King James Version
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 .
How hath
the LORD covered
the daughter of Zion with
a
cloud
in
his
anger
, and
cast down
from heaven unto
the
earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not
his footstool in the day of his anger !
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.
The LORD hath swallowed
up
all
the habitations
of Jacob, and
hath
not
pitied:
he hath thrown
down in his wrath the strong
holds
of the daughter of Judah ;
he hath brought
them
down
to the ground:
he hath
polluted the kingdom and the
princes thereof
.
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 hath cut off in his
fierce
anger all
the
horn of Israel :
he hath drawn
back
his right hand from before
the enemy, and he burned
against Jacob like
a flaming fire, which
devoureth
round about.
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.
He hath bent
his bow like
an enemy :
he
stood with
his right hand as an adversary, and slew
all that
were
pleasant
to
the eye in the tabernacle
of the daughter of Zion :
he poured out his fury like
fire
.
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
.
The LORD was
as an enemy :
he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces :
he hath destroyed his strong
holds
, and hath
increased
in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation
.
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.
And he hath
violently
taken
away
his tabernacle, as
if
it
were
of
a
garden:
he hath destroyed his places
of
the
assembly:
the
LORD
hath caused
the
solemn
feasts
and
sabbaths
to
be
forgotten in Zion, and hath
despised
in the indignation of his anger the
king and the
priest.
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 hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred
his sanctuary, he hath given
up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces ;
they have made a
noise
in the house of the
LORD,
as
in
the
day of a
solemn
feast
.
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
.
The
LORD
hath purposed
to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion :
he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn
his hand from destroying :
therefore
he made
the
rampart
and the
wall to lament;
they languished
together
.
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
.
Her
gates
are
sunk into the ground;
he hath destroyed and broken her bars :
her king and her princes are among the Gentiles:
the
law
is no more;
her prophets also
find
no
vision from the
LORD
.
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.
The elders of the daughter of Zion sit
upon
the
ground
, and
keep
silence:
they have cast
up dust
upon
their heads;
they have girded themselves
with
sackcloth :
the virgins of Jerusalem hang
down
their
heads
to
the
ground
.
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 ,
Mine
eyes do
fail
with
tears
, my bowels are
troubled
, my
liver
is
poured upon
the earth, for the destruction
of the daughter of my people; because
the
children
and the
sucklings
swoon
in the streets
of the city .
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.
They
say
to their mothers, Where is
corn and wine? when
they
swooned
as the
wounded
in the streets
of the city, when
their soul was
poured
out into their mothers '
bosom
.
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?
What thing
shall
I take
to witness
for
thee ?
what thing
shall
I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall
I equal to thee, that
I may
comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is
great
like
the
sea:
who can
heal
thee?
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
.
Thy prophets have seen vain
and
foolish
things
for thee :
and they
have not discovered
thine iniquity, to turn away
thy captivity ;
but
have
seen
for thee false burdens and causes of banishment
.
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
that
pass
by
clap
their
hands at thee ;
they hiss
and wag
their
head at the daughter of Jerusalem ,
saying,
Is this the city that
men
call
The perfection of beauty, The
joy of
the whole
earth
?
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. '
All thine enemies have opened
their
mouth
against
thee:
they hiss
and
gnash the teeth: they
say,
We have swallowed her up :
certainly
this is the day that we looked for ;
we have found ,
we have seen it
.
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
LORD
hath done that which he had
devised ;
he hath fulfilled his word
that he had
commanded in
the days of old :
he hath thrown
down ,
and hath not pitied :
and he
hath
caused
thine
enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath
set
up the horn of thine adversaries.
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
.
Their heart cried
unto the LORD ,
O wall of the daughter of Zion, let
tears
run
down like
a river
day
and night:
give thyself no
rest;
let not the apple
of thine eye cease
.
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
.
Arise, cry out
in the night :
in
the beginning of the watches pour out thine
heart like
water
before
the face of the LORD :
lift up thy hands toward
him
for the life
of thy
young
children
, that
faint
for
hunger in
the top
of every
street
.
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
?
Behold
, O LORD
, and consider
to whom thou hast done
this.
Shall
the
women eat their fruit, and
children
of a span
long
? shall
the
priest
and
the
prophet
be
slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
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.
The young and the
old lie
on
the
ground
in
the
streets:
my virgins and my young men are
fallen by the sword ;
thou hast slain them
in the
day of thine anger ;
thou hast killed,
and
not pitied.
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 !
Thou hast
called
as in
a solemn
day my terrors
round about, so
that
in the day of the LORD's
anger none
escaped nor
remained:
those
that
I have
swaddled
and brought
up
hath mine
enemy
consumed .
