Dual Panel1How doth the city <05892> sit <03427> (8804) solitary <0910>_, [that was] full <07227> of people <05971>_! [how] is she become as a widow <0490>_! she [that was] great <07227> among the nations <01471>_, [and] princess <08282> among the provinces <04082>_, [how] is she become tributary <04522>_!
2She weepeth <01058> (8799) sore <01058> (8800) in the night <03915>_, and her tears <01832> [are] on her cheeks <03895>_: among all her lovers <0157> (8802) she hath none to comfort <05162> (8764) [her]: all her friends <07453> have dealt treacherously <0898> (8804) with her, they are become her enemies <0341> (8802)_.
3Judah <03063> is gone into captivity <01540> (8804) because of affliction <06040>_, and because of great <07230> servitude <05656>_: she dwelleth <03427> (8804) among the heathen <01471>_, she findeth <04672> (8804) no rest <04494>_: all her persecutors <07291> (8802) overtook <05381> (8689) her between the straits <04712>_. {because of great...: Heb. for the greatness of servitude}
4The ways <01870> of Zion <06726> do mourn <057>_, because none come <0935> (8802) to the solemn feasts <04150>_: all her gates <08179> are desolate <08074> (8802)_: her priests <03548> sigh <0584> (8737)_, her virgins <01330> are afflicted <03013> (8737)_, and she [is] in bitterness <04843> (8804)_.
5Her adversaries <06862> are the chief <07218>_, her enemies <0341> (8802) prosper <07951> (8804)_; for the LORD <03068> hath afflicted <03013> (8689) her for the multitude <07230> of her transgressions <06588>_: her children <05768> are gone <01980> (8804) into captivity <07628> before <06440> the enemy <06862>_.
6And from the daughter <01323> of Zion <06726> all her beauty <01926> is departed <03318> (8799)_: her princes <08269> are become like harts <0354> [that] find <04672> (8804) no pasture <04829>_, and they are gone <03212> (8799) without strength <03581> before <06440> the pursuer <07291> (8802)_.
7Jerusalem <03389> remembered <02142> (8804) in the days <03117> of her affliction <06040> and of her miseries <04788> all her pleasant things <04262> that she had in the days <03117> of old <06924>_, when her people <05971> fell <05307> (8800) into the hand <03027> of the enemy <06862>_, and none did help <05826> (8802) her: the adversaries <06862> saw <07200> (8804) her, [and] did mock <07832> (8804) at her sabbaths <04868>_. {pleasant: or, desirable}
8Jerusalem <03389> hath grievously <02399> sinned <02398> (8804)_; therefore she is removed <05206>_: all that honoured <03513> (8764) her despise <02107> (8689) her, because they have seen <07200> (8804) her nakedness <06172>_: yea, she sigheth <0584> (8738)_, and turneth <07725> (8799) backward <0268>_. {is...: Heb. is become a removing, or, wandering}
9Her filthiness <02932> [is] in her skirts <07757>_; she remembereth <02142> (8804) not her last end <0319>_; therefore she came down <03381> (8799) wonderfully <06382>_: she had no comforter <05162> (8764)_. O LORD <03068>_, behold <07200> (8798) my affliction <06040>_: for the enemy <0341> (8802) hath magnified <01431> (8689) [himself].
10The adversary <06862> hath spread out <06566> (8804) his hand <03027> upon all her pleasant things <04261>_: for she hath seen <07200> (8804) [that] the heathen <01471> entered <0935> (8804) into her sanctuary <04720>_, whom thou didst command <06680> (8765) [that] they should not enter <0935> (8799) into thy congregation <06951>_. {pleasant: or, desirable}
11All her people <05971> sigh <0584> (8737)_, they seek <01245> (8764) bread <03899>_; they have given <05414> (8804) their pleasant things <04261> (8675) <04262> for meat <0400> to relieve <07725> (8687) the soul <05315>_: see <07200> (8798)_, O LORD <03068>_, and consider <05027> (8685)_; for I am become vile <02151> (8802)_. {to...: or, to make the soul to come again}
12[Is it] nothing to you, all ye that pass <05674> (8802) by <01870>_? behold <05027> (8685)_, and see <07200> (8798) if there be <03426> any sorrow <04341> like unto my sorrow <04341>_, which is done <05953> (8776) unto me, wherewith the LORD <03068> hath afflicted <03013> (8689) [me] in the day <03117> of his fierce <02740> anger <0639>_. {Is it...: or, It is nothing} {pass by: Heb. pass by the way?}
13From above <04791> hath he sent <07971> (8804) fire <0784> into my bones <06106>_, and it prevaileth <07287> (8799) against them: he hath spread <06566> (8804) a net <07568> for my feet <07272>_, he hath turned <07725> (8689) me back <0268>_: he hath made <05414> (8804) me desolate <08074> (8802) [and] faint <01739> all the day <03117>_.
14The yoke <05923> of my transgressions <06588> is bound <08244> (8738) by his hand <03027>_: they are wreathed <08276> (8691)_, [and] come up <05927> (8804) upon my neck <06677>_: he hath made my strength <03581> to fall <03782> (8689)_, the Lord <0136> hath delivered <05414> (8804) me into [their] hands <03027>_, [from whom] I am not able <03201> (8799) to rise up <06965> (8800)_.
15The Lord <0136> hath trodden under foot <05541> (8765) all my mighty <047> [men] in the midst <07130> of me: he hath called <07121> (8804) an assembly <04150> against me to crush <07665> (8800) my young men <0970>_: the Lord <0136> hath trodden <01869> (8804) the virgin <01330>_, the daughter <01323> of Judah <03063>_, [as] in a winepress <01660>_. {the virgin...: or, the winepress of the virgin, etc}
16For these [things] I weep <01058> (8802)_; mine eye <05869>_, mine eye <05869> runneth down <03381> (8802) with water <04325>_, because the comforter <05162> (8764) that should relieve <07725> (8688) my soul <05315> is far <07368> (8804) from me: my children <01121> are desolate <08074> (8802)_, because the enemy <0341> (8802) prevailed <01396> (8804)_. {relieve: Heb. bring back}
17Zion <06726> spreadeth forth <06566> (8765) her hands <03027>_, [and there is] none to comfort <05162> (8764) her: the LORD <03068> hath commanded <06680> (8765) concerning Jacob <03290>_, [that] his adversaries <06862> [should be] round about <05439> him: Jerusalem <03389> is as a menstruous woman <05079> among them.
18The LORD <03068> is righteous <06662>_; for I have rebelled <04784> (8804) against his commandment <06310>_: hear <08085> (8798)_, I pray you, all people <05971>_, and behold <07200> (8798) my sorrow <04341>_: my virgins <01330> and my young men <0970> are gone <01980> (8804) into captivity <07628>_. {commandment: Heb. mouth}
19I called <07121> (8804) for my lovers <0157> (8764)_, [but] they deceived <07411> (8765) me: my priests <03548> and mine elders <02205> gave up the ghost <01478> (8804) in the city <05892>_, while they sought <01245> (8765) their meat <0400> to relieve <07725> (8686) their souls <05315>_.
20Behold <07200> (8798)_, O LORD <03068>_; for I [am] in distress <06887> (8804)_: my bowels <04578> are troubled <02560> (8777)_; mine heart <03820> is turned <02015> (8738) within <07130> me; for I have grievously <04784> (8800) rebelled <04784> (8804)_: abroad <02351> the sword <02719> bereaveth <07921> (8765)_, at home <01004> [there is] as death <04194>_.
21They have heard <08085> (8804) that I sigh <0584> (8737)_: [there is] none to comfort <05162> (8764) me: all mine enemies <0341> (8802) have heard <08085> (8804) of my trouble <07451>_; they are glad <07797> (8804) that thou hast done <06213> (8804) [it]: thou wilt bring <0935> (8689) the day <03117> [that] thou hast called <07121> (8804)_, and they shall be like <03644> unto me. {called: or, proclaimed}
22Let all their wickedness <07451> come <0935> (8799) before <06440> thee; and do <05953> (8778) unto them, as thou hast done <05953> (8782) unto me for all my transgressions <06588>_: for my sighs <0585> [are] many <07227>_, and my heart <03820> [is] faint <01742>_.
