How LORD has covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast down the beauty of Israel from heaven to the earth, and has not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.

LORD has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied. In his wrath he has thrown down the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground. He has profaned the kingdom and the rulers th

LORD has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line. He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying. And he has made the rampart and wall to lament, they languish together.

Her gates are sunk into the ground. He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her rulers are among the nations where the law is not. Yea, her prophets find no vision from LORD.

Thy prophets have seen FALSE and foolish visions for thee. And they have not uncovered thine iniquity, to bring back thy captivity, but have seen for thee FALSE oracles and causes of banishment.

LORD has done that which he purposed. He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. And he has caused the enemy to rejoice over thee. He has exalted the horn of thine advers

Their heart cried to LORD. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give thyself no respite. Let not the apple of thine eye cease.

Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches. Pour out thy heart like water before the face of LORD. Lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young sons, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.

The youth and the old man lay on the ground in the streets. My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. Thou have slain them in the day of thine anger. Thou have slaughtered, [and] not pitied.

He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.

[It is of] LORD's loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassions do not fail.

For LORD will not cast off forever.

For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the sons of men.

to subvert a man in his cause, LORD does not approve.

Who is he that says, and it comes to pass, when LORD does not command it?

Out of the mouth of the Most High does there not come evil and good.

We have transgressed and have rebelled. Thou have not pardoned.

Thou have covered with anger and pursued us. Thou have slain; thou have not pitied.

My eye pours down, and does not cease, without any intermission,

Thou heard my voice. Hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

Thou drew near in the day that I called upon thee. Thou said, Fear not.

Their visage is blacker than a coal. They are not known in the streets. Their skin clings to their bones. It is withered. It has become like a stick.

The kings of the earth did not believe, nor all the inhabitants of the world, that the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem.

Depart ye, they cried to them. Unclean! Depart, depart, do not touch! When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, They shall no more sojourn [here].

The anger of LORD has scattered them. He will no more regard them. They did not respect the persons of the priests. They did not favor the elders.

Our eyes do yet fail [in looking] for our vain help. In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.

Our fathers sinned, and are not, and we have borne their iniquities.

Rulers were hanged up by their hand. The faces of elders were not honored.
