Lamentations 1
New International Version Help
1How deserted lies the city, once so full of people! How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations! She who was queen among the provinces has now become a slave.H5892H3427H910H7227H5971H490H7227H1471H8282H4082H4522 2Bitterly she weeps at night, tears are upon her cheeks. Among all her lovers there is none to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her; they have become her enemies.H1058H1058H3915H1832H3895H157H5162H7453H898H341 3After affliction and harsh labor, Judah has gone into exile. She dwells among the nations; she finds no resting place. All who pursue her have overtaken her in the midst of her distress.H3063H1540H6040H7230H5656H3427H1471H4672H4494H7291H5381H4712 4The roads to Zion mourn, for no one comes to her appointed feasts. All her gateways are desolate, her priests groan, her maidens grieve, and she is in bitter anguish.H1870H6726H57H935H4150H8179H8074H3548H584H1330H3013H4843 5Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. The LORD has brought her grief because of her many sins. Her children have gone into exile, captive before the foe.H6862H7218H341H7951H3068H3013H7230H6588H5768H1980H7628H6440H6862 6All the splendor has departed from the Daughter of Zion. Her princes are like deer that find no pasture; in weakness they have fled before the pursuer.H1323H6726H1926H3318H8269H354H4672H4829H3212H3581H6440H7291 7In the days of her affliction and wandering Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into enemy hands, there was no one to help her. Her enemies looked at her and laughed at her destruction.H3389H2142H3117H6040H4788H4262H3117H6924H5971H5307H3027H6862H5826H6862H7200H7832H4868 8Jerusalem has sinned greatly and so has become unclean. All who honored her despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans and turns away.H3389H2399H2398H5206H3513H2107H7200H6172H584H7725H268 9Her filthiness clung to her skirts; she did not consider her future. Her fall was astounding; there was none to comfort her. "Look, O LORD, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed."H2932H7757H2142H319H3381H6382H5162H3068H7200H6040H341H1431 10The enemy laid hands on all her treasures; she saw pagan nations enter her sanctuary—those you had forbidden to enter your assembly.H6862H6566H3027H4261H7200H1471H935H4720H6680H935H6951 11All her people groan as they search for bread; they barter their treasures for food to keep themselves alive. "Look, O LORD, and consider, for I am despised."H5971H584H1245H3899H5414H4261H4262H400H7725H5315H7200H3068H5027H2151 12"Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around and see. Is any suffering like my suffering that was inflicted on me, that the LORD brought on me in the day of his fierce anger?H5674H1870H5027H7200H3426H4341H4341H5953H3068H3013H3117H2740H639 13"From on high he sent fire, sent it down into my bones. He spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He made me desolate, faint all the day long.H4791H7971H784H6106H7287H6566H7568H7272H7725H268H5414H8074H1739H3117 14"My sins have been bound into a yoke; by his hands they were woven together. They have come upon my neck and the Lord has sapped my strength. He has handed me over to those I cannot withstand.H5923H6588H8244H3027H8276H5927H6677H3581H3782H136H5414H3027H3201H6965 15"The Lord has rejected all the warriors in my midst; he has summoned an army against me to crush my young men. In his winepress the Lord has trampled the Virgin Daughter of Judah.H136H5541H47H7130H7121H4150H7665H970H136H1869H1330H1323H3063H1660 16"This is why I weep and my eyes overflow with tears. No one is near to comfort me, no one to restore my spirit. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed."H1058H5869H5869H3381H4325H5162H7725H5315H7368H1121H8074H341H1396 17Zion stretches out her hands, but there is no one to comfort her. The LORD has decreed for Jacob that his neighbors become his foes; Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.H6726H6566H3027H5162H3068H6680H3290H6862H5439H3389H5079 18"The LORD is righteous, yet I rebelled against his command. Listen, all you peoples; look upon my suffering. My young men and maidens have gone into exile.H3068H6662H4784H6310H8085H5971H7200H4341H1330H970H1980H7628 19"I called to my allies but they betrayed me. My priests and my elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive.H7121H157H7411H3548H2205H1478H5892H1245H400H7725H5315 20"See, O LORD, how distressed I am! I am in torment within, and in my heart I am disturbed, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is only death.H7200H3068H6887H4578H2560H3820H2015H7130H4784H4784H2351H2719H7921H1004H4194 21"People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my distress; they rejoice at what you have done. May you bring the day you have announced so they may become like me.H8085H584H5162H341H8085H7451H7797H6213H935H3117H7121H3644 22"Let all their wickedness come before you; deal with them as you have dealt with me because of all my sins. My groans are many and my heart is faint."H7451H935H6440H5953H5953H6588H585H7227H3820H1742
