Thematic Bible: For the miseries of israel


Thematic Bible



Daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and roll thyself in ashes: make mourning, as for an only son bitter lamentation; for the spoiler cometh suddenly upon us.

Cut off thy hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the heights; for Jehovah hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

For this, gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl! for the fierce anger of Jehovah is not turned away from us.

And thou, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,


Hear this word, a lamentation, which I take up against you, O house of Israel.

In that day shall they take up a proverb concerning you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We are utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! He hath distributed our fields to the rebellious.
