25 Lamentations
25-1:1 How349 doth the city5892 sit3427 solitary,910 that was full7227 of people!5971 how is she become1961 as a widow!490 she that was great7227 among the nations,1471 and princess8282 among the provinces,4082 how is she become1961 tributary!4522
25-1:2 She weepeth sore1058, 1058 in the night,3915 and her tears1832 are on5921 her cheeks:3895 among all4480, 3605 her lovers157 she hath none369 to comfort5162 her: all3605 her friends7453 have dealt treacherously898 with her, they are become1961 her enemies.341
25-1:3 Judah3063 is gone into captivity1540 because of affliction,4480, 6040 and because of great4480, 7230 servitude:5656 she1931 dwelleth3427 among the heathen,1471 she findeth4672 no3808 rest:4494 all3605 her persecutors7291 overtook5381 her between996 the straits.4712
25-1:4 The ways1870 of Zion6726 do mourn,57 because none4480, 1097 come935 to the solemn feasts:4150 all3605 her gates8179 are desolate:8074 her priests3548 sigh,584 her virgins1330 are afflicted,3013 and she1931 is in bitterness.4843
25-1:5 Her adversaries6862 are1961 the chief,7218 her enemies341 prosper;7951 for3588 the LORD3068 hath afflicted3013 her for5921 the multitude7230 of her transgressions:6588 her children5768 are gone1980 into captivity7628 before6440 the enemy.6862
25-1:6 And from4480 the daughter1323 of Zion6726 all3605 her beauty1926 is departed:3318 her princes8269 are become1961 like harts354 that find4672 no3808 pasture,4829 and they are gone1980 without3808 strength3581 before6440 the pursuer.7291
25-1:7 Jerusalem3389 remembered2142 in the days3117 of her affliction6040 and of her miseries4788 all3605 her pleasant things4262 that834 she had1961 in the days4480, 3117 of old,6924 when her people5971 fell5307 into the hand3027 of the enemy,6862 and none369 did help5826 her: the adversaries6862 saw7200 her, and did mock7832 at5921 her sabbaths.4868
25-1:8 Jerusalem3389 hath grievously sinned;2398, 2399 therefore5921, 3651 she is1961 removed:5206 all3605 that honored3513 her despise2151 her, because3588 they have seen7200 her nakedness:6172 yea,1571 she1931 sigheth,584 and turneth7725 backward.268
25-1:9 Her filthiness2932 is in her skirts;7757 she remembereth2142 not3808 her last end;319 therefore she came down3381 wonderfully:6382 she had no369 comforter.5162 O LORD,3068 behold7200 (853) my affliction:6040 for3588 the enemy341 hath magnified1431 himself.
25-1:10 The adversary6862 hath spread out6566 his hand3027 upon5921 all3605 her pleasant things:4261 for3588 she hath seen7200 that the heathen1471 entered935 into her sanctuary,4720 whom834 thou didst command6680 that they should not3808 enter935 into thy congregation.6951
25-1:11 All3605 her people5971 sigh,584 they seek1245 bread;3899 they have given5414 their pleasant things4262 for meat400 to relieve7725 the soul:5315 see,7200 O LORD,3068 and consider;5027 for3588 I am become1961 vile.2151
25-1:12 Is it nothing3808 to413 you, all3605 ye that pass by?5674, 1870 behold,5027 and see7200 if518 there be3426 any sorrow4341 like unto my sorrow,4341 which834 is done5953 unto me, wherewith834 the LORD3068 hath afflicted3013 me in the day3117 of his fierce2740 anger.639
25-1:13 From above4480, 4791 hath he sent7971 fire784 into my bones,6106 and it prevaileth against7287 them: he hath spread6566 a net7568 for my feet,7272 he hath turned7725 me back:268 he hath made5414 me desolate8074 and faint1739 all3605 the day.3117
25-1:14 The yoke5923 of my transgressions6588 is bound8244 by his hand:3027 they are wreathed,8276 and come up5927 upon5921 my neck:6677 he hath made my strength3581 to fall,3782 the Lord136 hath delivered5414 me into their hands,3027 from whom I am not able3201, 3808 to rise up.6965
25-1:15 The Lord136 hath trodden under foot5541 all3605 my mighty47 men in the midst7130 of me: he hath called7121 an assembly4150 against5921 me to crush7665 my young men:970 the Lord136 hath trodden1869 the virgin,1330 the daughter1323 of Judah,3063 as in a winepress.1660
25-1:16 For5921 these428 things I589 weep;1058 mine eye,5869 mine eye5869 runneth down3381 with water,4325 because3588 the comforter5162 that should relieve7725 my soul5315 is far7368 from4480 me: my children1121 are1961 desolate,8074 because3588 the enemy341 prevailed.1396
25-1:17 Zion6726 spreadeth forth6566 her hands,3027 and there is none369 to comfort5162 her: the LORD3068 hath commanded6680 concerning Jacob,3290 that his adversaries6862 should be round about5439 him: Jerusalem3389 is1961 as a menstruous woman5079 among996 them.
25-1:18 The LORD3068 is righteous;6662 for3588 I have rebelled4784 against his commandment:6310 hear,8085 I pray you,4994 all3605 people,5971 and behold7200 my sorrow:4341 my virgins1330 and my young men970 are gone1980 into captivity.7628
25-1:19 I called7121 for my lovers,157 but they1992 deceived7411 me: my priests3548 and mine elders2205 gave up the ghost1478 in the city,5892 while3588 they sought1245 their meat400 to relieve7725 (853) their souls.5315
25-1:20 Behold,7200 O LORD;3068 for3588 I am in distress:6862 my bowels4578 are troubled;2560 mine heart3820 is turned2015 within7130 me; for3588 I have grievously rebelled:4784, 4784 abroad4480, 2351 the sword2719 bereaveth,7921 at home1004 there is as death.4194
25-1:21 They have heard8085 that3588 I589 sigh:584 there is none369 to comfort5162 me: all3605 mine enemies341 have heard8085 of my trouble;7451 they are glad7797 that3588 thou859 hast done6213 it: thou wilt bring935 the day3117 that thou hast called,7121 and they shall be1961 like unto me.3644
25-1:22 Let all3605 their wickedness7451 come935 before6440 thee; and do5953 unto them, as834 thou hast done5953 unto me for5921 all3605 my transgressions:6588 for3588 my sighs585 are many,7227 and my heart3820 is faint.1742

25 Lamentations
25-2:1 How349 hath the Lord136 covered5743 (853) the daughter1323 of Zion6726 with a cloud in his anger,639 and cast down7993 from heaven4480, 8064 unto the earth776 the beauty8597 of Israel,3478 and remembered2142 not3808 his footstool1916, 7272 in the day3117 of his anger!639
25-2:2 The Lord136 hath swallowed up1104 (853) all3605 the habitations4999 of Jacob,3290 and hath not3808 pitied:2550 he hath thrown down2040 in his wrath5678 the strongholds4013 of the daughter1323 of Judah;3063 he hath brought them down5060 to the ground:776 he hath polluted2490 the kingdom4467 and the princes8269 thereof.
25-2:3 He hath cut off1438 in his fierce2750 anger639 all3605 the horn7161 of Israel:3478 he hath drawn7725 back268 his right hand3225 from before4480, 6440 the enemy,341 and he burned1197 against Jacob3290 like a flaming3852 fire,784 which devoureth398 round about.5439
25-2:4 He hath bent1869 his bow7198 like an enemy:341 he stood5324 with his right hand3225 as an adversary,6862 and slew2026 all3605 that were pleasant4261 to the eye5869 in the tabernacle168 of the daughter1323 of Zion:6726 he poured out8210 his fury2534 like fire.784
25-2:5 The Lord136 was1961 as an enemy:341 he hath swallowed up1104 Israel,3478 he hath swallowed up1104 all3605 her palaces:759 he hath destroyed7843 his strongholds,4013 and hath increased7235 in the daughter1323 of Judah3063 mourning8386 and lamentation.592
25-2:6 And he hath violently taken away2554 his tabernacle,7900 as if it were of a garden:1588 he hath destroyed7843 his places of the assembly:4150 the LORD3068 hath caused the solemn feasts4150 and sabbaths7676 to be forgotten7911 in Zion,6726 and hath despised5006 in the indignation2195 of his anger639 the king4428 and the priest.3548
25-2:7 The Lord136 hath cast off2186 his altar,4196 he hath abhorred5010 his sanctuary,4720 he hath given up5462 into the hand3027 of the enemy341 the walls2346 of her palaces;759 they have made5414 a noise6963 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 as in the day3117 of a solemn feast.4150
25-2:8 The LORD3068 hath purposed2803 to destroy7843 the wall2346 of the daughter1323 of Zion:6726 he hath stretched out5186 a line,6957 he hath not3808 withdrawn7725 his hand3027 from destroying:4480, 1104 therefore he made the rampart2426 and the wall2346 to lament;56 they languished535 together.3162
25-2:9 Her gates8179 are sunk2883 into the ground;776 he hath destroyed6 and broken7665 her bars:1280 her king4428 and her princes8269 are among the Gentiles:1471 the law8451 is no369 more; her prophets5030 also1571 find4672 no3808 vision2377 from the LORD.4480, 3068
25-2:10 The elders2205 of the daughter1323 of Zion6726 sit3427 upon the ground,776 and keep silence:1826 they have cast up5927 dust6083 upon5921 their heads;7218 they have girded2296 themselves with sackcloth:8242 the virgins1330 of Jerusalem3389 hang down3381 their heads7218 to the ground.776
25-2:11 Mine eyes5869 do fail3615 with tears,1832 my bowels4578 are troubled,2560 my liver3516 is poured8210 upon the earth,776 for5921 the destruction7667 of the daughter1323 of my people;5971 because the children5768 and the sucklings3243 swoon5848 in the streets7339 of the city.7151
25-2:12 They say559 to their mothers,517 Where346 is corn1715 and wine?3196 when they swooned5848 as the wounded2491 in the streets7339 of the city,5892 when their soul5315 was poured out8210 into413 their mothers'517 bosom.2436
25-2:13 What thing4100 shall I take to witness5749 for thee? what thing4100 shall I liken1819 to thee, O daughter1323 of Jerusalem?3389 what4100 shall I equal7737 to thee, that I may comfort5162 thee, O virgin1330 daughter1323 of Zion?6726 for3588 thy breach7667 is great1419 like the sea:3220 who4310 can heal7495 thee?
25-2:14 Thy prophets5030 have seen2372 vain7723 and foolish things8602 for thee: and they have not3808 discovered1540, 5921 thine iniquity,5771 to turn away7725 thy captivity;7622 but have seen2372 for thee false7723 burdens4864 and causes of banishment.4065
25-2:15 All3605 that pass by5674, 1870 clap5606 their hands3709 at5921 thee; they hiss8319 and wag5128 their head7218 at5921 the daughter1323 of Jerusalem,3389 saying, Is this2063 the city5892 that men call7945, 559 The perfection3632 of beauty,3308 The joy4885 of the whole3605 earth?776
25-2:16 All3605 thine enemies341 have opened6475 their mouth6310 against5921 thee: they hiss8319 and gnash2786 the teeth:8127 they say,559 We have swallowed her up:1104 certainly389 this2088 is the day3117 that we looked for;7945, 6960 we have found,4672 we have seen7200 it.
25-2:17 The LORD3068 hath done6213 that which834 he had devised;2161 he hath fulfilled1214 his word565 that834 he had commanded6680 in the days4480, 3117 of old:6924 he hath thrown down,2040 and hath not3808 pitied:2550 and he hath caused thine enemy341 to rejoice8055 over5921 thee, he hath set up7311 the horn7161 of thine adversaries.6862
25-2:18 Their heart3820 cried6817 unto413 the Lord,136 O wall2346 of the daughter1323 of Zion,6726 let tears1832 run down3381 like a river5158 day3119 and night:3915 give5414 thyself no408 rest;6314 let not408 the apple1323 of thine eye5869 cease.1826
25-2:19 Arise,6965 cry out7442 in the night:3915 in the beginning7218 of the watches821 pour out8210 thine heart3820 like water4325 before5227 the face6440 of the Lord:136 lift up5375 thy hands3709 toward413 him for5921 the life5315 of thy young children,5768 that faint5848 for hunger7458 in the top7218 of every3605 street.2351
25-2:20 Behold,7200 O LORD,3068 and consider5027 to whom4310 thou hast done5953 this.3541 Shall the women802 eat398 their fruit,6529 and children5768 of a span long?2949 shall the priest3548 and the prophet5030 be slain2026 in the sanctuary4720 of the Lord?136
25-2:21 The young5288 and the old2205 lie7901 on the ground776 in the streets:2351 my virgins1330 and my young men970 are fallen5307 by the sword;2719 thou hast slain2026 them in the day3117 of thine anger;639 thou hast killed,2873 and not3808 pitied.2550
25-2:22 Thou hast called7121 as in a solemn4150 day3117 my terrors4032 round about,4480, 5439 so that in the day3117 of the LORD's3068 anger639 none3808 escaped1961, 6412 nor remained:8300 those that834 I have swaddled2946 and brought up7235 hath mine enemy341 consumed.3615

25-3:1 I589 am the man1397 that hath seen7200 affliction6040 by the rod7626 of his wrath.5678
25-3:2 He hath led5090 me, and brought1980 me into darkness,2822 but not3808 into light.216
25-3:3 Surely389 against me is he turned;7725 he turneth2015 his hand3027 against me all3605 the day.3117
25-3:4 My flesh1320 and my skin5785 hath he made old;1086 he hath broken7665 my bones.6106
25-3:5 He hath built1129 against5921 me, and compassed5362 me with gall7219 and travail.8513
25-3:6 He hath set3427 me in dark places,4285 as they that be dead4191 of old.5769
25-3:7 He hath hedged1443 me about,1157 that I cannot3808 get out:3318 he hath made my chain heavy.3513, 5178
25-3:8 Also1571 when3588 I cry2199 and shout,7768 he shutteth out5640 my prayer.8605
25-3:9 He hath enclosed1443 my ways1870 with hewn stone,1496 he hath made my paths crooked.5753, 5410
25-3:10 He1931 was unto me as a bear1677 lying in wait,693 and as a lion738 in secret places.4565
25-3:11 He hath turned aside5493 my ways,1870 and pulled me in pieces:6582 he hath made7760 me desolate.8074
25-3:12 He hath bent1869 his bow,7198 and set5324 me as a mark4307 for the arrow.2671
25-3:13 He hath caused the arrows1121 of his quiver827 to enter935 into my reins.3629
25-3:14 I was1961 a derision7814 to all3605 my people;5971 and their song5058 all3605 the day.3117
25-3:15 He hath filled7646 me with bitterness,4844 he hath made me drunken7301 with wormwood.3939
25-3:16 He hath also broken1638 my teeth8127 with gravel stones,2687 he hath covered3728 me with ashes.665
25-3:17 And thou hast removed my soul far off2186, 5315 from peace:4480, 7965 I forgot5382 prosperity.2896
25-3:18 And I said,559 My strength5331 and my hope8431 is perished6 from the LORD:4480, 3068
25-3:19 Remembering2142 mine affliction6040 and my misery,4788 the wormwood3939 and the gall.7219
25-3:20 My soul5315 hath them still in remembrance,2142, 2142 and is humbled7743 in5921 me.
25-3:21 This2063 I recall7725 to413 my mind,3820 therefore5921, 3651 have I hope.3176
25-3:22 It is of the LORD's3068 mercies2617 that3588 we are not3808 consumed,8552 because3588 his compassions7356 fail3615 not.3808

25-3:24 The LORD3068 is my portion,2506 saith559 my soul;5315 therefore5921, 3651 will I hope3176 in him.

25-3:27 It is good2896 for a man1397 that3588 he bear5375 the yoke5923 in his youth.5271
25-3:28 He sitteth3427 alone910 and keepeth silence,1826 because3588 he hath borne5190 it upon5921 him.
25-3:29 He putteth5414 his mouth6310 in the dust;6083 if so be194 there may be3426 hope.8615
25-3:30 He giveth5414 his cheek3895 to him that smiteth5221 him: he is filled full7646 with reproach.2781
