Jerusalem sinned a sin; for this she was for a removing: all honoring her despised her, for they saw her nakedness: also she sighed, and she will turn away behind.

“People have heard that I groan,
That I have no comforter [in You].
All my enemies have heard of my desperation;
They are delighted [O Lord] that You have done it.
Oh, that You would bring the day [of judgment] which You have proclaimed
So that they will become like me.

Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.

Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.

He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.

Thou seest also their sitting down and their rising up. They make their songs of nothing but me.

Also the dragons draw out the breast, they suckled their sucklings: the daughter of my people violent as the ostriches in the desert.

Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
