Lamentations 1:11-22
11AllH3605 her peopleH5971 groanH584, 1seekingH1245 breadH3899; They have givenH5414 their treasuresH4262 for foodH400 To 2restoreH7725 their 3livesH5315. “SeeH7200, LordH3068, and lookH5027, For I amH1961 4despisedH2151.”12“Is it 5nothingH3808 to allH3605 you who passH5674 this wayH1870? LookH5027 and seeH7200 ifH518 thereH3426 isH3426 any painH4341 like my painH4341 WhichH834 was inflictedH5953 on me, With whichH834 the 6LordH3068 tormentedH3013 me on the dayH3117 of His 7fierceH2740 angerH639.13From 8the heightH4791 He sentH7971 fireH784 into my 9bonesH6106, And it dominatedH7287 them. He has spreadH6566 a 10netH7568 for my feetH7272; He has turnedH7725 me backH268; He has madeH5414 me 11desolateH8074, 12FaintH1739 allH3605 dayH3117 long.14The 13yokeH5923 of my wrongdoingsH6588 is boundH8244; By His handH3027 they are wovenH8276 togetherH8276. They have 14comeH5927 upon my neckH6677; He has made my strengthH3581 15failH3782. The LordH136 16has handedH5414H3027 me overH5414 To those against whom I amH3201 not ableH3201 to standH6965.15The 17LordH136 has thrownH5541 awayH5541 allH3605 my strongH47 menH47 In my midstH7130; He has calledH7121 an appointedH4150 18timeH4150 againstH5921 me To crushH7665 my 19youngH970 menH970; The LordH136 has 20troddenH1869 as in a wineH1660 pressH1660 The virginH1330 daughterH1323 of JudahH3063.16For theseH428 thingsH428 I 21weepH1058; 22My eyesH5869 runH3381 downH3381 with waterH4325; BecauseH3588 farH7368 from me isH7368 a 23comforterH5162, One to restoreH7725 my soulH5315. My childrenH1121 are desolateH8074 BecauseH3588 the enemyH340 has prevailedH1396.”17ZionH6726 24stretchesH6566 outH6566 with her handsH3027; ThereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 to comfortH5162 her; The LordH3068 has 25commandedH6680 regarding JacobH3290 That those aroundH5439 him become his adversariesH6862; 26JerusalemH3389 has becomeH1961 a filthyH5079 thingH5079 amongH996 them.18“The LordH3068 is 27righteousH6662, For I have 28rebelledH4784 againstH854 His 29commandH6310; HearH8085 nowH4994, allH3605 peoplesH5971, And 30seeH7200 my painH4341; 31My virginsH1330 and my youngH970 menH970 Have goneH1980 into captivityH7628.19I 32calledH7121 to my loversH157, but they desertedH7411 me; My 33priestsH3548 and my eldersH2205 perishedH1478 in the cityH5892 WhileH3588 they soughtH1245 foodH400 to 34restoreH7725 their 35strengthH5315 themselves.20SeeH7200, LordH3068, for I amH6887 inH6887 distressH6887; My 3637spiritH4578 is greatlyH2560 troubledH2560; My heartH3820 is overturnedH2015 withinH7130 me, For I have been veryH4784 38rebelliousH4784. In the streetH2351 the swordH2719 has madeH7921 women childlessH7921; In the houseH1004 it is like deathH4194.21They have heardH8085 that I 39groanH584; ThereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 to comfortH5162 me, AllH3605 my enemiesH340 have heardH8085 of my disasterH7463; They are 40joyfulH7797 that You have doneH6213 it. Oh, that You would bringH935 the dayH3117 which You have proclaimedH7121, So that they will becomeH1961 41likeH3644 me.22May allH3605 their wickednessH7463 comeH935 beforeH6440 You; And 42dealH5953 with them justH3512 asH3512 You have dealtH5953 with me For allH3605 my wrongdoingsH6588. For my groansH585 are manyH7227 and my heartH3820 is faintH1742.”
