1HOW SOLITARY {and} lonely sits the city [Jerusalem] that was [once] full of people! How like a widow has she become! She who was great among the nations and princess among the provinces has become a tributary [in servitude]!H5892H3427H910H7227H5971H490H7227H1471H8282H4082H4522 2She weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears are [constantly] on her cheeks. Among all her lovers (allies) she has no one to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they have become her enemies.H1058H1058H3915H1832H3895H157H5162H7453H898H341 3Judah has gone into exile [to escape] from the affliction and laborious servitude [of the homeland]. She dwells among the [heathen] nations, but she finds no rest; all her persecutors overtook her amid the [dire] straits [of her distress].H3063H1540H6040H7230H5656H3427H1471H4672H4494H7291H5381H4712 4The roads to Zion mourn, because no one comes to the solemn assembly {or} the appointed feasts. All her gates are desolate, her priests sigh {and} groan, her maidens are grieved {and} vexed, and she herself is in bitterness.H1870H6726H57H935H4150H8179H8074H3548H584H1330H3013H4843 5Her adversaries have become the head; her enemies prosper. For the Lord has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions; her young children have gone into captivity before the enemy.H6862H7218H341H7951H3068H3013H7230H6588H5768H1980H7628H6440H6862 6From the Daughter of Zion all her beauty {and} majesty have departed. Her princes have become like harts that find no pasture; they have fled without strength before the pursuer.H1323H6726H1926H3318H8269H354H4672H4829H3212H3581H6440H7291 7Jerusalem [earnestly] remembers in the days of her affliction, in the days of her [compulsory] wanderings {and} her bitterness, all the pleasant {and} precious things that she had from the days of old. When her people fell into {and} at the hands of the adversary, and there was none to help her, the enemy [gloated as they] looked at her, and they mocked at her desolations {and} downfall.H3389H2142H3117H6040H4788H4262H3117H6924H5971H5307H3027H6862H5826H6862H7200H7832H4868 8Jerusalem has grievously sinned; therefore she has become an unclean thing {and} has been removed. All who honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness; yes, she herself groans {and} sighs and turns [her face] away.H3389H2399H2398H5206H3513H2107H7200H6172H584H7725H268 9Her filthiness was in {and} on her skirts; she did not [seriously and earnestly] consider her final end. Therefore she has come down [from throne to slavery] singularly {and} astonishingly; she has no comforter. O Lord [cries Jerusalem], look at my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself [in triumph]!H2932H7757H2142H319H3381H6382H5162H3068H7200H6040H341H1431 10The adversary has spread out his hand upon all her precious {and} desirable things; for she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary [of the temple]--when You commanded that they should not even enter Your congregation [in the outer courts].H6862H6566H3027H4261H7200H1471H935H4720H6680H935H6951 11All her people groan {and} sigh, seeking for bread; they have given their desirable {and} precious things [in exchange] for food to revive their strength {and} bring back life. See, O Lord, and consider how wretched {and} lightly esteemed, how vile {and} abominable, I have become!H5971H584H1245H3899H5414H4261H4262H400H7725H5315H7200H3068H5027H2151 12Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow which was dealt out to me, with which the Lord has afflicted me in the day of His fierce anger!H5674H1870H5027H7200H3426H4341H4341H5953H3068H3013H3117H2740H639 13From above He has sent fire into my bones, and it prevailed against them. He has spread a net for my feet; He has turned me back. He has made me hopelessly miserable and faint all the day long.H4791H7971H784H6106H7287H6566H7568H7272H7725H268H5414H8074H1739H3117 14The yoke of my transgressions is bound by His hand; they were twined together; they were set upon my neck. He has made my strength fail {and} [me to] stumble; the Lord has delivered me into the hands of those I am unable to resist {or} withstand.H5923H6588H8244H3027H8276H5927H6677H3581H3782H136H5414H3027H3201H6965 15The Lord has made of no account all my [Jerusalem's] mighty men in the midst of me; He has proclaimed a set time against me to crush my young men. The Lord has trodden as in a winepress the Virgin Daughter of Judah.H136H5541H47H7130H7121H4150H7665H970H136H1869H1330H1323H3063H1660 16For these things I weep; my eyes overflow with tears, because a comforter, one who could refresh {and} restore my soul, is far from me. My children are desolate {and} perishing, for the enemy has prevailed.H1058H5869H5869H3381H4325H5162H7725H5315H7368H1121H8074H341H1396 17Zion stretches forth her hands, but there is no comforter for her. The Lord has commanded concerning {and} against Jacob that his neighbors should be his adversaries; Jerusalem has become a filthy thing among them [an object of contempt].H6726H6566H3027H5162H3068H6680H3290H6862H5439H3389H5079 18The Lord is righteous (just and in the right); for I have rebelled against His commandment (His word). Hear, I pray you, all you peoples, and look at my sorrow {and} suffering; my maidens and my young men have gone into captivity.H3068H6662H4784H6310H8085H5971H7200H4341H1330H970H1980H7628 19I [Jerusalem] called to my lovers [allies], but they deceived me. My priests and my elders expired in the city while they sought food to save their lives.H7121H157H7411H3548H2205H1478H5892H1245H400H7725H5315 20Behold, O Lord, how distressed I am! My vital parts (emotions) are in tumult {and} are deeply disturbed; my heart cannot rest {and} is violently agitated within me, for I have grievously rebelled. Outside the house the sword bereaves, at home there is [famine, pestilence] death!H7200H3068H6887H4578H2560H3820H2015H7130H4784H4784H2351H2719H7921H1004H4194 21[My foes] have heard that I [Jerusalem] sigh {and} groan, that I have no comforter [in You]. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad [O Lord] that You have done it. You will bring the day [of Judah's punishment] that you have foretold {and} proclaimed; [it involves also my foes' punishment] and they will become like me.H8085H584H5162H341H8085H7451H7797H6213H935H3117H7121H3644 22Let all their wickedness come before You; and deal with them as You have dealt with me because of all my transgressions; for my sighs {and} groans are many and my heart is faint.H7451H935H6440H5953H5953H6588H585H7227H3820H1742
