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.

They sayH559 to their mothersH517, Where is cornH1715 and wineH3196? when they swoonedH5848 as the woundedH2491 in the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892, when their soulH5315 was poured outH8210 into their mothers'H517 bosomH2436.

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.

BeholdH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027 to whom thou hast doneH5953 thisH3541.
