[1]How doth the cityH5892 sitH3427[H8804] 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!
[2]She weepethH1058[H8799] soreH1058[H8800] in the nightH3915, and her tearsH1832 are on her cheeksH3895: among all her loversH157[H8802] she hath none to comfortH5162[H8764] her: all her friendsH7453 have dealt treacherouslyH898[H8804] with her, they are become her enemiesH341.[H8802]
[3]JudahH3063 is gone into captivityH1540[H8804] because of afflictionH6040, and because of greatH7230 servitudeH5656: she dwellethH3427[H8804] among the heathenH1471, she findethH4672[H8804] no restH4494: all her persecutorsH7291[H8802] overtookH5381[H8689] her between the straitsH4712.
[4]The waysH1870 of ZionH6726 do mournH57, because none comeH935[H8802] to the solemn feastsH4150: all her gatesH8179 are desolateH8074[H8802]: her priestsH3548 sighH584[H8737], her virginsH1330 are afflictedH3013[H8737], and she is in bitternessH4843.[H8804]
[5]Her adversariesH6862 are the chiefH7218, her enemiesH341[H8802] prosperH7951[H8804]; for the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013[H8689] her for the multitudeH7230 of her transgressionsH6588: her childrenH5768 are goneH1980[H8804] into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 the enemyH6862.
[6]And from the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 all her beautyH1926 is departedH3318[H8799]: her princesH8269 are become like hartsH354 that findH4672[H8804] no pastureH4829, and they are goneH3212[H8799] without strengthH3581 beforeH6440 the pursuerH7291.[H8802]
[7]JerusalemH3389 rememberedH2142[H8804] 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[H8800] into the handH3027 of the enemyH6862, and none did helpH5826[H8802] her: the adversariesH6862 sawH7200[H8804] her, and did mockH7832[H8804] at her sabbathsH4868.
[8]JerusalemH3389 hath grievouslyH2399 sinnedH2398[H8804]; therefore she is removedH5206: all that honouredH3513[H8764] her despiseH2107[H8689] her, because they have seenH7200[H8804] her nakednessH6172: yea, she sighethH584[H8738], and turnethH7725[H8799] backwardH268.
[9]Her filthinessH2932 is in her skirtsH7757; she rememberethH2142[H8804] not her last endH319; therefore she came downH3381[H8799] wonderfullyH6382: she had no comforterH5162[H8764]. O LORDH3068, beholdH7200[H8798] my afflictionH6040: for the enemyH341[H8802] hath magnifiedH1431 himselfH8689.
[10]The adversaryH6862 hath spread outH6566[H8804] his handH3027 upon all her pleasant thingsH4261: for she hath seenH7200[H8804] that the heathenH1471 enteredH935[H8804] into her sanctuaryH4720, whom thou didst commandH6680[H8765] that they should not enterH935[H8799] into thy congregationH6951.
[11]All her peopleH5971 sighH584[H8737], they seekH1245[H8764] breadH3899; they have givenH5414[H8804] their pleasant thingsH4261[H8675][H4262] for meatH400 to relieveH7725[H8687] the soulH5315: seeH7200[H8798], O LORDH3068, and considerH5027[H8685]; for I am become vileH2151.[H8802]
[12]Is it nothing to you, all ye that passH5674[H8802] byH1870? beholdH5027[H8685], and seeH7200[H8798] if there beH3426 any sorrowH4341 like unto my sorrowH4341, which is doneH5953[H8776] unto me, wherewith the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013[H8689] me in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639.
[13]From aboveH4791 hath he sentH7971[H8804] fireH784 into my bonesH6106, and it prevailethH7287[H8799] against them: he hath spreadH6566[H8804] a netH7568 for my feetH7272, he hath turnedH7725[H8689] me backH268: he hath madeH5414[H8804] me desolateH8074[H8802] and faintH1739 all the dayH3117.
[14]The yokeH5923 of my transgressionsH6588 is boundH8244[H8738] by his handH3027: they are wreathedH8276[H8691], and come upH5927[H8804] upon my neckH6677: he hath made my strengthH3581 to fallH3782[H8689], the LordH136 hath deliveredH5414[H8804] me into their handsH3027, from whom I am not ableH3201[H8799] to rise upH6965.[H8800]
[15]The LordH136 hath trodden under footH5541[H8765] all my mightyH47 men in the midstH7130 of me: he hath calledH7121[H8804] an assemblyH4150 against me to crushH7665[H8800] my young menH970: the LordH136 hath troddenH1869[H8804] the virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063, as in a winepressH1660.
[16]For these things I weepH1058[H8802]; mine eyeH5869, mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381[H8802] with waterH4325, because the comforterH5162[H8764] that should relieveH7725[H8688] my soulH5315 is farH7368[H8804] from me: my childrenH1121 are desolateH8074[H8802], because the enemyH341[H8802] prevailedH1396.[H8804]
[17]ZionH6726 spreadeth forthH6566[H8765] her handsH3027, and there is none to comfortH5162[H8764] her: the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680[H8765] concerning JacobH3290, that his adversariesH6862 should be round aboutH5439 him: JerusalemH3389 is as a menstruous woman among themH5079.
[18]The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662; for I have rebelledH4784[H8804] against his commandmentH6310: hearH8085[H8798], I pray you, all peopleH5971, and beholdH7200[H8798] my sorrowH4341: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are goneH1980[H8804] into captivityH7628.
[19]I calledH7121[H8804] for my loversH157[H8764], but they deceivedH7411[H8765] me: my priestsH3548 and mine eldersH2205 gave up the ghostH1478[H8804] in the cityH5892, while they soughtH1245[H8765] their meatH400 to relieveH7725[H8686] their soulsH5315.
[20]BeholdH7200[H8798], O LORDH3068; for I am in distressH6887[H8804]: my bowelsH4578 are troubledH2560[H8777]; mine heartH3820 is turnedH2015[H8738] withinH7130 me; for I have grievouslyH4784[H8800] rebelledH4784[H8804]: abroadH2351 the swordH2719 bereavethH7921[H8765], at homeH1004 there is as deathH4194.
[21]They have heardH8085[H8804] that I sighH584[H8737]: there is none to comfortH5162[H8764] me: all mine enemiesH341[H8802] have heardH8085[H8804] of my troubleH7451; they are gladH7797[H8804] that thou hast doneH6213[H8804] it: thou wilt bringH935[H8689] the dayH3117 that thou hast calledH7121[H8804], and they shall be like unto meH3644.
[22]Let all their wickednessH7451 comeH935[H8799] beforeH6440 thee; and doH5953[H8778] unto them, as thou hast doneH5953[H8782] unto me for all my transgressionsH6588: for my sighsH585 are manyH7227, and my heartH3820 is faintH1742.
