Lamentations 1

The Sorrows of Zion

1

Howh351a  alonelyh910 sitsh3427 the cityh5892b That was  bfullh7227a of peopleh5971a! She has becomeh1961 like a  cwidowh490 Whoh7227a was once  dgreath7227a among the nationsh1471! She who was a princessh8282 among the  1provincesh4082 Has becomeh1961 a  eforcedh4522 laborerh4522!

2

She  aweepsh1058 bitterlyh1058 in the nighth3915 And her tearsh1832 are on her cheeksh3895; She hash369 noneh369 to comforth5162 her Amongh4480 allh3605 her  bloversh157. Allh3605 her friendsh7453 have  cdealth898 treacherouslyh898 with her; They have becomeh1961 her enemiesh340.

3

 aJudahh3063 has goneh1540 into exileh1540  1underh4480 afflictionh6040a And  1underh4480  2harshh7230 servitudeh5656; She dwellsh3427  bamong the nationsh1471, But she has foundh4672 noh3808 resth4494; Allh3605  cher pursuersh7291 have overtakenh5381 her In the midsth996 of  3distressh4712.

4

The roadsh1870  1of Zionh6726 are in mourningh57 Becauseh4480h1097  anoh1097 one comesh935 to the appointedh4150 feastsh4150. Allh3605 her gatesh8179 are  bdesolateh8074; Her priestsh3548 are groaningh584, Her  cvirginsh1330 are afflictedh3013, And she herselfh1931  2is  dbitterh4843.

5

Her adversariesh6862c have becomeh1961  1her mastersh7218, Her enemiesh340  2prosperh7951; For the LORDh3068 has  acausedh3013 her griefh3013 Becauseh5921 of the multitudeh7230 of her transgressionsh6588; Her littleh5768 onesh5768 have goneh1980 away As captivesh7628b beforeh6440 the adversaryh6862c.

6

Allh3605 her  amajestyh1926 Has departedh3318 from the daughterh1323 of Zionh6726; Her princesh8269 have becomeh1961 like deerh354 That have foundh4672 noh3808 pastureh4829; And they have  1 bfledh1980 withouth3808 strengthh3581b Beforeh6440 the pursuerh7291.

7

In the daysh3117 of her afflictionh6040a and homelessnessh4788  aJerusalemh3389 remembersh2142 allh3605 her precioush4262 thingsh4262 That were from the daysh3117 of oldh6924a, When her peopleh5971a fellh5307 into the handh3027 of the adversaryh6862c And  bnoh369 oneh369 helpedh5826 her. The adversariesh6862c sawh7200 her, They  cmockedh7832 at her  1ruinh4868.

8

Jerusalemh3389 sinnedh2398  agreatlyh2399, Thereforeh5921h3651  bshe has becomeh1961 an uncleanh5206 thingh5206. Allh3605 who honoredh3513 her despiseh2151b her Becauseh3588 they have seenh7200 her nakednessh6172; Evenh1571  cshe herselfh1931 groansh584 and turnsh7725 awayh268.

9

Her  auncleannessh2932a was in her skirtsh7757; She  1did not considerh2142 her  bfutureh319. Therefore she has  2 cfallenh3381 astonishinglyh6382;  dShe hash369 noh369 comforterh5162. " eSeeh7200, O LORDh3068, my afflictionh6040a, For the enemyh340 has  fmagnifiedh1431 himself!"

10

The adversaryh6862c has stretchedh6566 out his handh3027 Overh5921 allh3605 her precioush4261 thingsh4261, For she has seenh7200 the  anationsh1471 enterh935 her sanctuaryh4720, The ones whomh834 You commandedh6680 That they should  bnot enterh935 into Your congregationh6951.

11

Allh3605 her peopleh5971a groanh584  aseekingh1245 breadh3899; They have givenh5414 their precioush4262 thingsh4262 for foodh400 To  brestoreh7725 their  1livesh5315 themselves. "Seeh7200, O LORDh3068, and lookh5027, For I amh1961  cdespisedh2151b."

12

"Is  ait nothingh3808 to allh3605 you who passh5674a this wayh1870? Lookh5027 and seeh7200 ifh518 thereh3426 is anyh3426  1painh4341 like my  1painh4341 Whichh834 was severelyh5953a dealth5953a out to me, Whichh834 the  bLORDh3068 inflictedh3013 on the dayh3117 of His  cfierceh2740 angerh639.

13

"From on highh4791 He senth7971 fireh784 into my  abonesh6106, And it  1prevailedh7287a over them. He has spreadh6566 a  bneth7568 for my feeth7272; He has turnedh7725 me backh268; He has madeh5414 me  cdesolateh8074,  2Fainth1739 allh3605 dayh3117 long.

14

"The  ayokeh5923 of my transgressionsh6588 is boundh8244; By His handh3027 they are knith8276 togetherh8276. They have  bcomeh5927 upon my neckh6677; He has made my strengthh3581b  1failh3782. The Lordh136  chas givenh5414 me into the handsh3027 Of those against whom I am not ableh3201 to standh6965.

15

"The  aLordh136 has rejectedh5541a allh3605 my strongh47 menh47 In my midsth7130; He has calledh7121 an appointedh4150  1timeh4150 againsth5921 me To crushh7665 my  byoungh970 menh970; The Lordh136 has  ctroddenh1869 as in a wineh1660 pressh1660 The virginh1330 daughterh1323 of Judahh3063.

16

"For theseh428 thingsh428 I  aweeph1058;  1My eyesh5869 runh3381 downh3381 with waterh4325; Becauseh3588 farh7368 from me is a  bcomforterh5162, One who restoresh7725 my soulh5315. My childrenh1121 are desolateh8074 Becauseh3588 the enemyh340 has prevailedh1396."

17

Zionh6726  astretchesh6566 out her handsh3027; Thereh369 is noh369 oneh369 to comforth5162 her; The LORDh3068 has  bcommandedh6680 concerning Jacobh3290 That the ones roundh5439 abouth5439 him should be his adversariesh6862c;  cJerusalemh3389 has becomeh1961 an uncleanh5079 thingh5079 amongh996 them.

18

"The LORDh3068 is  arighteoush6662; For I have  brebelledh4784 againsth854 His  1commandh6310; Hearh8085 nowh4994, allh3605 peoplesh5971a, And  cbeholdh7200 my  2painh4341;  dMy virginsh1330 and my youngh970 menh970 Have goneh1980 into captivityh7628b.

19

"I  acalledh7121 to my loversh157, but they deceivedh7411b me; My  bpriestsh3548 and my eldersh2205 perishedh1478 in the cityh5892b Whileh3588 they soughth1245 foodh400 to  crestoreh7725  1their strengthh5315 themselves.

20

"Seeh7200, O LORDh3068, for I am in distressh6887a; My  1 aspirith4578 is greatlyh2560a troubledh2560a; My hearth3820 is overturnedh2015 withinh7130 me, For I have been veryh4784  brebellioush4784. In the streeth2351 the swordh2719  2slaysh7921; In the househ1004 it is like deathh4194.

21

"They have heardh8085 that I  agroanh584; Thereh369 is noh369 oneh369 to comforth5162 me; Allh3605 my enemiesh340 have heardh8085 of my  1calamityh7463a; They are  bgladh7797 that You have doneh6213a it. Oh, that You would bringh935 the dayh3117 which You have proclaimedh7121, That they may becomeh1961  clikeh3644 me.

22

"Let allh3605 their wickednessh7463a comeh935 beforeh6440 You; And  adealh5953a with them as You have dealth5953a with me For allh3605 my transgressionsh6588; For my groansh585 are manyh7227a and my hearth3820 is fainth1742."
