Young's Literal Translation
How the Lord has
covered
the Daughter of Zion with
the
cloud
of
His
anger!
He has
cast the
glory
of
Israel
from heaven to earth .
He
has
abandoned
His footstool in the day of His anger.
How doth
the Lord cloud
in
His
anger
the daughter of Zion ,
He hath
cast from heaven `
to '
earth the
beauty
of
Israel,
And
hath
not
remembered
His footstool in the day of His anger.
Without
pity
the
Lord
has
swallowed up all
the dwellings
of Jacob .
In His wrath He
has
demolished
the fortified
cities
of the Daughter of Judah .
He brought
to the ground
and
defiled
her
kingdom and its princes.
Swallowed up hath
the Lord,
He
hath
not
pitied
any
of the
pleasant
places
of
Jacob ,
He
hath
broken
down
in His wrath The fortresses
of the daughter of Judah ,
He hath
caused
to come
to
the earth,
He
polluted
the
kingdom and its princes.
In
fierce
anger
He has
cut off every horn of Israel and
withdrawn
His right hand at
the approach
of the enemy .
He has
burned
in
Jacob like
a flaming fire that
consumes
everything
around
it.
He hath
cut off in
the
heat
of
anger
every horn of Israel ,
He
hath
turned
backward
His right hand From
the face
of the enemy ,
And
He burneth
against
Jacob as
a flaming fire ,
It hath
devoured
round
about
.
He has
bent
His bow like
an enemy ;
His right hand is
positioned.
Like
a
foe
He has
killed
all who
were
pleasing
to
the eye ;
He
has
poured
out
His
wrath
like
fire
on
the tent of the Daughter of Zion.
He hath
trodden
His bow as
an enemy ,
Stood
hath
His right hand as
an
adversary,
And
He slayeth
all the desirable
ones
of
the
eye ,
In
the tent of the daughter of Zion ,
He
hath
poured
out
as
fire
His
fury
.
The Lord is
like
an enemy ;
He has
swallowed up Israel .
He has
swallowed up all her palaces and
destroyed
her
strongholds.
He has
multiplied
mourning
and lamentation
for
the Daughter of Judah.
The Lord hath
been
as
an enemy ,
He hath
swallowed up Israel ,
He hath
swallowed up all her palaces ,
He hath
destroyed
His
fortresses,
And He
multiplieth
in
the daughter of Judah Mourning
and
moaning
.
He has
laid
waste
His
tabernacle
like
a garden booth;
He has
destroyed His place of
meeting.
The
LORD
has
made
Zion forget
her
appointed feasts
and Sabbaths.
In His fierce
anger He
has
despised
both
king and priest.
And
He shaketh
as
a garden His
tabernacle,
He hath
destroyed His appointed
place ,
Jehovah
hath
forgotten
in
Zion the
appointed time
and sabbath,
And
despiseth,
in the
indignation
of
His anger ,
king and priest.
The Lord has
rejected
His altar ;
He has
abandoned
His sanctuary ;
He has
delivered
the
walls
of
her
palaces
into the hand of the enemy .
They have raised
a
shout
in the house of the
LORD
as
on
the
day of an
appointed
feast
.
The Lord hath
cast
off
His altar ,
He hath
rejected
His sanctuary ,
He hath
shut
up
into the hand of the enemy The
walls
of
her
palaces,
A
noise
they have made
in the house of Jehovah
Like
a
day of appointment
.
The
LORD
determined
to destroy the wall of the Daughter of Zion .
He stretched out a measuring
line and
did
not withdraw
His hand from destroying .
He made
the
ramparts
and walls
lament;
together they waste
away
.
Devised
hath
Jehovah
to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion ,
He hath
stretched out a line ,
He
hath
not turned
His hand from destroying ,
And
He causeth
bulwark
and wall
to
mourn,
Together --
they have
been
weak
.
Her
gates
have
sunk into the ground;
He has
destroyed and shattered
their
bars .
Her king and her princes are exiled
among the nations, the
law
is no more
, and
even
her prophets find
no
vision from the
LORD
.
Sunk into the earth
have
her
gates,
He hath
destroyed and broken
her
bars ,
Her king and her princes `
are '
among the nations, There
is no law
, also
her prophets Have
not
found
vision from Jehovah
.
The elders of the Daughter of Zion sit
on
the
ground
in
silence.
They have thrown
dust on their heads
and
put
on sackcloth .
The young
women
of
Jerusalem
have
bowed
their heads
to
the ground
.
Sit
on
the earth
--
keep
silent
do
the
elders of the daughter of Zion ,
They have caused
dust to
go
up
on their head,
They
have
girded
on sackcloth ,
Put
down
to
the earth
their head
have
the virgins
of
Jerusalem
.
My eyes fail
from
weeping;
I
am
churning
within.
My heart
is
poured out in
grief
over
the destruction
of the daughter of my people ,
because
children
and infants
faint
in the streets
of the city .
Consumed
by
tears
have
been
my eyes ,
Troubled
have
been
my bowels,
Poured out to
the earth
hath
been
my
liver,
For
the
breach
of the daughter of my people ;
In
infant
and suckling
being
feeble,
In the broad
places
of the city ,
They
cry
out
to their mothers :
“
Where is
the
grain
and wine? ”
as they
faint
like
the
wounded
in the streets
of the city, as
their
lives
fade
away
in the arms
of their mothers.
To their mothers they
say,
`
Where `are'
corn
and wine? '
In
their
becoming
feeble
as a
pierced
one
In the broad
places
of the city, In their
soul
pouring
itself
out
into
the bosom
of their mothers.
What can
I say
for
you?
To what can
I compare
you
, O Daughter of Jerusalem? To
what can
I liken
you
, that
I may
console
you
, O Virgin Daughter of Zion? For your
wound
is
as
deep
as the
sea .
Who can
ever
heal
you
?
What do
I testify
`
to '
thee,
what do
I liken
to
thee
, O daughter of Jerusalem? What do
I equal
to
thee
, and
I comfort
thee
, O virgin daughter of Zion? For great
as a
sea `is'
thy
breach,
Who doth
give
healing
to
thee
?
The
visions
of
your
prophets were
empty
and deceptive;
they
did
not expose
your
guilt
to ward
off
your
captivity .
The
burdens
they envisioned
for you
were
empty
and misleading
.
Thy
prophets have
seen
for
thee
a
false
and insipid
thing,
And
have
not revealed
concerning
thine
iniquity,
To turn
back
thy
captivity ,
And
they see
for thee
false
burdens
and causes
of
expulsion
.
All
who
pass
by
clap
their
hands at you
in
scorn.
They hiss
and shake their
heads
at the Daughter of Jerusalem: “
Is this the city that
was
called
the perfection of beauty, the
joy of
all the earth
? ”
Clapped
hands at thee
have
all
passing
by
the
way,
They have
hissed
--
and they
shake the
head
At the daughter of Jerusalem: `
Is this the city of
which
they
said:
The perfection of beauty, a
joy to
all the land
? '
All your
enemies open
their
mouths
against
you.
They hiss
and
gnash their
teeth, saying,
“
We have swallowed her up .
This is the day for which
we have waited.
We have lived
to
see
it!”
Opened
against
thee
their
mouth
have
all thine
enemies ,
They have
hissed,
yea,
they
gnash the
teeth, They
have
said:
`
We have swallowed `
her '
up ,
Surely
this `
is '
the day that
we
looked
for ,
We have found
--
we have seen.'
The
LORD
has
done what
He planned;
He has
accomplished
His decree,
which
He ordained
in
days of old ;
He
has
overthrown
you
without
pity.
He has
let
the
enemy gloat
over you
and
exalted
the horn of your
foes
.
Jehovah
hath
done that
which
He devised,
He hath
fulfilled
His saying
That
He commanded
from
the
days of old ,
He hath
broken
down
and
hath
not
pitied,
And
causeth
an
enemy to
rejoice
over thee,
He
lifted
up
the horn of thine
adversaries
.
The
hearts
of
the
people
cry
out
to
the Lord .
O wall of the Daughter of Zion, let
your
tears
run
down like
a river
day
and night.
Give
yourself
no
relief
, and
your
eyes
no
rest.
Cried
hath
their
heart
unto
the Lord ;
O wall of the daughter of Zion, Cause
to
go
down as
a stream
tears
daily
and nightly
, Give
not
rest to
thyself,
Let
not
the
daughter
of
thine
eye
stand
still
.
Arise, cry out
in the night from
the first
watch
of the night
. Pour out your
heart
like
water in
the presence
of the Lord .
Lift up your
hands
to
Him for the lives
of your
children
who are fainting
from
hunger on
the corner
of every
street
.
Arise, cry aloud
in the night ,
At
the beginning
of the watches
. Pour out as
water thy
heart,
Over
against
the face
of the Lord ,
Lift up unto
Him thy
hands,
for the soul
of thine
infants,
Who are feeble
with
hunger at
the head
of all
out-places
.
Look
, O LORD
, and consider:
Whom have
You
ever
treated
like
this?
Should
women eat their offspring
, the
infants they
have
nurtured
? Should
priests
and
prophets
be
killed
in the sanctuary of the Lord?
See
, O Jehovah
, and look
attentively,
To
whom Thou
hast
acted
thus,
Do
women eat their fruit
, infants of
a
handbreadth
? Slain
in the sanctuary of the Lord are
priest
and
prophet
?
Both
young and old lie
together
in
the
dust
of
the
streets.
My young men and
maidens
have fallen by the sword .
You
have
slain them
in the
day of Your
anger ;
You
have
slaughtered them
without
compassion
.
Lain
on
the
earth
`in'
out-places
have
young and old ,
My virgins
and
my
young men have fallen by the sword ,
Thou
hast
slain in a
day of Thine
anger ,
Thou
hast
slaughtered --
Thou
hast
not
pitied
.
You
summoned
my
attackers
on
every
side,
as for
the
day of an
appointed
feast.
In the day of the LORD’s
anger no
one
escaped or
survived;
my
enemy
has
destroyed
those
I nurtured
and reared.
Thou
dost
call
as `at'
a
day of appointment,
My
fears
from
round
about,
And
there
hath
not
been
in the day of the anger of
Jehovah,
An
escaped and
remaining
one,
They
whom
I stretched
out
and nourished,
My
enemy
hath
consumed!
