Lamentations 1:1-11

1HowH349 doth the cityH5892 sitH3427 solitary, that was fullH7227 of peopleH5971! howH349 is she becomeH1961 as a widowH490! she that was greatH7227 among the nationsH1471, and princessH8282 among the provincesH4082, howH349 is she becomeH1961 tributary!

2She weepeth sore in the nightH3915, and herH3605 tearsH1832 are on herH3605 cheeksH3895; among allH3605 herH3605 loversH157 she hath noneH369 to comfortH5162 herH3605: allH3605 herH3605 friendsH7453 have dealtH898 treacherouslyH898 with herH3605, they are becomeH1961 herH3605 enemiesH341.

3JudahH3063 is goneH1540 intoH1540 captivityH1540 becauseH7230 of affliction, and becauseH7230 of greatH7230 servitudeH5656; sheH1931 dwelleth among the heathen, sheH1931 findeth noH3808 restH4494: allH3605 herH3605 persecutorsH7291 overtookH5381 herH3605 withinH5381 the straits.

4The waysH1870 of ZionH6726 doH3605 mournH57, becauseH1097 noneH3605 comeH935 to the solemn assemblyH4150; allH3605 herH3605 gatesH8179 are desolateH8074, herH3605 priestsH3548 doH3605 sighH584: herH3605 virginsH1330 are afflictedH3013, and sheH1931 herselfH1931 is in bitternessH4751.

5HerH5921 adversaries are becomeH1961 the headH7218, herH5921 enemiesH341 prosperH7951; for the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 herH5921 for the multitudeH7230 of herH5921 transgressionsH6588: herH5921 young childrenH5768 are goneH1980 intoH1980 captivityH7628 beforeH6440 the adversary.

6And from the daughterH1323 of Zion allH3605 herH3605 majestyH1926 is departedH3318: herH3605 princesH8269 are becomeH1961 like harts that findH4672 noH3808 pastureH4829, and they are goneH3318 withoutH3808 strengthH3581 beforeH6440 the pursuerH7291.

7JerusalemH3389 remembereth in the daysH3117 of herH3605 affliction and of herH3605 miseries allH3605 herH3605 pleasant things that were from the daysH3117 of old: when herH3605 peopleH5971 fellH5307 intoH5921 the handH3027 of the adversary, and noneH369 didH834 helpH5826 herH3605, the adversaries sawH7200 herH3605, they didH834 mockH7832 at herH3605 desolations.

8JerusalemH3389 hath grievously sinnedH2398; therefore sheH1931 is becomeH1961 as an uncleanH5206 thingH3651: allH3605 that honoured herH3605 despise herH3605, becauseH3588 they have seenH7200 herH3605 nakednessH6172: yeaH3588, sheH1931 sigheth, and turneth backwardH268.

9HerH7200 filthiness was in herH7200 skirtsH7757; sheH3588 rememberedH2142 notH3808 herH7200 latterH319 endH319; therefore is sheH3588 comeH3381 downH3381 wonderfully; sheH3588 hath noH3808 comforterH5162: beholdH7200, O LORDH3068, my affliction; for the enemyH341 hath magnifiedH1431 himselfH1431.

10The adversary hath spreadH6566 outH5921 his handH3027 uponH5921 allH3605 herH3605 pleasantH4261 things: for sheH834 hath seenH7200 that the heathen are enteredH935 intoH935 herH3605 sanctuaryH4720, concerning whomH834 thou didst commandH6680 that they should notH3808 enterH935 intoH935 thy congregationH6951.

11AllH3605 herH3605 peopleH5971 sighH584, they seekH1245 breadH3899; they have givenH5414 their pleasant things for meat to refresh the soulH5315: seeH7200, O LORDH3068, and beholdH7200; for I am becomeH1961 vile.
