Look, and see + if there be any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought + on me, With which Yahweh has afflicted [me] in the day + of his fierce anger. +001:013 From on high has he sent fire into my bones, and it prevails + against them; He has spread a net for my feet, he has turned + me back: He has made me desolate and faint all the day. +001:014 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand; + They are knit together, they are come up on my neck; + he has made my strength to fail: The Lord has delivered me + into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand. +001:015 The Lord has set at nothing all my mighty men in the midst of me; + He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men: + The Lord has trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah. +001:016 For these things I weep; my eye, my eye runs down with water; + Because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me: + My children are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed. +001:017 Zion spreads forth her hands; there is none to comfort her; + Yahweh has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are round + about him should be his adversaries: Jerusalem is among them + as an unclean thing. +001:018 Yahweh is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: + Please hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow: + My virgins and my young men are gone into captivity. +001:019 I called for my lovers, [but] they deceived me: + My priests and my elders gave up the spirit in the city, + While they sought them food to refresh their souls. +001:020 See, Yahweh; for I am in distress; my heart is troubled; + My heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: + Abroad the sword bereaves, at home there is as death. +001:021 They have heard that I sigh; there is none to comfort me; + All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you + have done it: You will bring the day that you have proclaimed, + and they shall be like me. +001:022 Let all their wickedness come before you; Do to them, + as you have done to me for all my transgressions: + For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint. +002:001 How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud + in his anger! He has cast down from heaven to the earth + the beauty of Israel, And hasn't remembered his footstool + in the day of his anger. +002:002 The Lord has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has + not pitied: He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds + of the daughter of Judah; He has brought them down to the ground; + he has profaned the kingdom and the princes of it. +002:003 He has cut off in fierce anger all the horn of Israel; He has + drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: He has burned + up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours round about. +002:004 He has bent his bow like an enemy, he has stood with his right hand + as an adversary, Has killed all that were pleasant to the eye: + In the tent of the daughter of Zion he has poured out his + wrath like fire. +002:005 The Lord is become as an enemy, he has swallowed up Israel; He has + swallowed up all her palaces, he has destroyed his strongholds; + He has multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation. +002:006 He has violently taken away his tent, as if it were of a garden; + he has destroyed his place of assembly: Yahweh has caused solemn + assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, Has despised + in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest. +002:007 The Lord has cast off his altar, he has abhorred his sanctuary; + He has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces: + They have made a noise in the house of Yahweh, as in the day + of a solemn assembly. +002:008 Yahweh has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter + of Zion; He has stretched out the line, he has not withdrawn his + hand from destroying; He has made the rampart and wall to lament; + they languish together. +002:009 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken + her bars: Her king and her princes are among the nations where + the law is not; Yes, her prophets find no vision from Yahweh. +002:010 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground, + they keep silence; They have cast up dust on their heads; + they have girded themselves with sackcloth: The virgins + of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground. +002:011 My eyes do fail with tears, my heart is troubled; My liver is + poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter + of my people, Because the young children and the infants + swoon in the streets of the city. +002:012 They tell their mothers, Where is grain and wine? + When they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, + When their soul is poured out into their mothers' bosom. +002:013 What shall I testify to you? what shall I liken to you, + daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I + may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your breach + is great like the sea: who can heal you? +002:014 Your prophets have seen for you false and foolish visions; + They have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captivity, + But have seen for you false oracles and causes of banishment. +002:015 All that pass by clap their hands at you; They hiss and wag + their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, [saying], Is this + the city that men called The perfection of beauty, The joy + of the whole earth? +002:016 All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you; + 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. +002:017 Yahweh has done that which he purposed; he has fulfilled his + word that he commanded in the days of old; He has thrown down, + and has not pitied: He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you; + he has exalted the horn of your adversaries. +002:018 Their heart cried to the Lord: wall of the daughter of Zion, + let tears run down like a river day and night; Give yourself + no respite; don't let the apple of your eye cease. +002:019 Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; + Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up + your hands toward him for the life of your young children, + that faint for hunger at the head of every street. +002:020 Look, Yahweh, and see to whom you have done thus! Shall the women + eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? + Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary + of the Lord? +002:021 The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; + My virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: + You have killed them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered, + [and] not pitied. +002:022 You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors + on every side; There was none that escaped or remained + in the day of Yahweh's anger: Those that I have dandled + and brought up has my enemy consumed. +003:001 I am the man that has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. +003:002 He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light. +003:003 Surely against me he turns his hand again and again all the day. +003:004 My flesh and my skin has he made old; he has broken my bones. +003:005 He has built against me, and compassed me with gall and travail. +003:006 He has made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have + been long dead. +003:007 He has walled me about, that I can't go forth; he has made + my chain heavy. +003:008 Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer. +003:009 He has walled up my ways with hewn stone; he has made + my paths crooked. +003:010 He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places. +003:011 He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; + he has made me desolate. +003:012 He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. +003:013 He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys. +003:014 I am become a derision to all my people, and their song + all the day. +003:015 He has filled me with bitterness, he has sated me with wormwood. +003:016 He has also broken my teeth with gravel stones; he has covered + me with ashes. +003:017 You have removed my soul far off from peace; I forgot prosperity. +003:018 I said, My strength is perished, and my expectation from Yahweh. +003:019 Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. +003:020 My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me. +003:021 This I recall to my mind; therefore have I hope. +003:022 [It is of] Yahweh's loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, + because his compassion doesn't fail. +003:023 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. +003:024 Yahweh is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I hope in him. +003:025 Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul + that seeks him. +003:026 It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the + salvation of Yahweh. +003:027 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. +003:028 Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid + it on him. +003:029 Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope. +003:030 Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him; let him be filled + full with reproach. +003:031 For the Lord will not cast off forever. +003:032 For though he cause grief, yet he will have compassion according + to the multitude of his loving kindnesses. +003:033 For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men. +003:034 To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth, +003:035 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High, +003:036 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn't approve. +003:037 Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord + doesn't command it? +003:038 Doesn't evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High? +003:039 Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment + of his sins? +003:040 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Yahweh. +003:041 Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens. +003:042 We have transgressed and have rebelled; you have not pardoned. +003:043 You have covered with anger and pursued us; you have killed, + you have not pitied. +003:044 You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer + can pass through. +003:045 You have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the midst + of the peoples. +003:046 All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us. +003:047 Fear and the pit are come on us, devastation and destruction. +003:048 My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction + of the daughter of my people. +003:049 My eye pours down, and doesn't cease, without any intermission, +003:050 Until Yahweh look down, and see from heaven. +003:051 My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city. +003:052 They have chased me sore like a bird, those who are my + enemies without cause. +003:053 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast + a stone on me. +003:054 Waters flowed over my head; I said, I am cut off. +003:055 I called on your name, Yahweh, out of the lowest dungeon. +003:056 You heard my voice; don't hide your ear at my breathing, + at my cry. +003:057 You drew near in the day that I called on you; you said, + Don't be afraid. +003:058 Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul; you have + redeemed my life. +003:059 Yahweh, you have seen my wrong; judge you my cause. +003:060 You have seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me. +003:061 You have heard their reproach, Yahweh, and all their + devices against me, +003:062 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device + against me all the day. +003:063 See you their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song. +003:064 You will render to them a recompense, Yahweh, according to + the work of their hands. +003:065 You will give them hardness of heart, your curse to them. +003:066 You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under + the heavens of Yahweh. +004:001 How is the gold become dim! [how] is the most pure gold changed! + The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head + of every street. +004:002 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, How are + they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands + of the potter! +004:003 Even the jackals draw out the breast, they give suck to their + young ones: The daughter of my people is become cruel, + like the ostriches in the wilderness. +004:004 The tongue of the sucking child cleaves to the roof of his mouth + for thirst: The young children ask bread, and no man breaks + it to them. +004:005 Those who did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: + Those who were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills. +004:006 For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater + than the sin of Sodom, That was overthrown as in a moment, + and no hands were laid on her. +004:007 Her nobles were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk; + They were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing + was as of sapphire. +004:008 Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known + in the streets: Their skin cleaves to their bones; + it is withered, it is become like a stick. +004:009 Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who + are killed with hunger; For these pine away, stricken through, + for want of the fruits of the field. +004:010 The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children; + They were their food in the destruction of the daughter + of my people. +004:011 Yahweh has accomplished his wrath, he has poured out his + fierce anger; He has kindled a fire in Zion, which has devoured + the foundations of it. +004:012 The kings of the earth didn't believe, neither all the inhabitants + of the world, That the adversary and the enemy would enter + into the gates of Jerusalem. +004:013 [It is] because of the sins of her prophets, [and] the iniquities + of her priests, That have shed the blood of the just in + the midst of her. +004:014 They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted + with blood, So that men can't touch their garments. +004:015 Depart you, they cried to them, Unclean! depart, depart, don't touch! + When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, + They shall no more sojourn [here]. +004:016 The anger of Yahweh has scattered them; he will no more regard them: + They didn't respect the persons of the priests, they didn't + favor the elders. +004:017 Our eyes do yet fail [in looking] for our vain help: + In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save. +004:018 They hunt our steps, so that we can't go in our streets: + Our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come. +004:019 Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky: + They chased us on the mountains, they laid wait for us + in the wilderness. +004:020 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Yahweh, was taken + in their pits; Of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall + live among the nations. +004:021 Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom, that dwell in the land + of Uz: The cup shall pass through to you also; you shall + be drunken, and shall make yourself naked. +004:022 The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, daughter of Zion; + he will no more carry you away into captivity: He will visit + your iniquity, daughter of Edom; he will uncover your sins. +005:001 Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us: Look, and see our reproach. +005:002 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, Our houses to aliens. +005:003 We are orphans and fatherless; Our mothers are as widows. +005:004 We have drunken our water for money; Our wood is sold to us. +005:005 Our pursuers are on our necks: We are weary, and have no rest. +005:006 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, To the Assyrians, + to be satisfied with bread. +005:007 Our fathers sinned, and are no more; We have borne their iniquities. +005:008 Servants rule over us: There is none to deliver us out + of their hand. +005:009 We get our bread at the peril of our lives, Because of the sword + of the wilderness. +005:010 Our skin is black like an oven, Because of the burning + heat of famine. +005:011 They ravished the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah. +005:012 Princes were hanged up by their hand: The faces of elders + were not honored. +005:013 The young men bare the mill; The children stumbled under the wood. +005:014 The elders have ceased from the gate, The young men + from their music. +005:015 The joy of our heart is ceased; Our dance is turned into mourning. +005:016 The crown is fallen from our head: Woe to us! for we have sinned. +005:017 For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim; +005:018 For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate: The foxes + walk on it. +005:019 You, Yahweh, abide forever; Your throne is from generation + to generation. +005:020 Why do you forget us forever, [And] forsake us so long time? +005:021 Turn you us to you, Yahweh, and we shall be turned; + Renew our days as of old. +005:022 But you have utterly rejected us; You are very angry against us. + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE WORLD ENGLISH BIBLE (WEB): LAMENTATIONS *** + +This file should be named 8252.txt or 8252.zip + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
