How lonely
lies
the city, once
so
full of people! She who was great among the nations has
become
a widow.
The
princess of
the provinces has
become a
slave.
How does
the city sit
solitary
, that
was
full of people! She has
become
as
a
widow,
who was great among the nations !
She
who
was
a princess among
the provinces is
become tributary!
She weeps aloud
in the night, with
tears upon
her cheeks .
Among all her lovers there
is
no
one
to comfort her .
All her friends have betrayed
her; they have
become her enemies.
She weeps sore
in the night, and
her
tears are
on
her cheeks ;
Among all her lovers she
has
none
to comfort her :
All her friends have dealt
treacherously
with
her; they are
become her enemies.
Judah has
gone into exile
under
affliction and harsh
slavery
; she dwells among the nations but
finds no place
to
rest .
All her pursuers
have
overtaken
her in
the midst
of
her
distress
.
Judah is
gone into captivity
because
of
affliction ,
and because
of
great
servitude
; She dwells among the nations ,
she
finds no rest :
All her persecutors
overtook
her within
the straits
.
The roads
to
Zion mourn, because no
one
comes
to her
appointed
feasts.
All her gates are deserted;
her priests groan,
her maidens
grieve
, and she herself is bitter
with
anguish
.
The ways
of
Zion do
mourn, because none
come
to the
solemn
assembly;
All her gates are desolate,
her priests do
sigh:
Her virgins
are
afflicted
, and she herself is in
bitterness
.
Her foes
have
become her
masters;
her enemies are
at
ease.
For the
LORD
has brought
her grief
because
of her many
transgressions .
Her children have
gone away
as
captives
before the enemy
.
Her adversaries
are
become the
head,
her enemies prosper;
For Yahweh
has afflicted
her for
the
multitude
of her transgressions :
Her young
children are
gone into
captivity
before the adversary
.
All
the
splendor
has
departed
from the Daughter of Zion .
Her princes are like deer
that find no pasture ;
they lack
the
strength to
flee
in
the
face
of
the hunter
.
From the daughter of Zion all
her majesty
is
departed:
Her
princes are become
like harts
that find no pasture ,
They are
gone
without
strength before
the pursuer
.
In the days of her affliction and wandering
Jerusalem
remembers
all the
treasures
that were hers
in
days of old .
When her people fell into enemy
hands
she
received
no
help .
Her enemies
looked
upon
her, laughing
at her downfall
.
Jerusalem
remembers
in the days of her affliction and of
her
miseries
all her
pleasant
things
that were from
the
days of old :
When her people fell into the
hand
of
the
adversary,
and
none
did
help her ,
The
adversaries
saw
her, they
did
mock
at her desolations
.
Jerusalem has sinned greatly
; therefore she has
become an object
of
scorn.
All who honored her now
despise her, for
they have seen her nakedness ;
she herself
groans
and turns away
.
Jerusalem has grievously
sinned; therefore she is
become as
an unclean
thing;
All who honored her despise her, because
they have seen her nakedness :
Yes,
she sighs,
and turns backward
.
Her uncleanness
stains
her skirts; she did
not
consider
her end .
Her
downfall
was
astounding
; there
was
no one
to
comfort
her.
Look
, O
LORD
, on
my affliction ,
for the enemy has triumphed!
Her filthiness
was
in
her skirts; she didn't
remember
her latter
end; Therefore
is
she
come
down
wonderfully;
she
has
no comforter:
See
, Yahweh
, my affliction ;
for the enemy has magnified
himself.
The adversary has seized
all her treasures.
For she has seen the nations enter
her sanctuary —
those
You had
forbidden
to
enter Your assembly.
The adversary has spread
out
his
hand
on
all her pleasant
things:
For she has seen that
the nations are
entered
into
her sanctuary ,
Concerning
whom
you did
command
that
they
should
not
enter into
your assembly.
All her people groan
as
they search
for
bread .
They have traded
their treasures
for food to keep
themselves
alive.
Look, O
LORD
, and consider,
for I have
become despised
.
All her people sigh,
they seek
bread ;
They have given
their pleasant
things
for food to refresh
the
soul:
Look, Yahweh
, and see;
for I am
become abject
.
Is this
nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around
and see !
Is
there any sorrow like mine
, which was
inflicted
on me, which the
LORD
made
me suffer
on
the day of His fierce anger ?
Is it
nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look ,
and see if
there be
any sorrow like my
sorrow
, which is
brought
on me, With
which Yahweh
has
afflicted
[
me ]
in
the day of his fierce anger .
He
sent
fire
from on high, and it overpowered
my
bones.
He spread a net for my feet and
turned me back .
He made me desolate ,
faint all the day long
.
From on high has
he
sent
fire
into
my
bones
, and it prevails
against
them;
He has
spread a net for my feet ,
he
has
turned me back :
He has
made me desolate and
faint all the day.
My transgressions are
bound into
a
yoke,
knit
together
by His hand; they are draped
over
my neck ,
and
the
Lord
has broken
my strength .
He
has delivered me into the
hands of
those
I cannot
withstand
.
The
yoke
of
my transgressions is
bound by his hand; They are knit
together,
they
are
come
up
on
my neck ;
he
has made
my strength to
fail:
The
Lord
has delivered me into their
hands ,
against
whom
I am
not
able
to
stand
.
The Lord has rejected
all the
mighty men in my
midst; He has summoned
an
army
against me to crush my young warriors.
Like
grapes
in
a
winepress,
the Lord has trampled
the Virgin Daughter of Judah.
The Lord has set
at
nothing
all my
mighty men in the
midst of
me
; He has called
a
solemn
assembly
against me to crush my young men:
The Lord has trodden
as
in
a
winepress
the virgin daughter of Judah.
For these things I weep; my eyes
flow
with
tears.
For
there
is
no
one
nearby
to
comfort
me
, no
one
to
revive
my soul .
My children are destitute
because the enemy has prevailed.
For these things I weep; my eye
, my eye
runs
down
with
water;
Because
the
comforter
who
should
refresh
my
soul is
far
from
me:
My children are desolate,
because the enemy has prevailed.
Zion stretches
out
her hands ,
but
there is no
one
to comfort her .
The
LORD
has decreed
against
Jacob that his
neighbors
become
his foes.
Jerusalem has
become
an unclean thing among
them
.
Zion spreads
forth
her hands ;
there is none
to comfort her ;
Yahweh
has commanded
concerning
Jacob ,
that those
who
are
round
about
him
should
be
his adversaries:
Jerusalem is
among
them
as
an unclean thing.
The
LORD
is righteous ,
for I have rebelled against His command.
Listen,
all you people;
look
upon
my suffering.
My young men and
maidens
have
gone into captivity.
Yahweh
is righteous ;
for I have rebelled against his commandment:
Please
hear
all you peoples,
and
see
my sorrow:
My virgins
and
my
young men are
gone into captivity.
I called out
to
my lovers, but they have
betrayed
me .
My priests and elders perished
in the city while they searched
for
food to keep
themselves
alive
.
I called for
my lovers, [
but ]
they deceived
me :
My priests and my
elders gave
up
the
spirit
in the city ,
While they sought
them
food to refresh
their
souls
.
See, O
LORD,
how
distressed
I
am!
I am churning
within
; my heart is pounding
within me ,
for I have been
most
rebellious.
Outside,
the sword bereaves ;
inside
, there is death.
See, Yahweh;
for
I am in
distress
; my heart is troubled;
My
heart
is
turned
within me ;
for I have grievously
rebelled:
Abroad
the sword bereaves, at
home
there is as
death.
People
have heard my
groaning,
but
there is no
one
to comfort me .
All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that You have caused
it .
May
You bring the day You have announced
, so
that
they may
become
like me.
They
have heard that
I
sigh;
there is none
to comfort me ;
All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you have done
it :
You will
bring the day that
you have proclaimed
, and
they shall
be
like me.
Let all their wickedness come before You ,
and
deal
with
them as You have dealt
with
me because
of
all my transgressions .
For my groans
are many, and my heart is faint.
Let all their wickedness come before you ;
Do
to
them ,
as you have done
to
me for
all my transgressions :
For my sighs
are many, and my heart is faint.
