1. How alone sits the city that was full of people! She has become like a widow, once great among the nations; a noblewoman among the provinces has become a payer of tribute.
|
1. How H349 doth the city H5892 sit H3427 solitary H910 , that was full H7227 of people H5971 ! how is she become H1961 as a widow H490 ! she that was great H7227 among the nations H1471 , and princess H8282 among the provinces H4082 , how is she become H1961 tributary H4522 !
|
|
2. She bitterly weeps in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks. She has no comforter among all her lovers. All her friends dealt deceitfully with her; they became enemies to her.
|
2. She weepeth sore H1058 H1058 in the night H3915 , and her tears H1832 are on H5921 her cheeks H3895 : among all H4480 H3605 her lovers H157 she hath none H369 to comfort H5162 her : all H3605 her friends H7453 have dealt treacherously H898 with her , they are become H1961 her enemies H341 .
|
|
3. Judah went captive from affliction, and from great slavery. She dwells among the nations; she finds no rest. All her pursuers have overtaken her between the straits.
|
3. Judah H3063 is gone into captivity H1540 because of affliction H4480 H6040 , and because of great H4480 H7230 servitude H5656 : she H1931 dwelleth H3427 among the heathen H1471 , she findeth H4672 no H3808 rest H4494 : all H3605 her persecutors H7291 overtook H5381 her between H996 the straits H4712 .
|
|
4. The roads of Zion are in mourning without any going to the appointed feasts. All her gates are deserted; her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted; and she is in bitterness.
|
4. The ways H1870 of Zion H6726 do mourn H57 , because none H4480 H1097 come H935 to the solemn feasts H4150 : all H3605 her gates H8179 are desolate H8074 : her priests H3548 sigh H584 , her virgins H1330 are afflicted H3013 , and she H1931 is in bitterness H4843 .
|
|
5. Her foes have become as chief; her enemies are at ease. For Jehovah has afflicted her for the multitude of her trespasses. Her children have gone, captive before the foe.
|
5. Her adversaries H6862 are H1961 the chief H7218 , her enemies H341 prosper H7951 ; for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath afflicted H3013 her for H5921 the multitude H7230 of her transgressions H6588 : her children H5768 are gone H1980 into captivity H7628 before H6440 the enemy H6862 .
|
|
6. And from the daughter of Zion all her splendor has departed. Her rulers have become like bucks; they find no pasture; and they have gone without strength before the pursuer.
|
6. And from H4480 the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 all H3605 her beauty H1926 is departed H3318 : her princes H8269 are become H1961 like harts H354 that find H4672 no H3808 pasture H4829 , and they are gone H1980 without H3808 strength H3581 before H6440 the pursuer H7291 .
|
|
7. In the days of her affliction and her wandering, Jerusalem remembers all her desirable things from previous days, when her people fell into the hand of the foe; and there is no ally for her. The foes saw her; they laughed at her annihilations.
|
7. Jerusalem H3389 remembered H2142 in the days H3117 of her affliction H6040 and of her miseries H4788 all H3605 her pleasant things H4262 that H834 she had H1961 in the days H4480 H3117 of old H6924 , when her people H5971 fell H5307 into the hand H3027 of the enemy H6862 , and none H369 did help H5826 her : the adversaries H6862 saw H7200 her, and did mock H7832 at H5921 her sabbaths H4868 .
|
|
8. Jerusalem has grievously sinned; on account of this, she has been removed. All the ones knowing her despise her, for they saw her nakedness. Also, she groans and turns backward.
|
8. Jerusalem H3389 hath grievously sinned H2398 H2399 ; therefore H5921 H3651 she is H1961 removed H5206 : all H3605 that honored H3513 her despise H2151 her, because H3588 they have seen H7200 her nakedness H6172 : yea H1571 , she H1931 sigheth H584 , and turneth H7725 backward H268 .
|
|
9. Her uncleanness is in her skirts. She did not remember her end and has gone down astoundingly. She had no comforter. O Jehovah, behold my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself.
|
9. Her filthiness H2932 is in her skirts H7757 ; she remembereth H2142 not H3808 her last end H319 ; therefore she came down H3381 wonderfully H6382 : she had no H369 comforter H5162 . O LORD H3068 , behold H7200 H853 my affliction H6040 : for H3588 the enemy H341 hath magnified H1431 himself .
|
|
10. The enemy has spread out his hand on all her desirable things. Indeed, she has seen the nations enter into her holy place, whom You commanded that they not enter into Your congregation.
|
10. The adversary H6862 hath spread out H6566 his hand H3027 upon H5921 all H3605 her pleasant things H4261 : for H3588 she hath seen H7200 that the heathen H1471 entered H935 into her sanctuary H4720 , whom H834 thou didst command H6680 that they should not H3808 enter H935 into thy congregation H6951 .
|
|
11. All her people sigh from seeking bread. They gave their desirable things for food to revive the soul. See, O Jehovah, and look on me, for I have become vile.
|
11. All H3605 her people H5971 sigh H584 , they seek H1245 bread H3899 ; they have given H5414 their pleasant things H4262 for meat H400 to relieve H7725 the soul H5315 : see H7200 , O LORD H3068 , and consider H5027 ; for H3588 I am become H1961 vile H2151 .
|
|
12. Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Behold, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow which is done to me, with which Jehovah has afflicted me in the day of His burning anger.
|
12. Is it nothing H3808 to H413 you, all H3605 ye that pass by H5674 H1870 ? behold H5027 , and see H7200 if H518 there be H3426 any sorrow H4341 like unto my sorrow H4341 , which H834 is done H5953 unto me, wherewith H834 the LORD H3068 hath afflicted H3013 me in the day H3117 of his fierce H2740 anger H639 .
|
|
13. From on high He has sent fire into my bones and subdued them. He spread a net for my feet; He has turned me back; He gave me desolation. All the days I faint.
|
13. From above H4480 H4791 hath he sent H7971 fire H784 into my bones H6106 , and it prevaileth against H7287 them : he hath spread H6566 a net H7568 for my feet H7272 , he hath turned H7725 me back H268 : he hath made H5414 me desolate H8074 and faint H1739 all H3605 the day H3117 .
|
|
14. The yoke of my transgressions is bound by His hand, they intertwine, they rise on my neck. He caused my strength to falter. The Lord gave me into their hands. I am not able to rise up.
|
14. The yoke H5923 of my transgressions H6588 is bound H8244 by his hand H3027 : they are wreathed H8276 , and come up H5927 upon H5921 my neck H6677 : he hath made my strength H3581 to fall H3782 , the Lord H136 hath delivered H5414 me into their hands H3027 , from whom I am not able H3201 H3808 to rise up H6965 .
|
|
15. The Lord has trampled all my mighty ones in my midst. He called a gathering against me to crush my young men. As a winepress, the Lord trod the virgin daughter of Judah.
|
15. The Lord H136 hath trodden under foot H5541 all H3605 my mighty H47 men in the midst H7130 of me : he hath called H7121 an assembly H4150 against H5921 me to crush H7665 my young men H970 : the Lord H136 hath trodden H1869 the virgin H1330 , the daughter H1323 of Judah H3063 , as in a winepress H1660 .
|
|
16. I weep for these; my eye, my eye runs down with water, because a comforter who could be reviving my soul is far from me. My sons are desolated because the enemy prevails.
|
16. For H5921 these H428 things I H589 weep H1058 ; mine eye H5869 , mine eye H5869 runneth down H3381 with water H4325 , because H3588 the comforter H5162 that should relieve H7725 my soul H5315 is far H7368 from H4480 me : my children H1121 are H1961 desolate H8074 , because H3588 the enemy H341 prevailed H1396 .
|
|
17. Zion spreads forth her hands; there is not one comforting to her; Jehovah has commanded concerning Jacob that his enemies should be all around him. Jerusalem has become as an impure thing among them.
|
17. Zion H6726 spreadeth forth H6566 her hands H3027 , and there is none H369 to comfort H5162 her : the LORD H3068 hath commanded H6680 concerning Jacob H3290 , that his adversaries H6862 should be round about H5439 him: Jerusalem H3389 is H1961 as a menstruous woman H5079 among H996 them.
|
|
18. Jehovah is righteous, for I rebelled against His mouth. I beseech you, all peoples, hear and see my sorrow. My virgins and my young men went into exile.
|
18. The LORD H3068 is righteous H6662 ; for H3588 I have rebelled H4784 against his commandment H6310 : hear H8085 , I pray you H4994 , all H3605 people H5971 , and behold H7200 my sorrow H4341 : my virgins H1330 and my young men H970 are gone H1980 into captivity H7628 .
|
|
19. I called for my lovers; they deceived me. My priests and my elders expired in the city, while they sought food for them to bring back their life.
|
19. I called H7121 for my lovers H157 , but they H1992 deceived H7411 me : my priests H3548 and mine elders H2205 gave up the ghost H1478 in the city H5892 , while H3588 they sought H1245 their meat H400 to relieve H7725 H853 their souls H5315 .
|
|
20. Behold, O Jehovah, for I am distressed. My inward parts ferment; my heart is overturned within me; for I have grievously rebelled. On the outside the sword bereaves; in the house it is as death.
|
20. Behold H7200 , O LORD H3068 ; for H3588 I am in distress H6862 : my bowels H4578 are troubled H2560 ; mine heart H3820 is turned H2015 within H7130 me; for H3588 I have grievously rebelled H4784 H4784 : abroad H4480 H2351 the sword H2719 bereaveth H7921 , at home H1004 there is as death H4194 .
|
|
21. They hear that I sigh; there is no comforter to me. All my enemies have heard my evil; they rejoice that You have done it. You will bring the day that You have called, and they shall be like me.
|
21. They have heard H8085 that H3588 I H589 sigh H584 : there is none H369 to comfort H5162 me: all H3605 mine enemies H341 have heard H8085 of my trouble H7451 ; they are glad H7797 that H3588 thou H859 hast done H6213 it : thou wilt bring H935 the day H3117 that thou hast called H7121 , and they shall be H1961 like unto me H3644 .
|
|
22. Let all their evil 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.
|
22. Let all H3605 their wickedness H7451 come H935 before H6440 thee ; and do H5953 unto them, as H834 thou hast done H5953 unto me for H5921 all H3605 my transgressions H6588 : for H3588 my sighs H585 are many H7227 , and my heart H3820 is faint H1742 .
