Lamentations 2

God's Anger over Israel

1

Howh351a the Lordh136 has  acoveredh5743 the daughterh1323 of Zionh6726 With a cloudh5743 in His angerh639! He has  bcasth7993 from heavenh8064 to earthh776 The  cgloryh8597 of Israelh3478, And has not rememberedh2142 His  dfootstoolh1916h7272 In the dayh3117 of His angerh639.

2

The Lordh136 has  aswallowedh1104 up; He has not sparedh2550 Allh3605 the habitationsh4999 of Jacobh3290. In His wrathh5678 He has  bthrownh2040 downh2040 The strongholdsh4013 of the daughterh1323 of Judahh3063; He has  cbroughth5060 them downh5060 to the groundh776; He has  dprofanedh2490c the kingdomh4467 and its princesh8269.

3

In fierceh2750 angerh639 He has cuth1438 offh1438  1Allh3605 the  astrengthh7161 of Israelh3478; He has  bdrawnh7725 backh268 His righth3225 handh3225 From beforeh6440 the enemyh340. And He has  cburnedh1197a in Jacobh3290 like a flamingh3852 fireh784 Consumingh398 roundh5439 abouth5439.

4

He has benth1869 His  abowh7198 like an enemyh340; He has seth5324 His righth3225 handh3225 like an adversaryh6862c And slainh2026 allh3605 that were  bpleasanth4261 to the eyeh5869; In the tenth168 of the daughterh1323 of Zionh6726 He has  cpouredh8210 out His wrathh2534 like fireh784.

5

The Lordh136 has becomeh1961 like an  aenemyh340. He has  bswallowedh1104 up Israelh3478; He has swallowedh1104 up allh3605 its  cpalacesh759, He has destroyedh7843 its strongholdsh4013 And  dmultipliedh7235a in the daughterh1323 of Judahh3063 Mourningh592 and moaningh592.

6

And He has violentlyh2554 treatedh2554 His  1tabernacleh7900 like a gardenh1588 booth; He has  adestroyedh7843 His appointedh4150  2meetingh4150 placeh4150. The LORDh3068 has  bcaused to be forgottenh7911 The appointedh4150 feasth4150 and sabbathh7676 in Zionh6726, And He has  cdespisedh5006 kingh4428 and priesth3548 In the indignationh2195 of His angerh639.

7

The Lordh136 has  arejectedh2186a His altarh4196, He has abandonedh5010 His sanctuaryh4720; He  bhas deliveredh5462 into the handh3027 of the enemyh340 The wallsh2346 of her palacesh759. They have madeh5414 a  cnoiseh6963 in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 As in the dayh3117 of an appointedh4150 feasth4150.

8

The LORDh3068  1determinedh2803 to destroyh7843 The wallh2346 of the daughterh1323 of Zionh6726. He has  astretchedh5186 out a lineh6957b, He has not restrainedh7725 His handh3027 from  2destroyingh1104, And He has  bcaused ramparth2426 and wallh2346 to lamenth56; They have languishedh535 togetherh3164a.

9

Her  agatesh8179 have sunkh2883 into the groundh776, He has destroyedh6 and brokenh7665 her barsh1280. Her kingh4428 and her princesh8269 are among the nationsh1471; The  blawh8451 is noh369 moreh369. Alsoh1571, her prophetsh5030 findh4672  cNoh3808 visionh2377 from the LORDh3068.

10

The eldersh2205 of the daughterh1323 of Zionh6726  aSith3427 on the groundh776, they  bare silenth1826a. They have thrownh5927  cdusth6083 on their headsh7218; They have girdedh2296 themselves with  dsackclothh8242. The  evirginsh1330 of Jerusalemh3389 Have bowedh3381 their headsh7218 to the groundh776.

11

My  aeyesh5869 failh3615 because of tearsh1832, My  1 bspirith4578 is greatlyh2560a troubledh2560a; My  2 chearth3516 is pouredh8210 out on the earthh776  dBecauseh5921 of the  3destructionh7667 of the daughterh1323 of my peopleh5971a, When  elittleh5768 onesh5768 and infantsh3243 fainth5848c In the streetsh7339 of the cityh7151.

12

They sayh559 to their mothersh517, " aWhereh346 is grainh1715 and wineh3196?" As they fainth5848c like a woundedh2491a manh2491a In the streetsh7339 of the cityh5892b, As their  blifeh5315 is pouredh8210 out On their mothers'h517 bosomh2436.

13

Howh4100 shall I admonishh5749b you? To whath4100  ashall I compareh1819 you, O daughterh1323 of Jerusalemh3389? To whath4100 shall I likenh7737a you as I comforth5162 you, O  bvirginh1330 daughterh1323 of Zionh6726? For your  1ruinh7667 is as vasth1419 as the seah3220; Whoh4310 can  chealh7495 you?

14

Your  aprophetsh5030 have seenh2372 for you Falseh7723 and foolishh8602a visions; And they have not  bexposedh1540 your iniquityh5771 So as to restoreh7725 you from captivityh7622, But they have  cseenh2372 for you falseh7723 and misleadingh4065  1oraclesh4065.

15

Allh3605 who passh5674a alongh5674a the wayh1870  aClaph5606 their handsh3709 in derision at you; They  bhissh8319 and shakeh5128 their headsh7218 At the daughterh1323 of Jerusalemh3389, "Is thish384 the cityh5892b of whichh7945 they saidh559, ` cThe perfectionh3632 of beautyh3308,  dA joyh4885 to allh3605 the earthh776'?"

16

Allh3605  ayour enemiesh340 Have openedh6475 their mouthsh6310 wide againsth5921 you; They hissh8319 and  bgnashh2786 their teethh8127. They sayh559, "We have  cswallowedh1104 her up! Surelyh389 thish2088 is the  ddayh3117 for whichh7945 we waitedh6960a; We have reachedh4672 it, we have seenh7200 it."

17

The LORDh3068 has  adoneh6213a whath834 He purposedh2161; He has accomplishedh1214 His wordh565b Whichh834 He commandedh6680 from daysh3117 of oldh6924a. He has thrownh2040 downh2040  bwithouth3808 sparingh2550, And He has caused the enemyh340 to  crejoiceh8055 overh5921 you; He has  dexaltedh7311 the  1mighth7161 of your adversariesh6862c.

18

Their  ahearth3820 criedh6817 out to the Lordh136, "O  bwallh2346 of the daughterh1323 of Zionh6726, Let your  ctearsh1832 runh3381 downh3381 like a riverh5158a dayh3119 and nighth3915; Giveh5414 yourself noh408 reliefh6314, Let  1your eyesh5869 haveh1826a noh408 resth1826a.

19

"Ariseh6965, cryh7442 aloudh7442 in the  anighth3915 At the beginningh7218 of the night watchesh821;  bPourh8210 out your hearth3820 like waterh4325 Beforeh5227 the presenceh6440 of the Lordh136; Lifth5375 up your handsh3709 to Him For the  clifeh5315 of your littleh5768 onesh5768 Who are  dfainth5848c because of hungerh7458 At the headh7218 of everyh3605 streeth2351."

20

Seeh7200, O LORDh3068, and lookh5027! With  awhomh4310 have You dealth5953a thush3541? Should womenh802  beath398 their  1offspringh6529, The littleh5768 onesh5768 whoh2949 were  2bornh2949 healthyh2949? Should  cpriesth3548 and propheth5030 be slainh2026 In the sanctuaryh4720 of the Lordh136?

21

On the groundh776 in the streetsh2351 Lieh7901  ayoungh5288 and oldh2205; My  bvirginsh1330 and my youngh970 menh970 Have fallenh5307 by the swordh2719. You have slainh2026 them in the dayh3117 of Your angerh639, You have slaughteredh2873,  cnot sparingh2550.

22

You calledh7121 as in the dayh3117 of an appointedh4150 feasth4150 My  aterrorsh4032 on everyh5439 sideh5439; And there was  bnoh3808 one whoh6412a escapedh6412a or survivedh8300 In the dayh3117 of the LORD'Sh3068 angerh639. Those  cwhomh834 I  1boreh2946 and rearedh7235a, My enemyh340 annihilatedh3615 them.
