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.

Her uncleanness is in her train; she remembered not her latter state; and she will come down wonderfully: none comforting for her. See, O Jehovah, my affliction: for the enemy magnified.

The yoke of my transgressions was bound by his hand: they will be woven together, they came up upon my neck: he caused my strength to fail, Jehovah gave me into the hands; I shall not be able to rise up.

For these I weep; mine eye, mine eye will go down with water, for he comforting turning back my soul, removed far off from me: my sons were desolations, for the enemy prevailed.

I called to those loving me, they deceived me: my priests and my old men expired in the city, for they sought food for them, and they will turn back their souls.

They have heard that I sigh; there is none to comfort me; All mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: Thou wilt bring the day that thou hast proclaimed, and they shall be like unto me.

How will Jehovah in his anger cover the daughter of Zion! he cast down from the heavens to the earth the beauty of Israel, and he remembered not the footstool of his feet in the day of his anger.

Jehovah purposed to destroy the walls of the daughter of Zion: he stretched out a line, he turned not back his hand from swallowing down: and the entrenchment will mourn, and the wall; together they languished.

What shall I take to witness for thee? what shall I liken unto thee, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, virgin daughter of Zion? For thy ruin is great as the sea: who will heal thee?

Thy prophets saw for thee vanity and a foolish thing, and they uncovered not upon thine iniquity to turn back thy captivity; and they will see for thee burdens of falsehood and seductions.

All passing by the way clapped their hands at thee; they hissed, and they will nod their head at the daughter of Jerusalem: This the city, they will say; the complete splendor of joy to all the earth.

All thine enemies opened wide their mouth upon thee: they hissed and they will gnash the teeth: they said, We swallowed down: surely this the day we longed for; we found; we saw.

Jehovah did what he purposed; he completed his word which he commanded in days of old: he pulled down and he pitied not: and be will gladden the enemy over thee; he lifted up the horn of thine adversaries.

See, O Yahweh, and do consider, to whom thou hast acted thus severely, - Will women, devour, their own fruit - the children they have dandled? Shall priest and prophet, be slain in the sanctuary of My Lord?

Wilt thou proclaim, like the day of an appointed meeting - My terrors round about? when there was not - in the day of the anger of Yahweh - fugitive or survivor, - Those whom I dandled and reared, my foe hath destroyed.

Surely he will turn back against me; he will turn his hand all the day.

He built against me, and he will surround with poison and distress.

He turned aside my ways and he will tear me in pieces: he set me a desolation.

He bent his bow, he will set me up as a mark for the arrow.

He will break my teeth with gravel stones, he covered me with ashes.

Thou wilt cast of my soul from peace: I forgat good.

Thou wilt, indeed remember, that, bowed down concerning myself, is my soul;

This, will I bring back to my heart, therefore, will I hope.

The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

Good is Yahweh, to them who wait for him, to the soul that will seek him;

He will sit alone and be silent, for he laid upon him.

He will give his mouth in the dust, if perhaps there is hope.

He will endure being slapped in the face, bringing him public disgrace.

But though he causeth grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

Thou didst cover with anger, and thou wilt pursue us: thou didst slay, thou didst not pity.

Mine eye will bring down streams of water for the breaking of the daughter of my people.

(Ayin) Tears flow from my eyes and will not stop; there will be no break

O LORD, when will thou look down from heaven, and consider?

Mine eye will glean for my soul for all the daughters of my city.

Thou heardest my voice: thou wilt not hide thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

Thou wilt render to them a recompense, O Yahweh, according to the work of their hands;

Thou wilt suffer them a veiling of heart, thy curse to them;

Thou wilt pursue in anger, and wilt destroy them, from under the heavens of Yahweh.

How will the gold become dim the good gold will be changed the stones of the holy place shall be poured out in the head of all the streets.

Even wild dogs, draw out the breast, give suck to their whelps - The daughter of my people, hath become cruel, like the ostriches in the desert.

For the iniquity of the daughter of my people will be great above the sin of Sodom being overthrown as in a moment, and no hands waited for her.

Those wounded by the sword were good above those wounded by famine: these will flow away, being thrust through from the produce of the field.

Jehovah finished his wrath; he poured out the burning of his anger, and he kindled a fire in Zion, and it will devour her foundations.

Turn aside! Unclean! have they cried to them, Turn aside! Turn aside! Do not touch! because they have fled, yea, wandered, Men said among the nations, They will not again tarry;

The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favored not the elders.

Silly shall our eyes fail, for our help that is vain: In our watchtower, have we watched - for a nation that will not save.

We drank our water for silver; our wood will come for a price.

We get our bread at the risk of our lives
Because of the sword [of the Arabs] in the wilderness [who may attack if we go out to harvest the crop].

For wild animals are prowling over Mount Zion, which lies desolate.

You, O Yahweh, will sit forever [on] your throne for generation to generation.

Wherefore wilt thou forget us forever? wilt thou forsake us to length of days?

Bring us back, O Yahweh, unto thyself, and we will come back! Renew our days, as of old;
