Lamentations 1:11-22
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. 12Is it nothingH3808 to youH834, allH3605 ye that passH5674 by? beholdH7200, and seeH7200 ifH518 there be anyH3605 sorrowH4341 like unto my sorrowH4341, whichH834 is doneH3605 unto meH413, wherewith the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 meH413 in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639. 13From on highH4791 hath he sentH7971 fireH784 intoH5414 my bonesH6106, and it prevaileth againstH3605 them: he hath spreadH6566 a netH7568 for my feetH7272, he hath turnedH7725 meH5414 backH7725; he hath madeH5414 meH5414 desolateH8076 and faintH1739 allH3605 the dayH3117. 14The yokeH5923 of my transgressionsH6588 is boundH8244 by his handH3027; they are knitH8276 togetherH5921, they are comeH5927 upH5927 uponH5921 my neckH6677; he hath madeH5414 my strengthH3581 to failH3808: the LordH136 hath deliveredH5414 meH5414 intoH5921 their handsH3027, againstH5921 whom I am notH3808 ableH3201 to standH6965. 15The LordH136 hath setH1869 at nought allH3605 my mightyH47 menH970 in the midstH7130 of meH5921; he hath calledH7121 a solemn assemblyH4150 againstH5921 meH5921 to crushH7665 my youngH970 menH970: the LordH136 hath troddenH1869 as in a winepress the virginH1330 daughterH1323 of JudahH3063. 16For theseH428 things I weepH1058; mineH4480 eyeH5869, mineH4480 eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with waterH4325; becauseH3588 the comforterH5162 that should refresh my soulH5315 is farH7368 from meH5315: my childrenH1121 are desolateH8074, becauseH3588 the enemyH341 hath prevailedH1396. 17ZionH6726 spreadeth forth herH996 handsH3027; there is noneH369 to comfortH5162 herH996; the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680 concerning JacobH3290, that they that are roundH5439 aboutH1961 him should be his adversaries: JerusalemH3389 is among them as an uncleanH5079 thingH5079. 18The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662; for I have rebelledH4784 againstH4784 his commandmentH6310: hearH8085, I prayH4994 youH3588, allH3605 ye peoplesH5971, and beholdH7200 my sorrowH4341: my virginsH1330 and my youngH970 menH970 are goneH1980 intoH1980 captivityH7628. 19I calledH7121 for my loversH157, but they deceivedH7411 meH5315: my priestsH3548 and mine eldersH2205 gaveH7121 upH853 the ghost in the cityH5892, whileH3588 they soughtH1245 them meat to refresh their soulsH5315. 20BeholdH7200, O LORDH3068; for I am in distressH6862; my bowelsH4578 are troubled; mine heartH3820 is turnedH2015 withinH7130 meH7200; for I have grievously rebelledH4784: abroadH2351 the swordH2719 bereaveth, at homeH1004 there is as deathH4194. 21They have heardH8085 that I sighH584; there is noneH369 to comfortH5162 meH935; allH3605 mine enemiesH341 have heardH8085 of my troubleH7451; they are gladH7797 that thou hast doneH6213 it: thou wilt bringH935 the dayH3117 that thou hast proclaimedH7121, and they shall be like unto meH935. 22Let allH3605 their wickednessH7451 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee; and doH3605 unto them, as thou hast doneH7451 unto meH6440 for allH3605 my transgressionsH6588: for my sighs are manyH7227, and my heartH3820 is faintH1742.
