How hath the LordH136 coveredH5743 the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 with a cloudH5743 in his angerH639, and cast downH7993 from heavenH8064 unto the earthH776 the beautyH8597 of IsraelH3478, and rememberedH2142 not his footstoolH1916+H7272 in the dayH3117 of his angerH639!
The LordH136 hath swallowed upH1104 all the habitationsH4999 of JacobH3290, and hath not pitiedH2550: he hath thrown downH2040 in his wrathH5678 the strong holdsH4013 of the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063; he hath brought them downH5060 to the groundH776: he hath pollutedH2490 the kingdomH4467 and the princesH8269 thereof. {brought…: Heb. made to touch}
He hath cut offH1438 in his fierceH2750 angerH639 all the hornH7161 of IsraelH3478: he hath drawnH7725 backH268 his right handH3225 from beforeH6440 the enemyH341, and he burnedH1197 against JacobH3290 like a flamingH3852 fireH784, which devourethH398 round aboutH5439.
He hath bentH1869 his bowH7198 like an enemyH341: he stoodH5324 with his right handH3225 as an adversaryH6862, and slewH2026 all that were pleasantH4261 to the eyeH5869 in the tabernacleH168 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: he poured outH8210 his furyH2534 like fireH784. {all…: Heb. all the desirable of the eye}
The LordH136 was as an enemyH341: he hath swallowed upH1104 IsraelH3478, he hath swallowed upH1104 all her palacesH759: he hath destroyedH7843 his strong holdsH4013, and hath increasedH7235 in the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063 mourningH8386 and lamentationH592.
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 LORDH3068 hath purposedH2803 to destroyH7843 the wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: he hath stretched outH5186 a lineH6957, he hath not withdrawnH7725 his handH3027 from destroyingH1104: therefore he made the rampartH2426 and the wallH2346 to lamentH56; they languishedH535 togetherH3162. {destroying: Heb. swallowing up}
Her gatesH8179 are sunkH2883 into the groundH776; he hath destroyedH6 and brokenH7665 her barsH1280: her kingH4428 and her princesH8269 are among the GentilesH1471: the lawH8451 is no more; her prophetsH5030 also findH4672 no visionH2377 from 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.
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}
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.
What thing shall I take to witnessH5749+H5749 for thee? what thingH4100 shall I likenH1819 to thee, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389? what shall I equalH7737 to thee, that I may comfortH5162 thee, O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726? for thy breachH7667 is greatH1419 like the seaH3220: who can healH7495 thee?
Thy prophetsH5030 have seenH2372 vainH7723 and foolish thingsH8602 for thee: and they have not discoveredH1540 thine iniquityH5771, to turn awayH7725 thy captivityH7622+H7622; but have seenH2372 for thee falseH7723 burdensH4864 and causes of banishmentH4065.
All that passH5674 by clapH5606 their handsH3709 at theeH1870; they hissH8319 and wagH5128 their headH7218 at the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389, saying, Is this the cityH5892 that men callH559 The perfectionH3632 of beautyH3308, The joyH4885 of the whole earthH776? {by: Heb. by the way}
All thine enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthH6310 against thee: they hissH8319 and gnashH2786 the teethH8127: they sayH559, We have swallowed her upH1104: certainlyH389 this is the dayH3117 that we looked forH6960; we have foundH4672, we have seenH7200 it.
The LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 that which he had devisedH2161; he hath fulfilledH1214 his wordH565 that he had commandedH6680 in the daysH3117 of oldH6924: he hath thrown downH2040, and hath not pitiedH2550: and he hath caused thine enemyH341 to rejoiceH8055 over thee, he hath set upH7311 the hornH7161 of thine adversariesH6862.
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.
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.
Thou hast calledH7121 as in a solemnH4150 dayH3117 my terrorsH4032 round aboutH5439, so that in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 none escapedH6412 nor remainedH8300: those that I have swaddledH2946 and brought upH7235 hath mine enemyH341 consumedH3615.
