Lamentations 1:1-20

1:1

How 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>_!

1:2

She 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)_.

1:3

Judah
<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}

1:4

The 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)_.

1:5

Her 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>_.

1:6

And 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)_.

1:7

Jerusalem
<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}

1:8

Jerusalem
<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}

1:9

Her 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].

1:10

The 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}

1:11

All 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}

1:12

[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?}

1:13

From 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>_.

1:14

The 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)_.

1:15

The 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}

1:16

For 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}

1:17

Zion
<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.

1:18

The 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}

1:19

I 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>_.

1:20

Behold
<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>_.
