Lamentations 2:10-19

10The eldersH2205 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 sitH3427 uponH5921 the groundH776, they keep silence; they have castH5927 upH5927 dustH6083 uponH5921 their headsH7218; they have girdedH2296 themselvesH5921 with sackclothH8242: the virginsH1330 of JerusalemH3389 hang downH3381 their headsH7218 to the groundH776.

11Mine eyesH5869 do failH3615 with tearsH1832, my bowelsH4578 are troubled, my liverH3516 is pouredH8210 uponH5921 the earthH776, for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971; becauseH5921 the young childrenH5768 and the sucklings swoon in the streetsH7339 of the cityH7151.

12They sayH559 to their mothersH517, WhereH346 is corn and wineH3196? when they swoon as the woundedH2491 in the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892, when their soulH5315 is pouredH8210 outH8210 intoH413 their mothers’H517 bosomH2436.

13WhatH4100 shall I testify unto thee? whatH4100 shall I likenH1819 to thee, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389? whatH4100 shall I equalH1819 to thee, that I may comfortH5162 thee, O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726? for thy breach is greatH1419 like the seaH3220: who canH4310 healH7495 thee?

14Thy prophetsH5030 have seenH2372 visionsH7723 for thee of vanityH7723 and foolishness; and they have notH3808 discovered thine iniquityH5771, to bringH7725 againH7725 thy captivityH7622: but have seenH2372 for thee burdens of vanityH7723 and causes of banishment.

15AllH3605 that passH5674 by clapH5606 their handsH3709 at thee; they hissH8319 and wagH5128 their headH7218 at the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559: Is this the cityH5892 that menH7218 calledH559 The perfectionH3632 of beautyH3308, The joyH4885 of the wholeH3605 earthH776?

16AllH3605 thine enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthH6310 wideH6475 againstH5921 thee; they hissH8319 and gnashH2786 the teethH8127; they sayH559, WeH3117 have swallowedH1104 herH3605 upH7200; certainlyH389 this is the dayH3117 that weH3117 lookedH7200 for; weH3117 have foundH4672, weH3117 have seenH7200 it.

17The LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 that whichH834 he devised; he hath fulfilled his wordH565 that he commandedH6680 in the daysH3117 of old; he hath thrownH2040 downH2040, and hath notH3808 pitied: and he hath causedH834 the enemyH341 to rejoiceH8055 over thee, he hath exaltedH7311 the hornH7161 of thine adversaries.

18Their heartH3820 criedH6817 unto the LordH136: O wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, letH5414 tearsH1832 runH3381 downH3381 like a riverH5158 dayH3119 and nightH3915; giveH5414 thyself noH408 respite; letH5414 notH408 the apple of thine eyeH5869 cease.

19AriseH6965, cryH7442 outH8210 in the nightH3915, at the beginningH7218 of the watchesH821; pourH8210 outH8210 thine heartH3820 like waterH4325 beforeH6440 the faceH6440 of the LordH136: liftH5375 upH6965 thy handsH3709 towardH413 him for the lifeH5315 of thy young childrenH5768, that faint for hungerH7458 at the topH7218 of everyH3605 streetH2351.
