2 Kings 6:25-29

6:25

And there was a great
<01419>

famine
<07458>

in Samaria
<08111>_:

and, behold, they besieged
<06696> (8802)

it, until an ass's
<02543>

head
<07218>

was [sold] for fourscore
<08084>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_,

and the fourth part
<07255>

of a cab
<06894>

of dove's dung
<01686> (8675) <03123> <02755>

for five
<02568>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_.

6:26

And as the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

was passing by
<05674> (8802)

upon the wall
<02346>_,

there cried
<06817> (8804)

a woman
<0802>

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Help
<03467> (8685)_,

my lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_.

6:27

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

If the LORD
<03068>

do not help
<03467> (8686)

thee, whence
<0370>

shall I help
<03467> (8686)

thee? out of the barnfloor
<01637>_,

or out of the winepress
<03342>_?

{If...: or, Let not the LORD save thee}

6:28

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered
<0559> (8799)_,

This woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto me, Give
<05414> (8798)

thy son
<01121>_,

that we may eat
<0398> (8799)

him to day
<03117>_,

and we will eat
<0398> (8799)

my son
<01121>

to morrow
<04279>_.

6:29

So we boiled
<01310> (8762)

my son
<01121>_,

and did eat
<0398> (8799)

him: and I said
<0559> (8799)

unto her on the next
<0312>

day
<03117>_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

thy son
<01121>_,

that we may eat
<0398> (8799)

him: and she hath hid
<02244> (8686)

her son
<01121>_.

{next: Heb. other}

Jeremiah 14:1-6

14:1

The word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

that came to Jeremiah
<03414>

concerning
<01697>

the dearth
<01226>_.

{the dearth: Heb. the words of the dearths, or, restraints}

14:2

Judah
<03063>

mourneth
<056> (8804)_,

and the gates
<08179>

thereof languish
<0535> (8797)_;

they are black
<06937> (8804)

unto the ground
<0776>_;

and the cry
<06682>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

is gone up
<05927> (8804)_.

14:3

And their nobles
<0117>

have sent
<07971> (8804)

their little ones
<06810>

to the waters
<04325>_:

they came
<0935> (8804)

to the pits
<01356> (8676) <01360>_,

[and] found
<04672> (8804)

no water
<04325>_;

they returned
<07725> (8804)

with their vessels
<03627>

empty
<07387>_;

they were ashamed
<0954> (8804)

and confounded
<03637> (8717)_,

and covered
<02645> (8804)

their heads
<07218>_.

14:4

Because the ground
<0127>

is chapt
<02865> (8804)_,

for there was no rain
<01653>

in the earth
<0776>_,

the plowmen
<0406>

were ashamed
<0954> (8804)_,

they covered
<02645> (8804)

their heads
<07218>_.

14:5

Yea, the hind
<0365>

also calved
<03205> (8804)

in the field
<07704>_,

and forsook
<05800> (8800)

[it], because there was no grass
<01877>_.

14:6

And the wild asses
<06501>

did stand
<05975> (8804)

in the high places
<08205>_,

they snuffed up
<07602> (8804)

the wind
<07307>

like dragons
<08577>_;

their eyes
<05869>

did fail
<03615> (8804)_,

because [there was] no grass
<06212>_.

Lamentations 4:3-10

4:3

Even the sea monsters
<08577>

draw out
<02502> (8804)

the breast
<07699>_,

they give suck
<03243> (8689)

to their young ones
<01482>_:

the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>

[is become] cruel
<0393>_,

like the ostriches
<03283>

in the wilderness
<04057>_.

{sea...: or, sea calves}

4:4

The tongue
<03956>

of the sucking child
<03243> (8802)

cleaveth
<01692> (8804)

to the roof of his mouth
<02441>

for thirst
<06772>_:

the young children
<05768>

ask
<07592> (8804)

bread
<03899>_,

[and] no man breaketh
<06566> (8802)

[it] unto them.

4:5

They that did feed
<0398> (8802)

delicately
<04574>

are desolate
<08074> (8738)

in the streets
<02351>_:

they that were brought up
<0539> (8803)

in scarlet
<08438>

embrace
<02263> (8765)

dunghills
<0830>_.

4:6

For the punishment of the iniquity
<05771>

of the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>

is greater
<01431> (8799)

than the punishment
<02403>

of the sin of Sodom
<05467>_,

that was overthrown
<02015> (8803)

as in a moment
<07281>_,

and no hands
<03027>

stayed
<02342> (8804)

on her. {punishment of the iniquity: or, iniquity}

4:7

Her Nazarites
<05139>

were purer
<02141> (8804)

than snow
<07950>_,

they were whiter
<06705> (8804)

than milk
<02461>_,

they were more ruddy
<0119> (8804)

in body
<06106>

than rubies
<06443>_,

their polishing
<01508>

[was] of sapphire
<05601>_:

4:8

Their visage
<08389>

is blacker
<02821> (8804)

than a coal
<07815>_;

they are not known
<05234> (8738)

in the streets
<02351>_:

their skin
<05785>

cleaveth
<06821> (8804)

to their bones
<06106>_;

it is withered
<03001> (8804)_,

it is become like a stick
<06086>_.

{blacker...: Heb. darker than blackness}

4:9

[They that be] slain
<02491>

with the sword
<02719>

are better
<02896>

than [they that be] slain
<02491>

with hunger
<07458>_:

for these
<01992>

pine away
<02100> (8799)_,

stricken
<01856> (8794)

through for [want of] the fruits
<08570>

of the field
<07704>_.

{pine...: Heb. flow out}

4:10

The hands
<03027>

of the pitiful
<07362>

women
<0802>

have sodden
<01310> (8765)

their own children
<03206>_:

they were their meat
<01262> (8763)

in the destruction
<07667>

of the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>_.
