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}
Shall a trumpetH7782 be blownH8628 in the cityH5892, and the peopleH5971 not be afraidH2729? shall there be evilH7451 in a cityH5892, and the LORDH3068 hath not doneH6213 it? {be afraid: or, run together? the LORD…: or, shall not the L.doe somewhat?}
Shall I not visitH6485 them for these things? saithH5002 the LORDH3068: shall not my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on such a nationH1471 as this?
For the mountainsH2022 will I take upH5375 a weepingH1065 and wailingH5092, and for the habitationsH4999 of the wildernessH4057 a lamentationH7015, because they are burned upH3341, so that noneH376 can passH5674 through them; neither can men hearH8085 the voiceH6963 of the cattleH4735; both the fowlH5775 of the heavensH8064 and the beastH929 are fledH5074; they are goneH1980. {habitations: or, pastures} {burned up: or, desolate} {both…: Heb. from the fowl even to, etc}
And I will makeH5414 JerusalemH3389 heapsH1530, and a denH4583 of dragonsH8577; and I will makeH5414 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 desolateH8077, without an inhabitantH3427. {desolate: Heb. desolation}
Who is the wiseH2450 manH376, that may understandH995 this? and who is he to whom the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696, that he may declareH5046 it, for what the landH776 perishethH6 and is burned upH3341 like a wildernessH4057, that none passeth throughH5674?
And the LORDH3068 saithH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 my lawH8451 which I setH5414 beforeH6440 them, and have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, neither walkedH1980 therein;
But have walkedH3212 afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their own heartH3820, and afterH310 BaalimH1168, which their fathersH1 taughtH3925 them: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will feedH398 them, even this peopleH5971, with wormwoodH3939, and give them waterH4325 of gallH7219 to drinkH8248.
I will scatterH6327 them also among the heathenH1471, whom neither they nor their fathersH1 have knownH3045: and I will sendH7971 a swordH2719 afterH310 them, till I have consumedH3615 them.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, ConsiderH995 ye, and callH7121 for the mourning womenH6969, that they may comeH935; and sendH7971 for cunningH2450 women, that they may comeH935:
And let them make hasteH4116, and take upH5375 a wailingH5092 for us, that our eyesH5869 may run downH3381 with tearsH1832, and our eyelidsH6079 gush outH5140 with watersH4325.
For a voiceH6963 of wailingH5092 is heardH8085 out of ZionH6726, How are we spoiledH7703! we are greatlyH3966 confoundedH954, because we have forsakenH5800 the landH776, because our dwellingsH4908 have cast us outH7993.
Yet hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ye womenH802, and let your earH241 receiveH3947 the wordH1697 of his mouthH6310, and teachH3925 your daughtersH1323 wailingH5092, and every oneH802 her neighbourH7468 lamentationH7015.
For deathH4194 is come upH5927 into our windowsH2474, and is enteredH935 into our palacesH759, to cut offH3772 the childrenH5768 from withoutH2351, and the young menH970 from the streetsH7339.
Cut offH1494 thine hairH5145, O Jerusalem, and cast it awayH7993, and take upH5375 a lamentationH7015 on high placesH8205; for the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 and forsakenH5203 the generationH1755 of his wrathH5678.
And JeremiahH3414 lamentedH6969 for JosiahH2977: and all the singing menH7891 and the singing womenH7891 spakeH559 of JosiahH2977 in their lamentationsH7015 to this dayH3117, and madeH5414 them an ordinanceH2706 in IsraelH3478: and, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the lamentationsH7015.
For the LordH136 will not cast offH2186 for everH5769:
But though he cause griefH3013, yet will he have compassionH7355 according to the multitudeH7230 of his merciesH2617.
For he doth not afflictH6031 willinglyH3820 nor grieveH3013 the childrenH1121 of menH376. {willingly: Heb. from his heart}
AndG2532 whenG5613 he was come nearG1448, he beheldG1492 the cityG4172, and weptG2799 overG1909 itG846,
SayingG3004, IfG3754+G1487 thou hadst knownG1097, evenG2532 thouG4771, at leastG2534 inG1722 thisG5026 thyG4675 dayG2250, the thingsG3588 which belong untoG4314 thyG4675 peaceG1515! butG1161 nowG3568 they are hidG2928 fromG575 thineG4675 eyesG3788.
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.

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}

How is the faithfulH539 cityH7151 become an harlotH2181! it was fullH4392 of judgmentH4941; righteousnessH6664 lodgedH3885 in it; but now murderersH7523.
And let them make hasteH4116, and take upH5375 a wailingH5092 for us, that our eyesH5869 may run downH3381 with tearsH1832, and our eyelidsH6079 gush outH5140 with watersH4325.
All ye that are aboutH5439 him, bemoanH5110 him; and all ye that knowH3045 his nameH8034, sayH559, How is the strongH5797 staffH4294 brokenH7665, and the beautifulH8597 rodH4731!
I satH3427 not in the assemblyH5475 of the mockersH7832, nor rejoicedH5937; I satH3427 aloneH910 becauseH6440 of thy handH3027: for thou hast filledH4390 me with indignationH2195.
And it came to pass, when I heardH8085 these wordsH1697, that I sat downH3427 and weptH1058, and mournedH56 certain daysH3117, and fastedH6684, and prayedH6419 beforeH6440 the GodH430 of heavenH8064,
And ye shall be leftH7604 fewH4592 in numberH4962, whereasH834 ye were as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 for multitudeH7230; because thou wouldest not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
Therefore hearH8085 now this, thou that art given to pleasuresH5719, that dwellestH3427 carelesslyH983, that sayestH559 in thine heartH3824, I am, and none elseH657 beside me; I shall not sitH3427 as a widowH490, neither shall I knowH3045 the loss of childrenH7908:
My brethrenH251 have dealt deceitfullyH898 as a brookH5158, and as the streamH650 of brooksH5158 they pass awayH5674;
I have heardH8085 many such thingsH7227: miserableH5999 comfortersH5162 are ye all. {miserable: or, troublesome}
Why gaddest thou aboutH235 so muchH3966 to changeH8138 thy wayH1870? thou also shalt be ashamedH954 of EgyptH4714, as thou wast ashamedH954 of AssyriaH804.
And sendH7971 them to the kingH4428 of EdomH123, and to the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and to the kingH4428 of the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and to the kingH4428 of TyrusH6865, and to the kingH4428 of ZidonH6721, by the handH3027 of the messengersH4397 which comeH935 to JerusalemH3389 unto ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063;
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}
And sayH559 unto the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou saidstH559, AhaH1889, against my sanctuaryH4720, when it was profanedH2490; and against the landH127 of IsraelH3478, when it was desolateH8074; and against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, when they wentH1980 into captivityH1473;
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; BecauseH3282 that MoabH4124 and SeirH8165 do sayH559, Behold, the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 is like unto all the heathenH1471;
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because that EdomH123 hath dealtH6213 against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 by takingH5358 vengeanceH5359, and hath greatlyH816 offendedH816, and revengedH5358 himself upon them; {by…: Heb. by revenging revengement}
And among theseH1992 nationsH1471 shalt thou find no easeH7280, neither shall the soleH3709 of thy footH7272 have restH4494: but the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 thee there a tremblingH7268 heartH3820, and failingH3631 of eyesH5869, and sorrowH1671 of mindH5315:
Thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall be givenH5414 unto anotherH312 peopleH5971, and thine eyesH5869 shall lookH7200, and failH3616 with longing for them all the dayH3117 long: and there shall be no mightH410 in thine handH3027.
He shall lendH3867 to thee, and thou shalt not lendH3867 to him: he shall be the headH7218, and thou shalt be the tailH2180.
Now the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 that were leftH7604 in the cityH5892, and the fugitivesH5307 that fell awayH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, with the remnantH3499 of the multitudeH1995, did NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carry awayH1540. {fugitives: Heb. fallen away}
And them that had escapedH7611 from the swordH2719 carried he awayH1540 to BabylonH894; where they were servantsH5650 to him and his sonsH1121 until the reignH4427 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539: {them…: Heb. the remainder from the sword}
Then NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 certain of the poorH1803 of the peopleH5971, and the residueH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in the cityH5892, and those that fell awayH5307, that fellH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and the restH3499 of the multitudeH527.
The LORDH3068 shall causeH5414 thee to be smittenH5062 beforeH6440 thine enemiesH341: thou shalt go outH3318 oneH259 wayH1870 against them, and fleeH5127 sevenH7651 waysH1870 beforeH6440 them: and shalt be removedH2189 into all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. {removed: Heb. for a removing}
There have beenH1934 mightyH8624 kingsH4430 also overH5922 JerusalemH3390, which have ruledH7990 over allH3606 countries beyondH5675 the riverH5103; and tollH4061, tributeH1093, and customH1983, was paidH3052 unto them.
We are become a reproachH2781 to our neighboursH7934, a scornH3933 and derisionH7047 to them that are round aboutH5439 us.
But if ye shall at allH7725 turnH7725 from followingH310 me, ye or your childrenH1121, and will not keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708 which I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you, but goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 them:
Then will I cut offH3772 IsraelH3478 outH6440 of the landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, which I have hallowedH6942 for my nameH8034, will I cast outH7971 of my sightH6440; and IsraelH3478 shall be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all peopleH5971:
Therefore will I discoverH2834 thy skirtsH7757 upon thy faceH6440, that thy shameH7036 may appearH7200.
Behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 all thy loversH157, with whom thou hast taken pleasureH6149, and all them that thou hast lovedH157, with all them that thou hast hatedH8130; I will even gatherH6908 them round aboutH5439 against thee, and will discoverH1540 thy nakednessH6172 unto them, that they may seeH7200 all thy nakednessH6172.
O thatH3863 they were wiseH2449, that they understoodH7919 this, that they would considerH995 their latter endH319!
How should oneH259 chaseH7291 a thousandH505, and twoH8147 put tenH7233 thousandH505 to flightH5127, exceptH3808 their RockH6697 had soldH4376 themH3588, and the LORDH3068 had shut them upH5462?
The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falselyH8267, and the priestsH3548 bear ruleH7287 by their meansH3027; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 to have it so: and what will ye doH6213 in the endH319 thereof? {bear…: or, take into their hands}
BecauseH1697 they metH6923 you not with breadH3899 and with waterH4325 in the wayH1870, when ye came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714; and because they hiredH7936 against thee BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 of PethorH6604 of MesopotamiaH763, to curseH7043 thee.
Nevertheless the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto BalaamH1109; but the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 turnedH2015 the curseH7045 into a blessingH1293 unto thee, because the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 lovedH157 thee.
A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. O GodH430, the heathenH1471 are comeH935 into thine inheritanceH5159; thy holyH6944 templeH1964 have they defiledH2930; they have laidH7760 JerusalemH3389 on heapsH5856. {of: or, for}
And I will giveH5414 it into the handsH3027 of the strangersH2114 for a preyH957, and to the wickedH7563 of the earthH776 for a spoilH7998; and they shall polluteH2490 it.
My faceH6440 will I turnH5437 also from them, and they shall polluteH2490 my secretH6845 place: for the robbersH6530 shall enterH935 into it, and defileH2490 it. {robbers: or, burglers}
Who can findH4672 a virtuousH2428 womanH802? for her priceH4377 is farH7350 above rubiesH6443.
