Lamentations 1
King James Version Help
1How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!H5892H3427H910H7227H5971H490H7227H1471H8282H4082H4522
2She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.H1058H1058H3915H1832H3895H157H5162H7453H898H341
3Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.H3063H1540H6040H7230H5656H3427H1471H4672H4494H7291H5381H4712
4The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.H1870H6726H57H935H4150H8179H8074H3548H584H1330H3013H4843
5Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.H6862H7218H341H7951H3068H3013H7230H6588H5768H1980H7628H6440H6862
6And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.H1323H6726H1926H3318H8269H354H4672H4829H3212H3581H6440H7291
7Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.H3389H2142H3117H6040H4788H4262H3117H6924H5971H5307H3027H6862H5826H6862H7200H7832H4868
8Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.H3389H2399H2398H5206H3513H2107H7200H6172H584H7725H268
9Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself.H2932H7757H2142H319H3381H6382H5162H3068H7200H6040H341H1431
10The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.H6862H6566H3027H4261H7200H1471H935H4720H6680H935H6951
11All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider; for I am become vile.H5971H584H1245H3899H5414H4261H4262H400H7725H5315H7200H3068H5027H2151
12Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.H5674H1870H5027H7200H3426H4341H4341H5953H3068H3013H3117H2740H639
13From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.H4791H7971H784H6106H7287H6566H7568H7272H7725H268H5414H8074H1739H3117
14The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the LORD hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.H5923H6588H8244H3027H8276H5927H6677H3581H3782H136H5414H3027H3201H6965
15The LORD hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the LORD hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.H136H5541H47H7130H7121H4150H7665H970H136H1869H1330H1323H3063H1660
16For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.H1058H5869H5869H3381H4325H5162H7725H5315H7368H1121H8074H341H1396
17Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.H6726H6566H3027H5162H3068H6680H3290H6862H5439H3389H5079
18The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.H3068H6662H4784H6310H8085H5971H7200H4341H1330H970H1980H7628
19I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.H7121H157H7411H3548H2205H1478H5892H1245H400H7725H5315
20Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death.H7200H3068H6887H4578H2560H3820H2015H7130H4784H4784H2351H2719H7921H1004H4194
21They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me.H8085H584H5162H341H8085H7451H7797H6213H935H3117H7121H3644
22Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.H7451H935H6440H5953H5953H6588H585H7227H3820H1742
