in her skirtsH7757; she rememberethH2142 not her last endH319; therefore she came downH3381 wonderfullyH6382: she had no comforterH5162. O LORDH3068, beholdH7200 my afflictionH6040: for the enemyH341 hath magnifiedH1431 himself.
The adversaryH6862 hath spread outH6566 his handH3027 upon all her pleasant thingsH4261: for she hath seenH7200 that the heathenH1471 enteredH935 into her sanctuaryH4720, whom thou didst commandH6680 that they should not enterH935 into thy congregationH6951. {pleasant: or, desirable}
All her peopleH5971 sighH584, they seekH1245 breadH3899; they have givenH5414 their pleasant thingsH4261+H4262 for meatH400 to relieveH7725 the soulH5315: seeH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027; for I am become vileH2151. {to…: or, to make the soul to come again}
Is it nothing to you, all ye that passH5674 byH1870? beholdH5027, and seeH7200 if there beH3426 any sorrowH4341 like unto my sorrowH4341, which is doneH5953 unto me, wherewith the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 me in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639. {Is it…: or, It is nothing} {pass by: Heb. pass by the way?}
From aboveH4791 hath he sentH7971 fireH784 into my bonesH6106, and it prevailethH7287 against them: he hath spreadH6566 a netH7568 for my feetH7272, he hath turnedH7725 me backH268: he hath madeH5414 me desolateH8074 and faintH1739 all the dayH3117.
The yokeH5923 of my transgressionsH6588 is boundH8244 by his handH3027: they are wreathedH8276, and come upH5927 upon my neckH6677: he hath made my strengthH3581 to fallH3782, the LordH136 hath deliveredH5414 me into their handsH3027, from whom I am not ableH3201 to rise upH6965.
The LordH136 hath trodden under footH5541 all my mightyH47 men in the midstH7130 of me: he hath calledH7121 an assemblyH4150 against me to crushH7665 my young menH970: the LordH136 hath troddenH1869 the virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063, as in a winepressH1660. {the virgin…: or, the winepress of the virgin, etc}
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}
ZionH6726 spreadeth forthH6566 her handsH3027, and there is none to comfortH5162 her: the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680 concerning JacobH3290, that his adversariesH6862 should be round aboutH5439 him: JerusalemH3389 is as a menstruous womanH5079 among them.
The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662; for I have rebelledH4784 against his commandmentH6310: hearH8085, I pray you, all peopleH5971, and beholdH7200 my sorrowH4341: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628. {commandment: Heb. mouth}
I calledH7121 for my loversH157, but they deceivedH7411 me: my priestsH3548 and mine eldersH2205 gave up the ghostH1478 in the cityH5892, while they soughtH1245 their meatH400 to relieveH7725 their soulsH5315.
BeholdH7200, O LORDH3068; for I am in distressH6887: my bowelsH4578 are troubledH2560; mine heartH3820 is turnedH2015 withinH7130 me; for I have grievouslyH4784 rebelledH4784: abroadH2351 the swordH2719 bereavethH7921, at homeH1004 there is as deathH4194.
They have heardH8085 that I sighH584: there is none to comfortH5162 me: all mine enemiesH341 have heardH8085 of my troubleH7451; they are gladH7797 that thou hast doneH6213 it: thou wilt bringH935 the dayH3117 that thou hast calledH7121, and they shall be likeH3644 unto me. {called: or, proclaimed}
Let all their wickednessH7451 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee; and doH5953 unto them, as thou hast doneH5953 unto me for all my transgressionsH6588: for my sighsH585 are manyH7227, and my heartH3820 is faintH1742.

And he hath violently taken awayH2554 his tabernacleH7900, as if it were of a gardenH1588: he hath destroyedH7843 his places of the assemblyH4150: the LORDH3068 hath caused the solemn feastsH4150 and sabbathsH7676 to be forgottenH7911 in ZionH6726, and hath despisedH5006 in the indignationH2195 of his angerH639 the kingH4428 and the priestH3548. {tabernacle: or, hedge}

The LordH136 hath cast offH2186 his altarH4196, he hath abhorredH5010 his sanctuaryH4720, he hath given upH5462 into the handH3027 of the enemyH341 the wallsH2346 of her palacesH759; they have madeH5414 a noiseH6963 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, as in the dayH3117 of a solemn feastH4150. {given up: Heb. shut up}

The earthH776 mournethH56 and fadeth awayH5034, the worldH8398 languishethH535 and fadeth awayH5034, the haughtyH4791 peopleH5971 of the earthH776 do languishH535. {the haughty…: Heb. the height of the people}
The earthH776 also is defiledH2610 under the inhabitantsH3427 thereof; because they have transgressedH5674 the lawsH8451, changedH2498 the ordinanceH2706, brokenH6565 the everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
Therefore hath the curseH423 devouredH398 the earthH776, and they that dwellH3427 therein are desolateH816: therefore the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 are burnedH2787, and fewH4213 menH582 leftH7604.

The voiceH6963 of joyH8342, and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860, and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the voiceH6963 of them that shall sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: for the LORDH3068 is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769: and of them that shall bringH935 the sacrifice of praiseH8426 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

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.

Therefore shall ZionH6726 for your sakeH1558 be plowedH2790 as a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of the forestH3293.
AriseH6965, cry outH7442 in the nightH3915: in the beginningH7218 of the watchesH821 pour outH8210 thine heartH3820 like waterH4325 beforeH5227 the faceH6440 of the LordH136: lift upH5375 thy handsH3709 toward him for the lifeH5315 of thy young childrenH5768, that faintH5848 for hungerH7458 in the topH7218 of every streetH2351.
BeholdH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027 to whom thou hast doneH5953 thisH3541. Shall the womenH802 eatH398 their fruitH6529, and childrenH5768 of a span longH2949? shall the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 be slainH2026 in the sanctuaryH4720 of the LordH136? {of a span…: or, swaddled with their hands?}
The youngH5288 and the oldH2205 lieH7901 on the groundH776 in the streetsH2351: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are fallenH5307 by the swordH2719; thou hast slainH2026 them in the dayH3117 of thine angerH639; thou hast killedH2873, and not pitiedH2550.
Rise upH6965, ye womenH802 that are at easeH7600; hearH8085 my voiceH6963, ye carelessH982 daughtersH1323; give earH238 unto my speechH565.
Many daysH3117 and yearsH8141 shall ye be troubledH7264, ye careless womenH982: for the vintageH1210 shall failH3615, the gatheringH625 shall not comeH935. {Many…: Heb. Days above a year}
TrembleH2729, ye women that are at easeH7600; be troubledH7264, ye careless onesH982: stripH6584 you, and make you bareH6209, and girdH2290 sackcloth upon your loinsH2504.
They shall lamentH5594 for the teatsH7699, for the pleasantH2531 fieldsH7704, for the fruitfulH6509 vineH1612. {pleasant…: Heb. fields of desire}
Upon the landH127 of my peopleH5971 shall come upH5927 thornsH6975 and briersH8068; yea, upon all the housesH1004 of joyH4885 in the joyousH5947 cityH7151: {yea…: or, burning upon}
Because the palacesH759 shall be forsakenH5203; the multitudeH1995 of the cityH5892 shall be leftH5800; the fortsH6076 and towersH975 shall be for densH4631 forH5704 everH5769, a joyH4885 of wild assesH6501, a pastureH4829 of flocksH5739; {forts…: or, clifts and watchtowers}
LamentH421 like a virginH1330 girdedH2296 with sackclothH8242 for the husbandH1167 of her youthH5271.
The meat offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is cut offH3772 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; the priestsH3548, the LORD'SH3068 ministersH8334, mournH56.
The fieldH7704 is wastedH7703, the landH127 mournethH56; for the cornH1715 is wastedH7703: the new wineH8492 is dried upH3001, the oilH3323 languishethH535.
Be ye ashamedH3001, O ye husbandmenH406; howlH3213, O ye vinedressersH3755, for the wheatH2406 and for the barleyH8184; because the harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 is perishedH6.
The vineH1612 is dried upH3001, and the fig treeH8384 languishethH535; the pomegranateH7416 tree, the palm treeH8558 also, and the apple treeH8598, even all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704, are witheredH3001: because joyH8342 is withered awayH3001 from the sonsH1121 of menH120.
GirdH2296 yourselves, and lamentH5594, ye priestsH3548: howlH3213, ye ministersH8334 of the altarH4196: comeH935, lie all nightH3885 in sackclothH8242, ye ministersH8334 of my GodH430: for the meat offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is withholdenH4513 from the houseH1004 of your GodH430.
