Berean Standard Bible
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
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 hath
she
sat
alone,
The city abounding
with
people! She hath
been
as
a widow ,
The mighty
among
nations!
Princes
among
provinces ,
She
hath
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 weepeth
sore
in the night, And
her tear
`is'
on
her cheeks,
There is no comforter
for
her out
of
all her lovers,
All
her
friends dealt
treacherously
by
her ,
They have been
to
her for
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
.
Removed
hath
Judah because
of
affliction ,
And because
of
the
abundance
of
her
service
; She hath
dwelt
among nations ,
She
hath
not
found
rest ,
All her pursuers have overtaken her between
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 are
mourning
, Without
any
coming
at
the
appointed time,
All her gates are desolate,
her priests sigh
, Her virgins
are
afflicted
--
and she hath
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
have become chief,
Her enemies have
been
at ease ,
For Jehovah
hath
afflicted
her ,
For
the
abundance
of her transgressions ,
Her infants
have gone captive
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
.
And
go
out
from the daughter of Zion doth
all
her honour,
Her
princes have
been
as
harts
--
They
have
not
found
pasture ,
And
they go
powerless
before
a
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
.
Remembered
hath
Jerusalem
`
In '
the days of her affliction and her
mournings,
all her
desirable
things
that were from
the
days of old ,
In
the
falling
of
her people into the
hand
of
an
adversary,
And
she hath
no helper;
Seen
her have
adversaries
, They
have
laughed
at her cessation
.
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
.
A
sin
hath
Jerusalem sinned ,
Therefore impure
she hath
become ,
All who honoured
her have
esteemed
her lightly
, For they have seen her nakedness ,
Yea,
she herself hath
sighed
and turneth
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 uncleanness `is'
in
her skirts ,
She hath
not remembered
her latter
end ,
And
she
cometh
down
wonderfully,
There is
no comforter
for
her. See
, O Jehovah
, mine
affliction, For exerted
himself
hath
an
enemy .
The
adversary has
seized
all her treasures.
For she has
seen the
nations enter
her sanctuary —
those
You
had
forbidden
to
enter
Your
assembly.
His
hand
spread
out
hath
an
adversary On
all her desirable
things,
For she hath
seen --
Nations have
entered
her sanctuary ,
Concerning
which
Thou
didst
command,
`They
do
not
come
into
the
assembly to
thee
. '
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 are
sighing
--
seeking
bread ,
They have given
their desirable
things
For food to refresh
the
body;
See
, O Jehovah
, and behold
attentively
, For I have been
lightly
esteemed
.
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 ye
passing
by the
way
? Look attentively,
and see ,
If
there is
any pain
like my
pain
, That
He
is
rolling
to
me ?
Whom
Jehovah
hath
afflicted
In
the day of the
fierceness
of
His 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
above
He hath
sent fire into
my
bone
, And it subdueth
it,
He hath
spread a net for my feet ,
He
hath
turned me backward,
He hath
made me desolate --
all the day sick
.
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
.
Bound hath
been
the
yoke of
my
transgressions
by His hand ,
They are wrapped
together,
They
have
gone
up
on
my neck, He
hath
caused
my
power
to
stumble,
The Lord hath
given
me into hands ,
I am
not
able
to
rise
.
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.
Trodden
down
all my
mighty ones
hath
the
Lord
in my midst ,
He proclaimed
against me an
appointed
time,
To destroy
my young men
, A
wine-press
hath
the Lord trodden,
To
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 I am
weeping,
My eye,
my
eye,
is
running
down
with waters,
For ,
far
from
me hath
been
a
comforter
, Refreshing
my soul ,
My sons
have
been
desolate,
For
mighty
hath
been
an
enemy.
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.
Spread
forth
hath
Zion her hands, There is no comforter
for
her ,
Jehovah
hath
charged
concerning
Jacob ,
His neighbours
`are'
his adversaries,
Jerusalem hath
become impure
among them.
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.
Righteous is
Jehovah
, For His
mouth
I have provoked
. Hear
, I
pray
you ,
all
ye
peoples,
and
see
my pain,
My virgins
and
my
young men have 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, they --
they
have deceived
me ,
My priests and my
elders in the city have
expired;
When
they have
sought
food for
themselves ,
Then
they
give
back
their
soul
.
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, O Jehovah
, for
distress
`
is '
to
me, My
bowels
have
been
troubled,
Turned
hath
been
my
heart
in
my
midst,
For I have greatly
provoked
, From
without
bereaved
hath
the sword, In
the
house
`it
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
have
sighed
, There is no comforter
for
me ,
All my enemies have heard of my calamity,
They have rejoiced
that
Thou
hast
done
`
it ',
Thou
hast
brought
in
the day Thou
hast
called
, And
they are
like to
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.
Come
in
doth
all their evil
before Thee
, And one
is
doing
to
them as Thou
hast
done
to
me ,
For
all my transgressions ,
For many `are'
my
sighs
, and my heart `
is '
sick!
