Her gatesh8179 are sunkh2883h8804 into the groundh776; he hath destroyedh6h8765 and brokenh7665h8765 her barsh1280: her kingh4428 and her princesh8269 are among the Gentilesh1471: the lawh8451 is no more ; her prophetsh5030 also findh4672h8804 no visionh2377 from the LORDh3068.

10

The eldersh2205 of the daughterh1323 of Zionh6726 sith3427h8799 upon the groundh776, and keep silenceh1826h8799: they have cast uph5927h8689 dusth6083 upon their headsh7218; they have girdedh2296h8804 themselves with sackclothh8242: the virginsh1330 of Jerusalemh3389 hang downh3381h8689 their headsh7218 to the groundh776.

What thing shall I take to witnessh5749h8686h8675h5749h8799 for thee? what thingh4100 shall I likenh1819h8762 to thee, O daughterh1323 of Jerusalemh3389? what shall I equalh7737h8686 to thee, that I may comforth5162h8762 thee, O virginh1330 daughterh1323 of Zionh6726? for thy breachh7667 is greath1419 like the seah3220: who can healh7495h8799 thee?

14

Thy prophetsh5030 have seenh2372h8804 vainh7723 and foolish thingsh8602 for thee: and they have not discoveredh1540h8765 thine iniquityh5771, to turn awayh7725h8687 thy captivityh7622h8675h7622; but have seenh2372h8799 for thee falseh7723 burdensh4864 and causes of banishmenth4065.

All that passh5674h8802 by claph5606h8804 their handsh3709 at theeh1870; they hissh8319h8804 and wagh5128h8686 their headh7218 at the daughterh1323 of Jerusalemh3389, saying, Is this the cityh5892 that men callh559h8799 The perfectionh3632 of beautyh3308, The joyh4885 of the whole earthh776? by: Heb. by the way

16

All thine enemiesh341h8802 have openedh6475h8804 their mouthh6310 against thee: they hissh8319h8804 and gnashh2786h8799 the teethh8127: they sayh559h8804, We have swallowed her uph1104h8765: certainlyh389 this is the dayh3117 that we looked forh6960h8765; we have foundh4672h8804, we have seenh7200h8804 it .

17

The LORDh3068 hath doneh6213h8804 that which he had devisedh2161h8804; he hath fulfilledh1214h8765 his wordh565 that he had commandedh6680h8765 in the daysh3117 of oldh6924: he hath thrown downh2040h8804, and hath not pitiedh2550h8804: and he hath caused thine enemyh341h8802 to rejoiceh8055h8762 over thee, he hath set uph7311h8689 the hornh7161 of thine adversariesh6862.

Their hearth3820 criedh6817h8804 unto the Lordh136, O wallh2346 of the daughterh1323 of Zionh6726, let tearsh1832 run downh3381h8685 like a riverh5158 dayh3119 and nighth3915: giveh5414h8799 thyself no resth6314; let not the appleh1323 of thine eyeh5869 ceaseh1826h8799.

19

Ariseh6965h8798, cry outh7442h8798 in the nighth3915: in the beginningh7218 of the watchesh821 pour outh8210h8798 thine hearth3820 like waterh4325 beforeh5227 the faceh6440 of the Lordh136: lift uph5375h8798 thy handsh3709 toward him for the lifeh5315 of thy young childrenh5768, that fainth5848h8803 for hungerh7458 in the toph7218 of every streeth2351.

20

Beholdh7200h8798, O LORDh3068, and considerh5027h8685 to whom thou hast doneh5953h8782 thish3541. Shall the womenh802 eath398h8799 their fruith6529, and childrenh5768 of a span longh2949? shall the priesth3548 and the propheth5030 be slainh2026h8735 in the sanctuaryh4720 of the Lordh136? of a span...: or, swaddled with their hands?

21

The youngh5288 and the oldh2205 lieh7901h8804 on the groundh776 in the streetsh2351: my virginsh1330 and my young menh970 are fallenh5307h8804 by the swordh2719; thou hast slainh2026h8804 them in the dayh3117 of thine angerh639; thou hast killedh2873h8804, and not pitiedh2550h8804.

22

Thou hast calledh7121h8799 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 swaddledh2946h8765 and brought uph7235h8765 hath mine enemyh341h8802 consumedh3615h8765.
