Weeping, she will weep in the night, and her tears upon her cheeks: no comfort to her from all loving her: all her friends dealt faithlessly with her, they were to her for enemies.

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.

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.

He cut off in the burning of anger all the horn of Israel: he turned back his right hand from the face of the enemy, and he will consume against Jacob as a fire of flame devouring round about

He bent his bow as an enemy: he set his right hand as an adversary, and be will slay all the delights of the eye in the tent of the daughter of Zion: he poured his wrath as fire.

Jehovah was as an enemy: he swallowed up Israel, he swallowed up all her fortresses: he destroyed his fortifications, and he will multiply in the daughter of Judah sorrow and sighing.

And he will tear away as a garden his dwelling: he destroyed his appointment: Jehovah caused to forget the appointment in Zion, and the Sabbath, and he will despise in the wrath of his anger the king and the priest.

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.

To their mothers will they say, Where the grain and wine? in their languishing as the wounded in the broad places of the city, in the pouring out of their soul into their mothers bosom.

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.

Thou wilt call as the day of appointment my sojourning from round about, and in the day of the anger of Jehovah there was no escaping and surviving: those I bore upon my hands and brought up, the enemy finished.

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.

Remembering, my soul will remember, and will be bowed down upon me.

I will turn this back to my heart; for this I shall hope.

Jehovah my portion, said my soul; for this I will hope toward him.

Good Jehovah to those waiting 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 give the cheek to him striking him: he will be filled with reproach.

For Jehovah will not cast of forever:

We will search out our ways, and examine and turn back even to Jehovah.

We will lift up our hearts upon the hands to God in the heavens.

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.

Mine eye flowed and it will not be silent, from no intermission,

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 turn back to them a retribution, O Jehovah, according to the work Of their hands.

Thou wilt give to them a covering of heart, thy curse to them.

Thou wilt pursue in thine anger, and thou wilt destroy them from under the heavens, O Jehovah.

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.

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.

The kings of the earth believed not, and all those dwelling in the habitable globe, that the enemy will come in to the gates of Jerusalem.

The face of Jehovah their portion; he will not add to look upon them: they accepted not the face of the priests, they compassionated not the old men.

Continuing, yet our eyes will fail, for our help in vain: in our watching we watched for a nation it will not save us.

Thine iniquity was finished, O daughter of Zion; he will not add to carry thee into exile: reviewing thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom, he uncovered upon thy sins.

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

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