Lament over Jerusalem

1How she sits alone, the city [once] crowded with people! She who was great among the nations has become like a widow. The princess among the provinces has become a slave.H5892H3427H910H7227H5971H490H7227H1471H8282H4082H4522
2She weeps aloud during the night, with tears on her cheeks. There is no one to offer her comfort, [not one] from all her lovers. All her friends have betrayed her; they have become her enemies.H1058H1058H3915H1832H3895H157H5162H7453H898H341
3Judah has gone into exile following affliction and harsh slavery; she lives among the nations but finds no place to rest. All her pursuers have overtaken her in narrow places.H3063H1540H6040H7230H5656H3427H1471H4672H4494H7291H5381H4712
4The roads to Zion mourn, for no one comes to the appointed festivals. All her gates are deserted; her priests groan, her young women grieve, and she herself is bitter.H1870H6726H57H935H4150H8179H8074H3548H584H1330H3013H4843
5Her adversaries have become [her] masters; her enemies are at ease, for the LORD has made her suffer because of her many transgressions. Her children have gone away as captives before the adversary.H6862H7218H341H7951H3068H3013H7230H6588H5768H1980H7628H6440H6862
6All her splendor has vanished from Daughter Zion. Her leaders are like stags that find no pasture; they walk away exhausted before the hunter.H1323H6726H1926H3318H8269H354H4672H4829H3212H3581H6440H7291
7During the days of her affliction and homelessness Jerusalem remembers all her precious belongings that were [hers] in days of old. When her people fell into the adversary's hand, she had no one to help. The adversaries looked at her, laughing over her downfall.H3389H2142H3117H6040H4788H4262H3117H6924H5971H5307H3027H6862H5826H6862H7200H7832H4868
8Jerusalem has sinned grievously; therefore, she has become an object of scorn. All who honored her [now] despise her, for they have seen her nakedness. She herself groans and turns away.H3389H2399H2398H5206H3513H2107H7200H6172H584H7725H268
9Her uncleanness [stains] her skirts. She never considered her end. Her downfall was astonishing; there was no one to comfort her. LORD, look on my affliction, for the enemy triumphs!H2932H7757H2142H319H3381H6382H5162H3068H7200H6040H341H1431
10The adversary has seized all her precious belongings. She has even seen the nations enter her sanctuary— those You had forbidden to enter Your assembly.H6862H6566H3027H4261H7200H1471H935H4720H6680H935H6951
11All her people groan while they search for bread. They have traded their precious belongings for food in order to stay alive. LORD, look and see how I have become despised.H5971H584H1245H3899H5414H4261H4262H400H7725H5315H7200H3068H5027H2151
12Is this nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look and see! Is there any pain like mine, which was dealt out to me, which the LORD made [me] suffer on the day of His burning anger?H5674H1870H5027H7200H3426H4341H4341H5953H3068H3013H3117H2740H639
13He sent fire from on high into my bones; He made it descend. He spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He made me desolate, sick all day long.H4791H7971H784H6106H7287H6566H7568H7272H7725H268H5414H8074H1739H3117
14My transgressions have been formed into a yoke, fastened together by His hand; they have been placed on my neck, and the Lord has broken my strength. He has handed me over to those I cannot withstand.H5923H6588H8244H3027H8276H5927H6677H3581H3782H136H5414H3027H3201H6965
15The Lord has rejected all the mighty men within me. He has summoned an army against me to crush my young warriors. The Lord has trampled Virgin Daughter Judah [like grapes] in a winepress.H136H5541H47H7130H7121H4150H7665H970H136H1869H1330H1323H3063H1660
16I weep because of these things; my eyes flow with tears. For there is no one nearby to comfort [me], no one to keep me alive. My children are desolate because the enemy has prevailed.H1058H5869H5869H3381H4325H5162H7725H5315H7368H1121H8074H341H1396
17Zion stretches out her hands; there is no one to comfort her. The LORD has issued a decree against Jacob that his neighbors should be his adversaries. Jerusalem has become something impure among them.H6726H6566H3027H5162H3068H6680H3290H6862H5439H3389H5079
18The LORD is in the right, for I have rebelled against His command. Listen, all you people; look at my pain. My young men and women have gone into captivity.H3068H6662H4784H6310H8085H5971H7200H4341H1330H970H1980H7628
19I called to my lovers, but they betrayed me. My priests and elders perished in the city while searching for food to keep themselves alive.H7121H157H7411H3548H2205H1478H5892H1245H400H7725H5315
20LORD, see how I am in distress. I am churning within; my heart is broken, for I have been very rebellious. Outside, the sword takes the children; inside, there is death.H7200H3068H6887H4578H2560H3820H2015H7130H4784H4784H2351H2719H7921H1004H4194
21People have heard me groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my misfortune; they are glad that You have caused [it]. Bring on the day You have announced, so that they may 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 groans are many, and I am sick at heart.H7451H935H6440H5953H5953H6588H585H7227H3820H1742
