How is the goldH2091 become dimH6004! how is the mostH2896 fine goldH3800 changedH8132! the stonesH68 of the sanctuaryH6944 are poured outH8210 in the topH7218 of every streetH2351.
The preciousH3368 sonsH1121 of ZionH6726, comparableH5537 to fine goldH6337, how are they esteemedH2803 as earthenH2789 pitchersH5035, the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of the potterH3335!
Even the sea monstersH8577 draw outH2502 the breastH7699, they give suckH3243 to their young onesH1482: the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is become cruelH393, like the ostrichesH3283 in the wildernessH4057. {sea…: or, sea calves}
The tongueH3956 of the sucking childH3243 cleavethH1692 to the roof of his mouthH2441 for thirstH6772: the young childrenH5768 askH7592 breadH3899, and no man breakethH6566 it unto them.
They that did feedH398 delicatelyH4574 are desolateH8074 in the streetsH2351: they that were brought upH539 in scarletH8438 embraceH2263 dunghillsH830.
For the punishment of the iniquityH5771 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is greaterH1431 than the punishmentH2403 of the sin of SodomH5467, that was overthrownH2015 as in a momentH7281, and no handsH3027 stayedH2342 on her. {punishment of the iniquity: or, iniquity}
Her NazaritesH5139 were purerH2141 than snowH7950, they were whiterH6705 than milkH2461, they were more ruddyH119 in bodyH6106 than rubiesH6443, their polishingH1508 was of sapphireH5601:
Their visageH8389 is blackerH2821 than a coalH7815; they are not knownH5234 in the streetsH2351: their skinH5785 cleavethH6821 to their bonesH6106; it is witheredH3001, it is become like a stickH6086. {blacker…: Heb. darker than blackness}
They that be slainH2491 with the swordH2719 are betterH2896 than they that be slainH2491 with hungerH7458: for theseH1992 pine awayH2100, strickenH1856 through for want of the fruitsH8570 of the fieldH7704. {pine…: Heb. flow out}
The handsH3027 of the pitifulH7362 womenH802 have soddenH1310 their own childrenH3206: they were their meatH1262 in the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.
The LORDH3068 hath accomplishedH3615 his furyH2534; he hath poured outH8210 his fierceH2740 angerH639, and hath kindledH3341 a fireH784 in ZionH6726, and it hath devouredH398 the foundationsH3247 thereof.
The kingsH4428 of the earthH776, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398, would not have believedH539 that the adversaryH6862 and the enemyH341 should have enteredH935 into the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
For the sinsH2403 of her prophetsH5030, and the iniquitiesH5771 of her priestsH3548, that have shedH8210 the bloodH1818 of the justH6662 in the midstH7130 of her,
They have wanderedH5128 as blindH5787 men in the streetsH2351, they have pollutedH1351 themselves with bloodH1818, so that men couldH3201 notH3808 touchH5060 their garmentsH3830. {so…: or, in that they could not but touch}
They criedH7121 unto them, DepartH5493 ye; it is uncleanH2931; departH5493, departH5493, touchH5060 not: when they fled awayH5132 and wanderedH5128, they saidH559 among the heathenH1471, They shall no moreH3254 sojournH1481 there. {it…: or, ye polluted}
The angerH6440 of the LORDH3068 hath dividedH2505 them; he will no moreH3254 regardH5027 them: they respectedH5375 not the personsH6440 of the priestsH3548, they favouredH2603 not the eldersH2205. {anger: or, face}
As for us, our eyesH5869 as yet failedH3615 for our vainH1892 helpH5833: in our watchingH6836 we have watchedH6822 for a nationH1471 that could not saveH3467 us.
They huntH6679 our stepsH6806, that we cannot goH3212 in our streetsH7339: our endH7093 is nearH7126, our daysH3117 are fulfilledH4390; for our endH7093 is comeH935.
Our persecutorsH7291 are swifterH7031 than the eaglesH5404 of the heavenH8064: they pursuedH1814 us upon the mountainsH2022, they laid waitH693 for us in the wildernessH4057.
The breathH7307 of our nostrilsH639, the anointedH4899 of the LORDH3068, was takenH3920 in their pitsH7825, of whom we saidH559, Under his shadowH6738 we shall liveH2421 among the heathenH1471.
RejoiceH7797 and be gladH8055, O daughterH1323 of EdomH123, that dwellestH3427 in the landH776 of UzH5780; the cupH3563 also shall passH5674 through unto thee: thou shalt be drunkenH7937, and shalt make thyself nakedH6168.
The punishment of thine iniquityH5771 is accomplishedH8552, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; he will no moreH3254 carry thee away into captivityH1540: he will visitH6485 thine iniquityH5771, O daughterH1323 of EdomH123; he will discoverH1540 thy sinsH2403. {The…: or, Thine iniquity} {discover…: or, carry thee captive for thy sins}

SonH1121 of manH120, what is that proverbH4912 that ye have in the landH127 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The daysH3117 are prolongedH748, and every visionH2377 failethH6?
For it increasethH1342. Thou huntestH6679 me as a fierce lionH7826: and againH7725 thou shewest thyself marvellousH6381 upon me.
TellH559 them therefore, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will make this proverbH4912 to ceaseH7673, and they shall no more use it as a proverbH4911 in IsraelH3478; but sayH1696 unto them, The daysH3117 are at handH7126, and the effectH1697 of every visionH2377.
