Lamentations 2:10-19

10The eldersH2205 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 1SitH3427 on the groundH776, they 2are silentH1826. They have thrownH5927 3dustH6083 on their headsH7218; They have girdedH2296 themselves with 4sackclothH8242. The 5virginsH1330 of JerusalemH3389 Have bowedH3381 their headsH7218 to the groundH776.11My 6eyesH5869 failH3615 because of tearsH1832, My 78spiritH4578 is greatlyH2560 troubledH2560; My 910heartH3516 is pouredH8210 out on the earthH776 11BecauseH5921 of the 12destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, When 13littleH5768 onesH5768 and infantsH3243 faintH5848 In the streetsH7339 of the cityH7151.12They sayH559 to their mothersH517, “14WhereH346 is grainH1715 and wineH3196?” As they faintH5848 like a woundedH2491 manH2491 In the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892, As their 15lifeH5315 is pouredH8210 out On their mothers’H517 bosomH2436.13HowH4100 shall I admonishH5749 you? To whatH4100 16shall I compareH1819 you, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389? To whatH4100 shall I likenH7737 you as I comfortH5162 you, O 17virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726? For your 18ruinH7667 is as vastH1419 as the seaH3220; WhoH4310 can 19healH7495 you?14Your 20prophetsH5030 have seenH2372 for you FalseH7723 and foolishH8602 visions; And they have not 21exposedH1540 your iniquityH5771 So as to restoreH7725 you from captivityH7622, But they have 22seenH2372 for you falseH7723 and misleadingH4065 23oraclesH4065.15AllH3605 who passH5674 alongH5674 the wayH1870 24ClapH5606 their handsH3709 in derision at you; They 25hissH8319 and shakeH5128 their headsH7218 At the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389, “Is thisH2088 the cityH5892 of whichH7945 they saidH559, ‘26The perfectionH3632 of beautyH3308, 27A joyH4885 to allH3605 the earthH776’?”16AllH3605 28your enemiesH340 Have openedH6475 their mouthsH6310 wide againstH5921 you; They hissH8319 and 29gnashH2786 their teethH8127. They sayH559, “We have 30swallowedH1104 her up! SurelyH389 thisH2088 is the 31dayH3117 for whichH7945 we waitedH6960; We have reachedH4672 it, we have seenH7200 it.”17The LordH3068 has 32doneH6213 whatH834 He purposedH2161; He has accomplishedH1214 His wordH565 WhichH834 He commandedH6680 from daysH3117 of oldH6924. He has thrownH2040 downH2040 33withoutH3808 sparingH2550, And He has caused the enemyH340 to 34rejoiceH8055 overH5921 you; He has 35exaltedH7311 the 36mightH7161 of your adversariesH6862.18Their 37heartH3820 criedH6817 out to the LordH136, “O 38wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, Let your 39tearsH1832 runH3381 downH3381 like a riverH5158 dayH3119 and nightH3915; GiveH5414 yourself noH408 reliefH6314, Let 40your eyesH5869 haveH1826 noH408 restH1826.19AriseH6965, cryH7442 aloudH7442 in the 41nightH3915 At the beginningH7218 of the night watchesH821; 42PourH8210 out your heartH3820 like waterH4325 BeforeH5227 the presenceH6440 of the LordH136; LiftH5375 up your handsH3709 to Him For the 43lifeH5315 of your littleH5768 onesH5768 Who are 44faintH5848 because of hungerH7458 At the headH7218 of everyH3605 streetH2351.”
