A cry

My soul, my soul! I am in anguish! Oh, my heart!

My heart is pounding in me;
I cannot be silent,
Because you have heard, O my soul,
The sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.

O daughter of my people, put on sackcloth
And roll in ashes;

Mourn as for an only son,

A lamentation most bitter.
For suddenly the destroyer
Will come upon us.

Now hear the word of the Lord, O you women,
And let your ear receive the word of His mouth;
Teach your daughters wailing,
And everyone her neighbor a dirge.

“Wail, you shepherds, and cry;
And wallow in ashes, you masters of the flock;
For the days of your slaughter and your dispersions have come,
And you will fall like a choice vessel.

Thus says the Lord:
“Behold, waters are going to rise from the north
And become an overflowing torrent,
And overflow the land and all its fullness,
The city and those who live in it;
And the men will cry out,
And every inhabitant of the land will wail.

“The sound of an outcry from Horonaim,
‘Devastation and great destruction!’

Cry aloud with your voice, O daughter of Gallim!
Pay attention, Laishah and wretched Anathoth!

“On that day,” declares the Lord,
“There will be the sound of a cry from the Fish Gate,
A wail from the

Second Quarter,

And a loud crash from the hills.

Should good be repaid with evil?

For they have dug a pit for me.
Remember how I stood before You
To speak good on their behalf,
So as to turn away Your wrath from them.

And hid

For I have heard the whispering of many,
“Terror on every side!

Denounce him; yes, let us denounce him!”

All my trusted friends,

Watching for my fall, say:
“Perhaps he will be deceived, so that we may prevail against him
And take our revenge on him.”

Those who seek my life lay snares for me;
And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction,
And they devise treachery all day long.

All day long they

distort my words;

All their

thoughts are against me for evil.

To shoot from concealment at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.

The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set snares for me. Selah.

Then the Pharisees went and plotted together how they might trap Him in what He said.
