Lamentations 1:5-6

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)_.

Lamentations 2:20-22

2:20

Behold
<07200> (8798)_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

and consider
<05027> (8685)

to whom thou hast done
<05953> (8782)

this
<03541>_.

Shall the women
<0802>

eat
<0398> (8799)

their fruit
<06529>_,

[and] children
<05768>

of a span long
<02949>_?

shall the priest
<03548>

and the prophet
<05030>

be slain
<02026> (8735)

in the sanctuary
<04720>

of the Lord
<0136>_?

{of a span...: or, swaddled with their hands?}

2:21

The young
<05288>

and the old
<02205>

lie
<07901> (8804)

on the ground
<0776>

in the streets
<02351>_:

my virgins
<01330>

and my young men
<0970>

are fallen
<05307> (8804)

by the sword
<02719>_;

thou hast slain
<02026> (8804)

[them] in the day
<03117>

of thine anger
<0639>_;

thou hast killed
<02873> (8804)_,

[and] not pitied
<02550> (8804)_.

2:22

Thou hast called
<07121> (8799)

as in a solemn
<04150>

day
<03117>

my terrors
<04032>

round about
<05439>_,

so that in the day
<03117>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

anger
<0639>

none escaped
<06412>

nor remained
<08300>_:

those that I have swaddled
<02946> (8765)

and brought up
<07235> (8765)

hath mine enemy
<0341> (8802)

consumed
<03615> (8765)_.

Lamentations 4:2-10

4:2

The precious
<03368>

sons
<01121>

of Zion
<06726>_,

comparable
<05537> (8794)

to fine gold
<06337>_,

how are they esteemed
<02803> (8738)

as earthen
<02789>

pitchers
<05035>_,

the work
<04639>

of the hands
<03027>

of the potter
<03335> (8802)_!

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>_.

Jeremiah 9:21

9:21

For death
<04194>

is come up
<05927> (8804)

into our windows
<02474>_,

[and] is entered
<0935> (8804)

into our palaces
<0759>_,

to cut off
<03772> (8687)

the children
<05768>

from without
<02351>_,

[and] the young men
<0970>

from the streets
<07339>_.
