Lamentations 2:13-19

13What shall I take to witness for thee? what shall I likenH1819 unto thee, daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389? What shall I equal to thee, that I may comfortH5162 thee, virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726? For thy ruinH7667 is greatH1419 as the seaH3220: who will healH7495 thee?

14Thy prophetsH5030 have seenH2372 vanityH7723 and folly for thee; and they have not revealedH1540 thine iniquityH5771, to turnH7725 awayH7725 thy captivityH7622; but have seenH2372 for thee burdens of falsehoodH7723 and causes of expulsion.

15All that passH5674 by clapH5606 [their] handsH3709 at thee; they hissH8319 and shakeH5128 their headH7218 at the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389: Is this the cityH5892 which they called, The perfection of beautyH3308, The joyH4885 of the whole earthH776?

16All thine enemiesH341 openH6475 their mouthH6310 against thee, they hissH8319 and gnashH2786 the teethH8127: they sayH559, We have swallowedH1104 [her] up; this is forsooth the dayH3117 that we lookedH7200 for: we have foundH4672, we have seenH7200 [it].

17Jehovah hath done what he had devised; he hath fulfilled his wordH565 which he had commandedH6680 from the daysH3117 of old: he hath thrown downH2040, and hath not sparedH2550, and he hath caused the enemyH341 to rejoiceH8055 over thee; he hath set up the hornH7161 of thine adversaries.

18Their heartH3820 criedH6817 unto the LordH136. O wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, let tearsH1832 run down like a torrent dayH3119 and nightH3915: giveH5414 thyself no respite; let not the apple of thine eyeH5869 rest.

19AriseH6965, cryH7442 out in the nightH3915, in the beginning of the watchesH821; pourH8210 out thy heartH3820 like waterH4325 before the faceH6440 of the LordH136: liftH5375 up thy handsH3709 toward him for the lifeH5315 of thy young childrenH5768, who faint from hungerH7458 at the topH7218 of all the streetsH2351.
