1How doth the city H5892 sit H3427 (H8804) solitary H910, that was full H7227 of people H5971! how is she become as a widow H490! she that was great H7227 among the nations H1471, and princess H8282 among the provinces H4082, how is she become tributary H4522!

2She weepeth H1058 (H8799) sore H1058 (H8800) in the night H3915, and her tears H1832 are on her cheeks H3895: among all her lovers H157 (H8802) she hath none to comfort H5162 (H8764) her: all her friends H7453 have dealt treacherously H898 (H8804) with her, they are become her enemies H341 (H8802).

3Judah H3063 is gone into captivity H1540 (H8804) because of affliction H6040, and because of great H7230 servitude H5656: she dwelleth H3427 (H8804) among the heathen H1471, she findeth H4672 (H8804) no rest H4494: all her persecutors H7291 (H8802) overtook H5381 (H8689) her between the straits H4712.

4The ways H1870 of Zion H6726 do mourn H57, because none come H935 (H8802) to the solemn feasts H4150: all her gates H8179 are desolate H8074 (H8802): her priests H3548 sigh H584 (H8737), her virgins H1330 are afflicted H3013 (H8737), and she is in bitterness H4843 (H8804).

5Her adversaries H6862 are the chief H7218, her enemies H341 (H8802) prosper H7951 (H8804); for the LORD H3068 hath afflicted H3013 (H8689) her for the multitude H7230 of her transgressions H6588: her children H5768 are gone H1980 (H8804) into captivity H7628 before H6440 the enemy H6862.

6And from the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 all her beauty H1926 is departed H3318 (H8799): her princes H8269 are become like harts H354 that find H4672 (H8804) no pasture H4829, and they are gone H3212 (H8799) without strength H3581 before H6440 the pursuer H7291 (H8802).

7Jerusalem H3389 remembered H2142 (H8804) in the days H3117 of her affliction H6040 and of her miseries H4788 all her pleasant things H4262 that she had in the days H3117 of old H6924, when her people H5971 fell H5307 (H8800) into the hand H3027 of the enemy H6862, and none did help H5826 (H8802) her: the adversaries H6862 saw H7200 (H8804) her, and did mock H7832 (H8804) at her sabbaths H4868.

8Jerusalem H3389 hath grievously H2399 sinned H2398 (H8804); therefore she is removed H5206: all that honoured H3513 (H8764) her despise H2107 (H8689) her, because they have seen H7200 (H8804) her nakedness H6172: yea, she sigheth H584 (H8738), and turneth H7725 (H8799) backward H268.

9Her filthiness H2932 is in her skirts H7757; she remembereth H2142 (H8804) not her last end H319; therefore she came down H3381 (H8799) wonderfully H6382: she had no comforter H5162 (H8764). O LORD H3068, behold H7200 (H8798) my affliction H6040: for the enemy H341 (H8802) hath magnified H1431 (H8689) himself.

10The adversary H6862 hath spread out H6566 (H8804) his hand H3027 upon all her pleasant things H4261: for she hath seen H7200 (H8804) that the heathen H1471 entered H935 (H8804) into her sanctuary H4720, whom thou didst command H6680 (H8765) that they should not enter H935 (H8799) into thy congregation H6951.

11All her people H5971 sigh H584 (H8737), they seek H1245 (H8764) bread H3899; they have given H5414 (H8804) their pleasant things H4261 (H8675) H4262 for meat H400 to relieve H7725 (H8687) the soul H5315: see H7200 (H8798), O LORD H3068, and consider H5027 (H8685); for I am become vile H2151 (H8802).

12Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass H5674 (H8802) by H1870? behold H5027 (H8685), and see H7200 (H8798) if there be H3426 any sorrow H4341 like unto my sorrow H4341, which is done H5953 (H8776) unto me, wherewith the LORD H3068 hath afflicted H3013 (H8689) me in the day H3117 of his fierce H2740 anger H639.

13From above H4791 hath he sent H7971 (H8804) fire H784 into my bones H6106, and it prevaileth H7287 (H8799) against them: he hath spread H6566 (H8804) a net H7568 for my feet H7272, he hath turned H7725 (H8689) me back H268: he hath made H5414 (H8804) me desolate H8074 (H8802) and faint H1739 all the day H3117.

14The yoke H5923 of my transgressions H6588 is bound H8244 (H8738) by his hand H3027: they are wreathed H8276 (H8691), and come up H5927 (H8804) upon my neck H6677: he hath made my strength H3581 to fall H3782 (H8689), the Lord H136 hath delivered H5414 (H8804) me into their hands H3027, from whom I am not able H3201 (H8799) to rise up H6965 (H8800).

15The Lord H136 hath trodden under foot H5541 (H8765) all my mighty H47 men in the midst H7130 of me: he hath called H7121 (H8804) an assembly H4150 against me to crush H7665 (H8800) my young men H970: the Lord H136 hath trodden H1869 (H8804) the virgin H1330, the daughter H1323 of Judah H3063, as in a winepress H1660.

16For these things I weep H1058 (H8802); mine eye H5869, mine eye H5869 runneth down H3381 (H8802) with water H4325, because the comforter H5162 (H8764) that should relieve H7725 (H8688) my soul H5315 is far H7368 (H8804) from me: my children H1121 are desolate H8074 (H8802), because the enemy H341 (H8802) prevailed H1396 (H8804).

17Zion H6726 spreadeth forth H6566 (H8765) her hands H3027, and there is none to comfort H5162 (H8764) her: the LORD H3068 hath commanded H6680 (H8765) concerning Jacob H3290, that his adversaries H6862 should be round about H5439 him: Jerusalem H3389 is as a menstruous woman H5079 among them.

18The LORD H3068 is righteous H6662; for I have rebelled H4784 (H8804) against his commandment H6310: hear H8085 (H8798), I pray you, all people H5971, and behold H7200 (H8798) my sorrow H4341: my virgins H1330 and my young men H970 are gone H1980 (H8804) into captivity H7628.

19I called H7121 (H8804) for my lovers H157 (H8764), but they deceived H7411 (H8765) me: my priests H3548 and mine elders H2205 gave up the ghost H1478 (H8804) in the city H5892, while they sought H1245 (H8765) their meat H400 to relieve H7725 (H8686) their souls H5315.

20Behold H7200 (H8798), O LORD H3068; for I am in distress H6887 (H8804): my bowels H4578 are troubled H2560 (H8777); mine heart H3820 is turned H2015 (H8738) within H7130 me; for I have grievously H4784 (H8800) rebelled H4784 (H8804): abroad H2351 the sword H2719 bereaveth H7921 (H8765), at home H1004 there is as death H4194.

21They have heard H8085 (H8804) that I sigh H584 (H8737): there is none to comfort H5162 (H8764) me: all mine enemies H341 (H8802) have heard H8085 (H8804) of my trouble H7451; they are glad H7797 (H8804) that thou hast done H6213 (H8804) it: thou wilt bring H935 (H8689) the day H3117 that thou hast called H7121 (H8804), and they shall be like H3644 unto me.

22Let all their wickedness H7451 come H935 (H8799) before H6440 thee; and do H5953 (H8778) unto them, as thou hast done H5953 (H8782) unto me for all my transgressions H6588: for my sighs H585 are many H7227, and my heart H3820 is faint H1742.
