Lamentations 1
1. How <0349> doth the city <05892> sit <03427> solitary <0910>,
[that was] full <07227> of people <05971>! [how] is she become
<01961> as a widow <0490>! she [that was] great <07227> among
the nations <01471>, [and] princess <08282> among the provinces
<04082>, [how] is she become <01961> tributary <04522>!
2 She weepeth <01058> sore in the night <03915>, and her tears
<01832> [are] on <05921> her cheeks <03895>: among all <03605>
her lovers <0157> she hath none <0369> to comfort <05162> [her]:
all <03605> her friends <07453> have dealt treacherously <0898>
with her, they are become <01961> her enemies <0341>.
3 Judah <03063> is gone into <01473> captivity <01540> because
of affliction <06040>, and because of great <07230> servitude
<05656>: she dwelleth <03427> among the heathen <01471>, she
findeth <04672> no <03808> rest <04494>: all <03605> her
persecutors <07291> overtook <05381> her between <0996> the
straits <04712>.
4 The ways <01870> of Zion <06726> do mourn <057>, because
none <01997> come <0935> to the solemn <04150> feasts <04150>:
all <03605> her gates <08179> are desolate <08076>: her priests
<03548> sigh <0584>, her virgins <01330> are afflicted <03013>,
and she [is] in bitterness <04843>.
5 Her adversaries <06862> are the chief <07218>, her enemies
<0341> prosper <07919>; for the LORD <03068> hath afflicted
<03013> her for the multitude <07230> of her transgressions
<06588>: her children <05768> are gone <01980> into captivity
<07628> before <06440> the enemy <06862>.
6 And from the daughter <01323> of Zion <06726> all <03605>
her beauty <01926> is departed <03318>: her princes <08269> are
become <01961> like harts <0354> [that] find <04672> no <03808>
pasture <04829>, and they are gone <03212> without <03808>
strength <03581> before <06440> the pursuer <07291>.
7 Jerusalem <03389> remembered <02142> in the days <03117> of
her affliction <06040> and of her miseries <04788> all <03605>
her pleasant <04262> things that she had <01961> in the days
<03117> of old <06924>, when her people <05971> fell <05307>
into the hand <03027> of the enemy <06862>, and none <0369> did
help <05826> her: the adversaries <06862> saw <07200> her, [and]
did mock <07832> at <05921> her sabbaths <04868>.
8 Jerusalem <03389> hath grievously <02399> sinned <02398>;
therefore she is removed <05206>: all <03605> that honoured
<03513> her despise <02107> her, because <03588> they have seen
<07200> her nakedness <06172>: yea <01571>, she sigheth <0584>,
and turneth <07725> backward <0268>.
9 Her filthiness <02932> [is] in her skirts <07757>; she
remembereth <02142> not her last <0319> end; therefore she came
<03381> down <03381> wonderfully <06382>: she had no <0369>
comforter <05162>. O LORD <03068>, behold <07200> my affliction
<06040>: for the enemy <0341> hath magnified <01431> [himself].
10 The adversary <06862> hath spread <06566> out his hand
<03027> upon all <03605> her pleasant <04621> things: for she
hath seen <07200> [that] the heathen <01471> entered <0935> into
her sanctuary <04720>, whom <0834> thou didst command <06680>
[that] they should not enter <0935> into thy congregation
<06951>.
11 All <03605> her people <05971> sigh <0584>, they seek
<01245> bread <03899>; they have given <05414> their pleasant
<04622> things for meat <0400> to relieve <07725> the soul
<05315>: see <07200>, O LORD <03068>, and consider <05027>; for
I am become <01961> vile <02151>.
12. [Is it] nothing <03808> to you, all <03605> ye that pass
<05674> by? behold <05027>, and see <07200> if <0518> there be
any sorrow <04341> like unto my sorrow <04341>, which <0834> is
done <05953> unto me, wherewith <0834> the LORD <03068> hath
afflicted <03013> [me] in the day <03117> of his fierce <02740>
anger <0639>.
13 From above <04791> hath he sent <07971> fire <0784> into my
bones <06106>, and it prevaileth <07287> against them: he hath
spread <06566> a net <07568> for my feet <07272>, he hath turned
<07725> me back <0268>: he hath made <05414> me desolate <08076>
[and] faint <01738> all <03605> the day <03117>.
14 The yoke <05923> of my transgressions <06588> is bound
<08244> by his hand <03027>: they are wreathed <08276>, [and]
come <05927> up upon my neck <06677>: he hath made my strength
<03581> to fall <03782>, the Lord <0136> hath delivered <05414>
me into [their] hands <03027>, [from whom] I am not able <03201>
to rise <06965> up.
15 The Lord <0136> hath trodden <05541> under foot <05541> all
<03605> my mighty <047> [men] in the midst <07130> of me: he
hath called <07121> an assembly <04150> against <05921> me to
crush <07665> my young <0970> men: the Lord <0136> hath trodden
<01869> the virgin <01330>, the daughter <01323> of Judah
<03063>, [as] in a winepress <01660>.
16 For these <0428> [things] I weep <01058>; mine eye <05869>,
mine eye <05869> runneth <03381> down with water <04325>,
because <03588> the comforter <05162> that should relieve
<07725> my soul <05315> is far <07368> from me: my children
<01121> are desolate <08076>, because <03588> the enemy <0341>
prevailed <01396>.
17 Zion <06726> spreadeth <06566> forth her hands <03027>,
[and there is] none <0369> to comfort <05162> her: the LORD
<03068> hath commanded <06680> concerning Jacob <03290>, [that]
his adversaries <06862> [should be] round <05439> about him:
Jerusalem <03389> is as a menstruous <05079> woman among <0996>
them.
18 The LORD <03068> is righteous <06662>; for I have rebelled
<04784> against his commandment <06310>: hear <08085>, I pray
<04994> you, all <03605> people <05971>, and behold <07200> my
sorrow <04341>: my virgins <01330> and my young <0970> men are
gone <01980> into captivity <07628>.
19 I called <07121> for my lovers <0157>, [but] they deceived
<07411> me: my priests <03548> and mine elders <02205> gave up
the ghost <01478> in the city <05892>, while <03588> they sought
<01245> their meat <0400> to relieve <07725> their souls <05315>.
20 Behold <07200>, O LORD <03068>; for I [am] in distress
<06887>: my bowels <04578> are troubled <02560>; mine heart
<03820> is turned <02015> within <07130> me; for I have
grievously <04784> rebelled <04784>: abroad <02351> the sword
<02719> bereaveth <07921>, at home <01004> [there is] as death
<04194>.
21 They have heard <08085> that I sigh <0584>: [there is] none
<0369> to comfort <05162> me: all <03605> mine enemies <0341>
have heard <08085> of my trouble <07451>; they are glad <07796>
that thou hast done <06213> [it]: thou wilt bring <0935> the day
<03117> [that] thou hast called <07121>, and they shall be like
<03644> unto me.
22 Let all <03605> their wickedness <07451> come <0935> before
<06440> thee; and do <05953> unto them, as thou hast done
<05953> unto me for all <03605> my transgressions <06588>: for
my sighs <0585> [are] many <07227>, and my heart <03820> [is]
faint <01742>.
Lamentations 2
1. How <0349> hath the Lord <0136> covered <05743> the daughter
<01323> of Zion <06726> with a cloud <05743> in his anger <0639>,
[and] cast <07993> down from heaven <08064> unto the earth
<0776> the beauty <08597> of Israel <03478>, and remembered
