Lamentations 1:16-19

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>_.
