Jerusalem in Affliction

1How lonely sits the city That was full of people! How like a widow is she, Who was great among the nations! The princess among the provinces Has become a slave!H5892H3427H910H7227H5971H490H7227H1471H8282H4082H4522 2She weeps bitterly in the night, Her tears are on her cheeks; Among all her lovers She has none to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; They have become her enemies.H1058H1058H3915H1832H3895H157H5162H7453H898H341 3Judah has gone into captivity, Under affliction and hard servitude; She dwells among the nations, She finds no rest; All her persecutors overtake her in dire straits.H3063H1540H6040H7230H5656H3427H1471H4672H4494H7291H5381H4712 4The roads to Zion mourn Because no one comes to the set feasts. All her gates are desolate; Her priests sigh, Her virgins are afflicted, And she is in bitterness.H1870H6726H57H935H4150H8179H8074H3548H584H1330H3013H4843 5Her adversaries have become the master, Her enemies prosper; For the LORD has afflicted her Because of the multitude of her transgressions. Her children have gone into captivity before the enemy.H6862H7218H341H7951H3068H3013H7230H6588H5768H1980H7628H6440H6862 6And from the daughter of Zion All her splendor has departed. Her princes have become like deer That find no pasture, That flee without strength Before the pursuer.H1323H6726H1926H3318H8269H354H4672H4829H3212H3581H6440H7291 7In the days of her affliction and roaming, Jerusalem remembers all her pleasant things That she had in the days of old. When her people fell into the hand of the enemy, With no one to help her, The adversaries saw her And mocked at her downfall.H3389H2142H3117H6040H4788H4262H3117H6924H5971H5307H3027H6862H5826H6862H7200H7832H4868 8Jerusalem has sinned gravely, Therefore she has become vile. All who honored her despise her Because they have seen her nakedness; Yes, she sighs and turns away.H3389H2399H2398H5206H3513H2107H7200H6172H584H7725H268 9Her uncleanness is in her skirts; She did not consider her destiny; Therefore her collapse was awesome; She had no comforter. "O LORD, behold my affliction, For the enemy is exalted!"H2932H7757H2142H319H3381H6382H5162H3068H7200H6040H341H1431 10The adversary has spread his hand Over all her pleasant things; For she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary, Those whom You commanded Not to enter Your assembly.H6862H6566H3027H4261H7200H1471H935H4720H6680H935H6951 11All her people sigh, They seek bread; They have given their valuables for food to restore life. "See, O LORD, and consider, For I am scorned."H5971H584H1245H3899H5414H4261H4262H400H7725H5315H7200H3068H5027H2151 12"Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Behold and see If there is any sorrow like my sorrow, Which has been brought on me, Which the LORD has inflicted In the day of His fierce anger.H5674H1870H5027H7200H3426H4341H4341H5953H3068H3013H3117H2740H639 13"From above He has sent fire into my bones, And it overpowered them; He has spread a net for my feet And turned me back; He has made me desolate And faint all the day.H4791H7971H784H6106H7287H6566H7568H7272H7725H268H5414H8074H1739H3117 14"The yoke of my transgressions was bound; They were woven together by His hands, And thrust upon my neck. He made my strength fail; The Lord delivered me into the hands of those whom I am not able to withstand.H5923H6588H8244H3027H8276H5927H6677H3581H3782H136H5414H3027H3201H6965 15"The Lord has trampled underfoot all my mighty men in my midst; He has called an assembly against me To crush my young men; The Lord trampled as in a winepress The virgin daughter of Judah.H136H5541H47H7130H7121H4150H7665H970H136H1869H1330H1323H3063H1660 16"For these things I weep; My eye, my eye overflows with water; Because the comforter, who should restore my life, Is far from me. My children are desolate Because the enemy prevailed."H1058H5869H5869H3381H4325H5162H7725H5315H7368H1121H8074H341H1396 17Zion spreads out her hands, But no one comforts her; The LORD has commanded concerning Jacob That those around him become his adversaries; Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.H6726H6566H3027H5162H3068H6680H3290H6862H5439H3389H5079 18"The LORD is righteous, For I rebelled against His commandment. Hear now, all peoples, And behold my sorrow; My virgins and my young men Have gone into captivity.H3068H6662H4784H6310H8085H5971H7200H4341H1330H970H1980H7628 19"I called for my lovers, But they deceived me; My priests and my elders Breathed their last in the city, While they sought food To restore their life.H7121H157H7411H3548H2205H1478H5892H1245H400H7725H5315 20"See, O LORD, that I am in distress; My soul is troubled; My heart is overturned within me, For I have been very rebellious. Outside the sword bereaves, At home it is like death.H7200H3068H6887H4578H2560H3820H2015H7130H4784H4784H2351H2719H7921H1004H4194 21"They have heard that I sigh, But no one comforts me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; They are glad that You have done it. Bring on the day You have announced, That they may become like me.H8085H584H5162H341H8085H7451H7797H6213H935H3117H7121H3644 22"Let all their wickedness come before You, And do to them as You have done to me For all my transgressions; For my sighs are many, And my heart is faint."H7451H935H6440H5953H5953H6588H585H7227H3820H1742
