Lamentations 2

1How hath the Lord^H136 covered^H5743 the daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726 with a cloud^H5743 in his anger^H639! He hath cast down^H7993 from heaven^H8064 unto the earth^H776 the beauty^H8597 of Israel^H3478, And hath not remembered^H2142 his footstool^H1916 in the day^H3117 of his anger^H639. 2The Lord^H136 hath swallowed up^H1104 all the habitations^H4999 of Jacob^H3290, and hath not pitied^H2550: He hath thrown down^H2040 in his wrath^H5678 the strongholds^H4013 of the daughter^H1323 of Judah^H3063; He hath brought them down^H5060 to the ground^H776; he hath profaned^H2490 the kingdom^H4467 and the princes^H8269 thereof. 3He hath cut off^H1438 in fierce^H2750 anger^H639 all the horn^H7161 of Israel^H3478; He hath drawn^H7725 back^H268 his right hand^H3225 from before^H6440 the enemy^H341: And he hath burned^H1197 up Jacob^H3290 like a flaming^H3852 fire^H784, which devoureth^H398 round about^H5439. 4He hath bent^H1869 his bow^H7198 like an enemy^H341, he hath stood^H5324 with his right hand^H3225 as an adversary^H6862, And hath slain^H2026 all that were pleasant^H4261 to the eye^H5869: In the tent^H168 of the daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726 he hath poured out^H8210 his wrath^H2534 like fire^H784. 5The Lord^H136 is become as an enemy^H341, he hath swallowed up^H1104 Israel^H3478; He hath swallowed up^H1104 all her palaces^H759, he hath destroyed^H7843 his strongholds^H4013; And he hath multiplied^H7235 in the daughter^H1323 of Judah^H3063 mourning^H8386 and lamentation^H592. 6And he hath violently taken away^H2554 his tabernacle^H7900, as if it were of a garden^H1588; he hath destroyed^H7843 his place of assembly^H4150: Jehovah^H3068 hath caused solemn assembly^H4150 and sabbath^H7676 to be forgotten^H7911 in Zion^H6726, And hath despised^H5006 in the indignation^H2195 of his anger^H639 the king^H4428 and the priest^H3548. 7The Lord^H136 hath cast off^H2186 his altar^H4196, he hath abhorred^H5010 his sanctuary^H4720; He hath given up^H5462 into the hand^H3027 of the enemy^H341 the walls^H2346 of her palaces^H759: They have made^H5414 a noise^H6963 in the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068, as in the day^H3117 of a solemn assembly^H4150. 8Jehovah^H3068 hath purposed^H2803 to destroy^H7843 the wall^H2346 of the daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726; He hath stretched out^H5186 the line^H6957, he hath not withdrawn^H7725 his hand^H3027 from destroying^H1104; And he hath made the rampart^H2426 and wall^H2346 to lament^H56; they languish^H535 together^H3162. 9Her gates^H8179 are sunk^H2883 into the ground^H776; he hath destroyed^H6 and broken^H7665 her bars^H1280: Her king^H4428 and her princes^H8269 are among the nations^H1471 where the law^H8451 is not; Yea, her prophets^H5030 find^H4672 no vision^H2377 from Jehovah^H3068. 10The elders^H2205 of the daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726 sit^H3427 upon the ground^H776, they keep silence^H1826; They have cast up^H5927 dust^H6083 upon their heads^H7218; They have girded^H2296 themselves with sackcloth^H8242: The virgins^H1330 of Jerusalem^H3389 hang down^H3381 their heads^H7218 to the ground^H776. 11Mine eyes^H5869 do fail^H3615 with tears^H1832, my heart^H4578 is troubled^H2560; My liver^H3516 is poured^H8210 upon the earth^H776, because of the destruction^H7667 of the daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971, Because the young children^H5768 and the sucklings^H3243 swoon^H5848 in the streets^H7339 of the city^H7151. 12They say^H559 to their mothers^H517, Where is grain^H1715 and wine^H3196? When they swoon^H5848 as the wounded^H2491 in the streets^H7339 of the city^H5892, When their soul^H5315 is poured out^H8210 into their mothers^H517' bosom^H2436. 13What shall I testify^H5749 unto thee? what^H4100 shall I liken^H1819 to thee, O daughter^H1323 of Jerusalem^H3389? What shall I compare^H7737 to thee, that I may comfort^H5162 thee, O virgin^H1330 daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726? For thy breach^H7667 is great^H1419 like the sea^H3220: who can heal^H7495 thee? 14Thy prophets^H5030 have seen^H2372 for thee false^H7723 and foolish visions^H8602; And they have not uncovered^H1540 thine iniquity^H5771, to bring back^H7725 thy captivity^H7622, But have seen^H2372 for thee false^H7723 oracles^H4864 and causes of banishment^H4065. 15All that pass^H5674 by clap^H5606 their hands^H3709 at thee^H1870; They hiss^H8319 and wag^H5128 their head^H7218 at the daughter^H1323 of Jerusalem^H3389, saying, Is this the city^H5892 that men called^H559 The perfection^H3632 of beauty^H3308, The joy^H4885 of the whole earth^H776? 16All thine enemies^H341 have opened^H6475 their mouth^H6310 wide against thee; They hiss^H8319 and gnash^H2786 the teeth^H8127; they say^H559, We have swallowed her up^H1104; Certainly^H389 this is the day^H3117 that we looked for^H6960; we have found^H4672, we have seen^H7200 it. 17Jehovah^H3068 hath done^H6213 that which he purposed^H2161; He hath fulfilled^H1214 his word^H565 that he commanded^H6680 in the days^H3117 of old^H6924; He hath thrown down^H2040, and hath not pitied^H2550: And he hath caused the enemy^H341 to rejoice^H8055 over thee; He hath exalted^H7311 the horn^H7161 of thine adversaries^H6862. 18Their heart^H3820 cried^H6817 unto the Lord^H136: O wall^H2346 of the daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726, let tears^H1832 run down^H3381 like a river^H5158 day^H3119 and night^H3915; Give^H5414 thyself no respite^H6314; let not the apple^H1323 of thine eye^H5869 cease^H1826. 19Arise^H6965, cry out^H7442 in the night^H3915, at the beginning^H7218 of the watches^H821; Pour out^H8210 thy heart^H3820 like water^H4325 before^H5227 the face^H6440 of the Lord^H136: Lift up^H5375 thy hands^H3709 toward him for the life^H5315 of thy young children^H5768, that faint^H5848 for hunger^H7458 at the head^H7218 of every street^H2351. 20See^H7200, O Jehovah^H3068, and behold^H7200 to whom thou hast done^H5953 thus^H3541! Shall the women^H802 eat^H398 their fruit^H6529, the children^H5768 that are dandled^H2949 in the hands? Shall the priest^H3548 and the prophet^H5030 be slain^H2026 in the sanctuary^H4720 of the Lord^H136? 21The youth^H5288 and the old^H2205 man lie^H7901 on the ground^H776 in the streets^H2351; My virgins^H1330 and my young men^H970 are fallen^H5307 by the sword^H2719: Thou hast slain^H2026 them in the day^H3117 of thine anger^H639; Thou hast slaughtered^H2873, and not pitied^H2550. 22Thou hast called^H7121, as in the day^H3117 of a solemn^H4150 assembly, my terrors^H4032 on every side^H5439; And there was none that escaped^H6412 or remained^H8300 in the day^H3117 of Jehovah's^H3068 anger^H639: Those that I have dandled^H2946 and brought up^H7235 hath mine enemy^H341 consumed^H3615.
