Lamentations 2:1-8

2:1

How hath the Lord
<0136>

covered
<05743> (0)

the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>

with a cloud
<05743> (8686)

in his anger
<0639>_,

[and] cast down
<07993> (8689)

from heaven
<08064>

unto the earth
<0776>

the beauty
<08597>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and remembered
<02142> (8804)

not his footstool
<01916> <07272>

in the day
<03117>

of his anger
<0639>_!

2:2

The Lord
<0136>

hath swallowed up
<01104> (8765)

all the habitations
<04999>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and hath not pitied
<02550> (8804)_:

he hath thrown down
<02040> (8804)

in his wrath
<05678>

the strong holds
<04013>

of the daughter
<01323>

of Judah
<03063>_;

he hath brought [them] down
<05060> (8689)

to the ground
<0776>_:

he hath polluted
<02490> (8765)

the kingdom
<04467>

and the princes
<08269>

thereof. {brought...: Heb. made to touch}

2:3

He hath cut off
<01438> (8804)

in [his] fierce
<02750>

anger
<0639>

all the horn
<07161>

of Israel
<03478>_:

he hath drawn
<07725> (8689)

back
<0268>

his right hand
<03225>

from before
<06440>

the enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

and he burned
<01197> (8799)

against Jacob
<03290>

like a flaming
<03852>

fire
<0784>_,

[which] devoureth
<0398> (8804)

round about
<05439>_.

2:4

He hath bent
<01869> (8804)

his bow
<07198>

like an enemy
<0341> (8802)_:

he stood
<05324> (8737)

with his right hand
<03225>

as an adversary
<06862>_,

and slew
<02026> (8799)

all [that were] pleasant
<04261>

to the eye
<05869>

in the tabernacle
<0168>

of the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_:

he poured out
<08210> (8804)

his fury
<02534>

like fire
<0784>_.

{all...: Heb. all the desirable of the eye}

2:5

The Lord
<0136>

was as an enemy
<0341> (8802)_:

he hath swallowed up
<01104> (8765)

Israel
<03478>_,

he hath swallowed up
<01104> (8765)

all her palaces
<0759>_:

he hath destroyed
<07843> (8765)

his strong holds
<04013>_,

and hath increased
<07235> (8686)

in the daughter
<01323>

of Judah
<03063>

mourning
<08386>

and lamentation
<0592>_.

2:6

And he hath violently taken away
<02554> (8799)

his tabernacle
<07900>_,

as [if it were of] a garden
<01588>_:

he hath destroyed
<07843> (8765)

his places of the assembly
<04150>_:

the LORD
<03068>

hath caused the solemn feasts
<04150>

and sabbaths
<07676>

to be forgotten
<07911> (8765)

in Zion
<06726>_,

and hath despised
<05006> (8799)

in the indignation
<02195>

of his anger
<0639>

the king
<04428>

and the priest
<03548>_.

{tabernacle: or, hedge}

2:7

The Lord
<0136>

hath cast off
<02186> (8804)

his altar
<04196>_,

he hath abhorred
<05010> (8765)

his sanctuary
<04720>_,

he hath given up
<05462> (8689)

into the hand
<03027>

of the enemy
<0341> (8802)

the walls
<02346>

of her palaces
<0759>_;

they have made
<05414> (8804)

a noise
<06963>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

as in the day
<03117>

of a solemn feast
<04150>_.

{given up: Heb. shut up}

2:8

The LORD
<03068>

hath purposed
<02803> (8804)

to destroy
<07843> (8687)

the wall
<02346>

of the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_:

he hath stretched out
<05186> (8804)

a line
<06957>_,

he hath not withdrawn
<07725> (8689)

his hand
<03027>

from destroying
<01104> (8763)_:

therefore he made the rampart
<02426>

and the wall
<02346>

to lament
<056> (8686)_;

they languished
<0535> (8797)

together
<03162>_.

{destroying: Heb. swallowing up}

Lamentations 2:17-22

2:17

The LORD
<03068>

hath done
<06213> (8804)

[that] which he had devised
<02161> (8804)_;

he hath fulfilled
<01214> (8765)

his word
<0565>

that he had commanded
<06680> (8765)

in the days
<03117>

of old
<06924>_:

he hath thrown down
<02040> (8804)_,

and hath not pitied
<02550> (8804)_:

and he hath caused [thine] enemy
<0341> (8802)

to rejoice
<08055> (8762)

over thee, he hath set up
<07311> (8689)

the horn
<07161>

of thine adversaries
<06862>_.

2:18

Their heart
<03820>

cried
<06817> (8804)

unto the Lord
<0136>_,

O wall
<02346>

of the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_,

let tears
<01832>

run down
<03381> (8685)

like a river
<05158>

day
<03119>

and night
<03915>_:

give
<05414> (8799)

thyself no rest
<06314>_;

let not the apple
<01323>

of thine eye
<05869>

cease
<01826> (8799)_.

2:19

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

cry out
<07442> (8798)

in the night
<03915>_:

in the beginning
<07218>

of the watches
<0821>

pour out
<08210> (8798)

thine heart
<03820>

like water
<04325>

before
<05227>

the face
<06440>

of the Lord
<0136>_:

lift up
<05375> (8798)

thy hands
<03709>

toward him for the life
<05315>

of thy young children
<05768>_,

that faint
<05848> (8803)

for hunger
<07458>

in the top
<07218>

of every street
<02351>_.

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)_.
