How hath the Lord
covered
the daughter
of Zion
with a cloud
in his anger
,
and
cast down
from heaven
unto the earth
the beauty
of Israel
,
and remembered
not his footstool
in the day
of his anger
!
2
The Lord
hath swallowed up
all the habitations
of Jacob
,
and hath not pitied
:
he hath thrown down
in his wrath
the strong holds
of the daughter
of Judah
;
he hath brought
them
down
to the ground
:
he hath polluted
the kingdom
and the princes
thereof.
3
He hath cut off
in
his
fierce
anger
all the horn
of Israel
:
he hath drawn
back
his right hand
from before
the enemy,
and he burned
against Jacob
like a flaming
fire
,
which
devoureth
round about
.
4
He hath bent
his bow
like an enemy:
he stood
with his right hand
as an adversary
,
and slew
all
that were
pleasant
to the eye
in the tabernacle
of the daughter
of Zion
:
he poured out
his fury
like fire
.
5
The Lord
was as an enemy:
he hath swallowed up
Israel
,
he hath swallowed up
all
her palaces
:
he hath destroyed
his strong holds
,
and hath increased
in the daughter
of Judah
mourning
and lamentation
.
6
And he hath violently taken away
his tabernacle
,
as
if it were of
a garden
:
he hath destroyed
his places of the assembly
:
the LORD
hath caused the solemn feasts
and sabbaths
to be forgotten
in Zion
,
and hath despised
in the indignation
of his anger
the king
and the priest
.
7
The Lord
hath cast off
his altar
,
he hath abhorred
his sanctuary
,
he hath given up
into the hand
of the enemy
the walls
of her palaces
;
they have made
a noise
in the house
of the LORD
,
as in the day
of a solemn feast
.
8
The LORD
hath purposed
to destroy
the wall
of the daughter
of Zion
:
he hath stretched out
a line
,
he hath not withdrawn
his hand
from destroying
:
therefore he made the rampart
and
the wall
to lament
;
they languished
together.
9
Her gates
are sunk
into the ground
;
he hath destroyed
and broken
her bars
:
her king
and her princes
are
among the Gentiles
:
the law
is
no
more
; her prophets
also find
no vision
from the LORD
.
10
The elders
of the daughter
of Zion
sit
upon the ground
,
and
keep silence
:
they have cast up
dust
upon
their heads
;
they have girded
themselves with sackcloth
:
the virgins
of Jerusalem
hang down
their heads
to the ground
.
11
Mine eyes
do fail
with tears
,
my bowels
are troubled
,
my liver
is poured
upon the earth
,
for the destruction
of the daughter
of my people
;
because the children
and the sucklings
swoon
in the streets
of the city
.
12
They say
to their mothers
,
Where
is
corn
and wine? when they swooned
as the wounded
in the streets
of the city
,
when their soul
was poured out
in
to their mothers
'
bosom
.
13
What thing shall I take to witness
for thee? what thing
shall I
liken
to thee, O
daughter
of
Jerusalem
? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin
daughter
of
Zion
? for thy breach
is
great
like the sea
:
who can heal
thee?
14
Thy prophets
have seen
vain
and foolish things
for thee: and they have not discovered
thine iniquity
,
to turn away
thy captivity;
but
have seen
for thee false
burdens
and causes of banishment
.
15
All
that pass
by clap
their
hands
at thee
;
they hiss
and wag
their head
at the daughter
of Jerusalem
,
saying, Is
this the city
that
men
call
The perfection
of beauty
,
The joy
of the whole earth?
16
All
thine enemies
have opened
their mouth
against
thee: 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
.
17
The LORD
hath done
that
which he had devised
;
he hath fulfilled
his word
that he had commanded
in the days
of old
:
he hath thrown down
,
and hath not pitied
: and he hath caused
thine
enemy
to rejoice
over
thee, he hath set up
the horn
of thine adversaries
.
18
Their heart
cried
unto the Lord
,
O wall
of the daughter
of Zion
,
let tears
run down
like a river
day
and night
:
give
thyself
no
rest
; let not the apple
of thine eye
cease
.
19
Arise
,
cry out
in the night:
in the beginning
of the watches
pour out
thine heart
like water
before
the face
of the Lord
:
lift up
thy hands
toward him for the life
of thy young children
,
that faint
for hunger
in the top
of every
street
.
20
Behold
,
O LORD
,
and consider
to
whom
thou hast done
this
.
Shall the women
eat
their fruit
,
and
children
of a span long? shall the priest
and the prophet
be slain
in the sanctuary
of
the Lord
?
21
The young
and the old
lie
on the ground
in the streets
:
my virgins
and my young men
are fallen
by the sword
;
thou hast slain
them
in the day
of thine anger
;
thou hast killed
,
and
not pitied
.
22
Thou hast called
as in a solemn
day
my terrors
round about
,
so that in the
day
of the LORD'S
anger
no
ne escaped
no
r remained
:
those that I have swaddled
and brought up
hath mine enemy
consumed
.
