Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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 .
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!
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
. '
The
adversary has
seized
all her treasures.
For she has
seen the
nations enter
her sanctuary —
those
You
had
forbidden
to enter
Your
assembly
.
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
.
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
.
`
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 .
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 ?
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
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.
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
.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
