1. 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.
|
1. How H349 hath the Lord H136 covered H5743 H853 the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 with a cloud in his anger H639 , and cast down H7993 from heaven H4480 H8064 unto the earth H776 the beauty H8597 of Israel H3478 , and remembered H2142 not H3808 his footstool H1916 H7272 in the day H3117 of his anger H639 !
|
|
2. 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.
|
2. The Lord H136 hath swallowed up H1104 H853 all H3605 the habitations H4999 of Jacob H3290 , and hath not H3808 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 polluted H2490 the kingdom H4467 and the princes H8269 thereof.
|
|
3. 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.
|
3. He hath cut off H1438 in his fierce H2750 anger H639 all H3605 the horn H7161 of Israel H3478 : he hath drawn H7725 back H268 his right hand H3225 from before H4480 H6440 the enemy H341 , and he burned H1197 against Jacob H3290 like a flaming H3852 fire H784 , which devoureth H398 round about H5439 .
|
|
4. 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.
|
4. He hath bent H1869 his bow H7198 like an enemy H341 : he stood H5324 with his right hand H3225 as an adversary H6862 , and slew H2026 all H3605 that were pleasant H4261 to the eye H5869 in the tabernacle H168 of the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 : he poured out H8210 his fury H2534 like fire H784 .
|
|
5. 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.
|
5. The Lord H136 was H1961 as an enemy H341 : he hath swallowed up H1104 Israel H3478 , he hath swallowed up H1104 all H3605 her palaces H759 : he hath destroyed H7843 his strongholds H4013 , and hath increased H7235 in the daughter H1323 of Judah H3063 mourning H8386 and lamentation H592 .
|
|
6. 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.
|
6. And he hath violently taken away H2554 his tabernacle H7900 , as if it were of a garden H1588 : he hath destroyed H7843 his places of the assembly H4150 : the LORD H3068 hath caused the solemn feasts H4150 and sabbaths 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 .
|
|
7. 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.
|
7. The 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 the LORD H3068 , as in the day H3117 of a solemn feast H4150 .
|
|
8. 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.
|
8. The LORD H3068 hath purposed H2803 to destroy H7843 the wall H2346 of the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 : he hath stretched out H5186 a line H6957 , he hath not H3808 withdrawn H7725 his hand H3027 from destroying H4480 H1104 : therefore he made the rampart H2426 and the wall H2346 to lament H56 ; they languished H535 together H3162 .
|
|
9. 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.
|
9. Her 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 Gentiles H1471 : the law H8451 is no H369 more ; her prophets H5030 also H1571 find H4672 no H3808 vision H2377 from the LORD H4480 H3068 .
|
|
10. 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.
|
10. The elders H2205 of the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 sit H3427 upon the ground H776 , and keep silence H1826 : they have cast up H5927 dust H6083 upon H5921 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 .
|
|
11. 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,
|
11. Mine eyes H5869 do fail H3615 with tears H1832 , my bowels H4578 are troubled H2560 , my liver H3516 is poured H8210 upon the earth H776 , for H5921 the destruction H7667 of the daughter H1323 of my people H5971 ; because the children H5768 and the sucklings H3243 swoon H5848 in the streets H7339 of the city H7151 .
|
|
12. 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.
|
12. They say H559 to their mothers H517 , Where H346 is corn H1715 and wine H3196 ? when they swooned H5848 as the wounded H2491 in the streets H7339 of the city H5892 , when their soul H5315 was poured out H8210 into H413 their mothers H517 ' bosom H2436 .
|
|
13. 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?
|
13. What thing H4100 shall I take to witness H5749 for thee? what thing H4100 shall I liken H1819 to thee , O daughter H1323 of Jerusalem H3389 ? what H4100 shall I equal H7737 to thee , that I may comfort H5162 thee , O virgin H1330 daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 ? for H3588 thy breach H7667 is great H1419 like the sea H3220 : who H4310 can heal H7495 thee?
|
|
14. 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.
|
14. Thy prophets H5030 have seen H2372 vain H7723 and foolish things H8602 for thee : and they have not H3808 discovered H1540 H5921 thine iniquity H5771 , to turn away H7725 thy captivity H7622 ; but have seen H2372 for thee false H7723 burdens H4864 and causes of banishment H4065 .
|
|
15. 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?`
|
15. All H3605 that pass by H5674 H1870 clap H5606 their hands H3709 at H5921 thee ; they hiss H8319 and wag H5128 their head H7218 at H5921 the daughter H1323 of Jerusalem H3389 , saying, Is this H2063 the city H5892 that men call H7945 H559 The perfection H3632 of beauty H3308 , The joy H4885 of the whole H3605 earth H776 ?
|
|
16. 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.`
|
16. All H3605 thine enemies H341 have opened H6475 their mouth H6310 against H5921 thee : they hiss H8319 and gnash H2786 the teeth H8127 : they say H559 , We have swallowed her up H1104 : certainly H389 this H2088 is the day H3117 that we looked for H7945 H6960 ; we have found H4672 , we have seen H7200 it .
|
|
17. 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.
|
17. The LORD H3068 hath done H6213 that which H834 he had devised H2161 ; he hath fulfilled H1214 his word H565 that H834 he had commanded H6680 in the days H4480 H3117 of old H6924 : he hath thrown down H2040 , and hath not H3808 pitied H2550 : and he hath caused thine enemy H341 to rejoice H8055 over H5921 thee , he hath set up H7311 the horn H7161 of thine adversaries H6862 .
|
|
18. 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.
|
18. Their heart H3820 cried H6817 unto H413 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 H408 rest H6314 ; let not H408 the apple H1323 of thine eye H5869 cease H1826 .
|
|
19. 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.
|
19. Arise H6965 , cry out H7442 in the night H3915 : in the beginning H7218 of the watches H821 pour out H8210 thine heart H3820 like water H4325 before H5227 the face H6440 of the Lord H136 : lift up H5375 thy hands H3709 toward H413 him for H5921 the life H5315 of thy young children H5768 , that faint H5848 for hunger H7458 in the top H7218 of every H3605 street H2351 .
|
|
20. 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?
|
20. Behold H7200 , O LORD H3068 , and consider H5027 to whom H4310 thou hast done H5953 this H3541 . Shall the women H802 eat H398 their fruit H6529 , and children H5768 of a span long H2949 ? shall the priest H3548 and the prophet H5030 be slain H2026 in the sanctuary H4720 of the Lord H136 ?
|
|
21. 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.
|
21. The young H5288 and the old H2205 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 killed H2873 , and not H3808 pitied H2550 .
|
|
22. 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!
|
22. Thou hast called H7121 as in a solemn H4150 day H3117 my terrors H4032 round about H4480 H5439 , so that in the day H3117 of the LORD H3068 's anger H639 none H3808 escaped H1961 H6412 nor remained H8300 : those that H834 I have swaddled H2946 and brought up H7235 hath mine enemy H341 consumed H3615 .
