Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
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 doth
the city sit
solitary,
that
was
full
of
people! how
is
she become
as a widow !
she
that
was
great
among the
nations ,
and
princess
among the
provinces, how
is
she become tributary!
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 weepeth sore in the night, and her tears
are
on her cheeks :
among
all her lovers she
hath
none
to
comfort
her:
all her friends have
dealt treacherously with
her, they are
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 is
gone
into
captivity
because of affliction, and because of great
servitude:
she dwelleth
among the
heathen
, she findeth
no
rest :
all her persecutors
overtook
her between the straits.
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 ways of Zion do
mourn
, because
none
come
to
the solemn
feasts:
all her gates are desolate :
her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted ,
and she is
in
bitterness.
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 adversaries are
the
chief, her enemies prosper;
for the
LORD
hath afflicted her for the multitude
of her transgressions :
her children
are
gone into
captivity
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.
And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty
is
departed:
her princes are
become
like
harts that
find
no
pasture, and they are
gone
without
strength
before the
pursuer.
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 remembered
in the days of her affliction and of
her miseries
all her pleasant
things that she
had
in
the days of old, when
her people fell
into the hand of the
enemy
, and none
did
help
her :
the
adversaries saw
her
, and
did
mock
at her sabbaths
.
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 hath
grievously
sinned ;
therefore she is
removed:
all that
honoured her despise
her, because
they have seen her nakedness :
yea, she sigheth,
and turneth backward.
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 filthiness
is in her skirts ;
she remembereth
not her last
end ;
therefore
she came
down wonderfully :
she
had
no comforter. O LORD
, behold
my
affliction :
for the
enemy hath
magnified
himself
.
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
hath
spread out his
hand
upon
all her pleasant
things :
for she hath seen that
the
heathen
entered into
her sanctuary, whom
thou didst command that
they should
not enter
into thy
congregation
.
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 sigh
, they seek
bread;
they
have given their pleasant
things for meat
to relieve
the soul:
see, O LORD
, and consider;
for I am
become
vile
.
`
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 it nothing to you, all ye that
pass
by? behold
, and see if there be
any sorrow
like unto
my sorrow
, which
is done
unto
me ,
wherewith
the
LORD
hath afflicted me
in 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
.
From above hath he
sent fire into my bones
, and it prevaileth
against
them:
he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back:
he hath made me desolate and
faint
all the day.
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 yoke of my transgressions is
bound
by his hand :
they are wreathed
, and
come
up upon
my neck :
he hath made
my strength
to fall
, the LORD hath delivered
me into their
hands, from
whom
I am not able to rise up
.
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
hath
trodden under
foot
all my mighty men
in the
midst of
me:
he hath
called
an
assembly
against me to crush
my young men :
the LORD hath
trodden the virgin ,
the
daughter of Judah ,
as
in
a
winepress
.
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;
mine
eye, mine
eye runneth
down with water
, because
the
comforter that
should
relieve
my soul is
far
from
me:
my children
are
desolate, because
the
enemy 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 spreadeth
forth
her hands, and
there is none
to
comfort
her :
the
LORD
hath commanded
concerning Jacob, that
his adversaries should
be
round
about
him:
Jerusalem is
as
a
menstruous
woman
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
commandment:
hear, I pray you, all people
, and behold
my sorrow:
my virgins and my young men are
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 for my lovers, but
they deceived me :
my priests and mine
elders gave
up
the
ghost
in the city, while
they sought
their meat
to
relieve
their
souls
.
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.
Behold
, O LORD;
for I
am
in
distress :
my bowels are
troubled ;
mine
heart is
turned
within
me;
for I have grievously
rebelled:
abroad
the sword bereaveth
, at
home
there
is as 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.
They have heard that I sigh:
there is none
to
comfort
me :
all mine
enemies have heard of my trouble;
they are
glad
that thou hast done it :
thou wilt
bring
the day that
thou hast called, and they shall
be
like unto
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 thee ;
and do
unto
them ,
as thou hast done unto
me for all my transgressions :
for my sighs are
many
, and my heart is faint.
