Lamentations 2:1-9

1HowH349 hath the LordH136 coveredH1323 the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 with a cloudH5743 in his angerH639! he hath castH7993 downH7993 from heavenH8064 unto the earthH776 the beautyH8597 of IsraelH3478, and hath notH3808 rememberedH2142 his footstool in the dayH3117 of his angerH639.

2The LordH136 hath swallowedH1104 upH1104 allH3605 the habitationsH4999 of JacobH3290, and hath notH3808 pitied; he hath thrownH2040 downH2040 in his wrathH5678 the strong holds of the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063; he hath broughtH1104 them downH2040 to the groundH776: he hath profanedH2490 the kingdomH4467 and the princesH8269 thereof.

3He hath cutH1438 offH1438 in fierceH2750 angerH639 allH3605 the hornH7161 of IsraelH3478; he hath drawnH7725 backH7725 his rightH3225 handH3225 from beforeH6440 the enemyH341: and he hath burnedH1197 upH398 JacobH3290 like a flamingH3852 fireH784, whichH784 devoureth roundH5439 aboutH5439.

4He hath bentH1869 his bowH7198 like an enemyH341, he hath stoodH5324 with his rightH3225 handH3225 as an adversary, and hath slainH2026 allH3605 that were pleasantH4261 to the eyeH5869: in the tentH168 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 he hath pouredH8210 outH8210 his furyH2534 like fireH784.

5The LordH136 is becomeH1961 as an enemyH341, he hath swallowedH1104 upH1104 IsraelH3478; he hath swallowedH1104 upH1104 allH3605 herH3605 palacesH759, he hath destroyedH7843 his strong holds: and he hath multipliedH7235 in the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063 mourningH592 and lamentation.

6And he hath violentlyH2554 taken away his tabernacleH7900, as if it were of a gardenH1588; he hath destroyedH7843 his placeH4150 of assemblyH4150: the LORDH3068 hath caused solemn assemblyH4150 and sabbathH7676 to be forgottenH7911 in ZionH6726, and hath despisedH5006 in the indignationH2195 of his angerH639 the kingH4428 and the priestH3548.

7The LordH3068 hath castH5414 offH5414 his altarH4196, he hath abhorred his sanctuaryH4720, he hath givenH5414 upH5462 intoH3027 the handH3027 of the enemyH341 the wallsH2346 of herH5414 palacesH759: they have madeH5414 a noiseH6963 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, as in the dayH3117 of a solemn assemblyH4150.

8The LORDH3068 hath purposedH2803 to destroyH7843 the wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; he hath stretchedH5186 outH5186 the line, he hath notH3808 withdrawn his handH3027 from destroyingH7843: but he hath madeH7725 the rampartH2426 and wallH2346 to lamentH56; they languishH535 togetherH3162.

9HerH1571 gatesH8179 are sunkH2883 intoH776 the groundH776; he hath destroyedH6 and brokenH7665 herH1571 barsH1280: herH1571 kingH4428 and herH1571 princesH8269 are among the nationsH1471 whereH3808 the lawH8451 is notH3808; yea, herH1571 prophetsH5030 findH4672 noH3808 visionH2377 from the LORDH3068.
