1. 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!
|
1. How H349 doth the city H5892 sit H3427 solitary H910 , that was full H7227 of people H5971 ! how is she become H1961 as a widow H490 ! she that was great H7227 among the nations H1471 , and princess H8282 among the provinces H4082 , how is she become H1961 tributary H4522 !
|
|
2. 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.
|
2. She weepeth sore H1058 H1058 in the night H3915 , and her tears H1832 are on H5921 her cheeks H3895 : among all H4480 H3605 her lovers H157 she hath none H369 to comfort H5162 her : all H3605 her friends H7453 have dealt treacherously H898 with her , they are become H1961 her enemies H341 .
|
|
3. 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.
|
3. Judah H3063 is gone into captivity H1540 because of affliction H4480 H6040 , and because of great H4480 H7230 servitude H5656 : she H1931 dwelleth H3427 among the heathen H1471 , she findeth H4672 no H3808 rest H4494 : all H3605 her persecutors H7291 overtook H5381 her between H996 the straits H4712 .
|
|
4. 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.
|
4. The ways H1870 of Zion H6726 do mourn H57 , because none H4480 H1097 come H935 to the solemn feasts H4150 : all H3605 her gates H8179 are desolate H8074 : her priests H3548 sigh H584 , her virgins H1330 are afflicted H3013 , and she H1931 is in bitterness H4843 .
|
|
5. 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.
|
5. Her adversaries H6862 are H1961 the chief H7218 , her enemies H341 prosper H7951 ; for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath afflicted H3013 her for H5921 the multitude H7230 of her transgressions H6588 : her children H5768 are gone H1980 into captivity H7628 before H6440 the enemy H6862 .
|
|
6. 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.
|
6. And from H4480 the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 all H3605 her beauty H1926 is departed H3318 : her princes H8269 are become H1961 like harts H354 that find H4672 no H3808 pasture H4829 , and they are gone H1980 without H3808 strength H3581 before H6440 the pursuer H7291 .
|
|
7. 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.
|
7. Jerusalem H3389 remembered H2142 in the days H3117 of her affliction H6040 and of her miseries H4788 all H3605 her pleasant things H4262 that H834 she had H1961 in the days H4480 H3117 of old H6924 , when her people H5971 fell H5307 into the hand H3027 of the enemy H6862 , and none H369 did help H5826 her : the adversaries H6862 saw H7200 her, and did mock H7832 at H5921 her sabbaths H4868 .
|
|
8. 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.
|
8. Jerusalem H3389 hath grievously sinned H2398 H2399 ; therefore H5921 H3651 she is H1961 removed H5206 : all H3605 that honored H3513 her despise H2151 her, because H3588 they have seen H7200 her nakedness H6172 : yea H1571 , she H1931 sigheth H584 , and turneth H7725 backward H268 .
|
|
9. 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.
|
9. Her filthiness H2932 is in her skirts H7757 ; she remembereth H2142 not H3808 her last end H319 ; therefore she came down H3381 wonderfully H6382 : she had no H369 comforter H5162 . O LORD H3068 , behold H7200 H853 my affliction H6040 : for H3588 the enemy H341 hath magnified H1431 himself .
|
|
10. 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.`
|
10. The adversary H6862 hath spread out H6566 his hand H3027 upon H5921 all H3605 her pleasant things H4261 : for H3588 she hath seen H7200 that the heathen H1471 entered H935 into her sanctuary H4720 , whom H834 thou didst command H6680 that they should not H3808 enter H935 into thy congregation H6951 .
|
|
11. 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.
|
11. All H3605 her people H5971 sigh H584 , they seek H1245 bread H3899 ; they have given H5414 their pleasant things H4262 for meat H400 to relieve H7725 the soul H5315 : see H7200 , O LORD H3068 , and consider H5027 ; for H3588 I am become H1961 vile H2151 .
|
|
12. 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.
|
12. Is it nothing H3808 to H413 you, all H3605 ye that pass by H5674 H1870 ? behold H5027 , and see H7200 if H518 there be H3426 any sorrow H4341 like unto my sorrow H4341 , which H834 is done H5953 unto me, wherewith H834 the LORD H3068 hath afflicted H3013 me in the day H3117 of his fierce H2740 anger H639 .
|
|
13. 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.
|
13. From above H4480 H4791 hath he sent H7971 fire H784 into my bones H6106 , and it prevaileth against H7287 them : he hath spread H6566 a net H7568 for my feet H7272 , he hath turned H7725 me back H268 : he hath made H5414 me desolate H8074 and faint H1739 all H3605 the day H3117 .
|
|
14. 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.
|
14. The yoke H5923 of my transgressions H6588 is bound H8244 by his hand H3027 : they are wreathed H8276 , and come up H5927 upon H5921 my neck H6677 : he hath made my strength H3581 to fall H3782 , the Lord H136 hath delivered H5414 me into their hands H3027 , from whom I am not able H3201 H3808 to rise up H6965 .
|
|
15. 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.
|
15. The Lord H136 hath trodden under foot H5541 all H3605 my mighty H47 men in the midst H7130 of me : he hath called H7121 an assembly H4150 against H5921 me to crush H7665 my young men H970 : the Lord H136 hath trodden H1869 the virgin H1330 , the daughter H1323 of Judah H3063 , as in a winepress H1660 .
|
|
16. 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.
|
16. For H5921 these H428 things I H589 weep H1058 ; mine eye H5869 , mine eye H5869 runneth down H3381 with water H4325 , because H3588 the comforter H5162 that should relieve H7725 my soul H5315 is far H7368 from H4480 me : my children H1121 are H1961 desolate H8074 , because H3588 the enemy H341 prevailed H1396 .
|
|
17. 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.
|
17. Zion H6726 spreadeth forth H6566 her hands H3027 , and there is none H369 to comfort H5162 her : the LORD H3068 hath commanded H6680 concerning Jacob H3290 , that his adversaries H6862 should be round about H5439 him: Jerusalem H3389 is H1961 as a menstruous woman H5079 among H996 them.
|
|
18. 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.
|
18. The LORD H3068 is righteous H6662 ; for H3588 I have rebelled H4784 against his commandment H6310 : hear H8085 , I pray you H4994 , all H3605 people H5971 , and behold H7200 my sorrow H4341 : my virgins H1330 and my young men H970 are gone H1980 into captivity H7628 .
|
|
19. 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.
|
19. I called H7121 for my lovers H157 , but they H1992 deceived H7411 me : my priests H3548 and mine elders H2205 gave up the ghost H1478 in the city H5892 , while H3588 they sought H1245 their meat H400 to relieve H7725 H853 their souls H5315 .
|
|
20. 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.
|
20. Behold H7200 , O LORD H3068 ; for H3588 I am in distress H6862 : my bowels H4578 are troubled H2560 ; mine heart H3820 is turned H2015 within H7130 me; for H3588 I have grievously rebelled H4784 H4784 : abroad H4480 H2351 the sword H2719 bereaveth H7921 , at home H1004 there is as death H4194 .
|
|
21. 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.
|
21. They have heard H8085 that H3588 I H589 sigh H584 : there is none H369 to comfort H5162 me: all H3605 mine enemies H341 have heard H8085 of my trouble H7451 ; they are glad H7797 that H3588 thou H859 hast done H6213 it : thou wilt bring H935 the day H3117 that thou hast called H7121 , and they shall be H1961 like unto me H3644 .
|
|
22. 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!
|
22. Let all H3605 their wickedness H7451 come H935 before H6440 thee ; and do H5953 unto them, as H834 thou hast done H5953 unto me for H5921 all H3605 my transgressions H6588 : for H3588 my sighs H585 are many H7227 , and my heart H3820 is faint H1742 .
