Lamentations 1:12-22
12Is it nothing to you, all ye that passH5674 by? Behold, and seeH7200 if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, whom Jehovah hath afflicted in the dayH3117 of his fierce angerH639. 13From on highH4791 hath he sentH7971 fireH784 into my bonesH6106, and it prevaileth against them; he hath spreadH6566 a netH7568 for my feetH7272; he hath turnedH7725 me backH7725; he hath madeH5414 me desolateH8076 [and] faintH1739 all the dayH3117. 14The yokeH5923 of my transgressionsH6588 is bound by his handH3027: they are wreathed, they are comeH5927 up upon my neckH6677; he hath madeH5414 my strengthH3581 to fail; the LordH136 hath delivered me into handsH3027 out of which I am not ableH3201 to riseH6965 up. 15The LordH136 hath cast down all my mightyH47 menH970 in the midstH7130 of me; he hath calledH7121 an assembly against me to crush my youngH970 menH970; the LordH136 hath troddenH1869 as a winepress the virginH1330 daughterH1323 of JudahH3063. 16For these thingsH428 I weepH1058; mine eyeH5869, mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with waterH4325: for the comforterH5162 that should revive my soulH5315 is farH7368 from me; my children are desolateH8074, for the enemyH341 hath prevailedH1396. 17ZionH6726 spreadeth forth her handsH3027; there is none to comfortH5162 her; Jehovah hath commandedH6680 concerning JacobH3290, [that] his adversaries [should beH1961] roundH5439 about him; JerusalemH3389 is as an impurityH5079 among them. 18Jehovah is righteousH6662; for I have rebelledH4784 against his commandment. HearH8085, I pray you, all ye peoplesH5971, and behold my sorrow. My virginsH1330 and my youngH970 menH970 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628. 19I calledH7121 for my loversH157, they have deceived me; my priestsH3548 and mine eldersH2205 have expired in the cityH5892, while they soughtH1245 them foodH400 to revive their soulH5315. 20SeeH7200, Jehovah, for I am in distressH6862, my bowelsH4578 are troubled; my heartH3820 is turnedH2015 within me, for I have grievously rebelledH4784: without, the swordH2719 hath bereavedH7921 [me], within, it is as deathH4194. 21They have heardH8085 that I sigh: I have no comforterH5162: all mine enemiesH341 have heardH8085 of my calamityH7451; they are glad that thou hast done it. Thou wilt bringH935 the dayH3117 that thou hast calledH7121, and they shall beH1961 like unto me. 22Let all their wickednessH7451 comeH935 before thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressionsH6588: for my sighs are manyH7227, and my heartH3820 is faintH1742.
