Lamentations 2:1-22 STRONG

How hath the Lord ^H136 covered ^H5743 the daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726 with a cloud ^H5743 in his anger, ^H639 and cast down ^H7993 from heaven ^H8064 unto the earth ^H776 the beauty ^H8597 of Israel, ^H3478 and remembered ^H2142 not his footstool ^{H1916 H7272} in the day ^H3117 of his anger! ^H639 The Lord ^H136 hath swallowed up ^H1104 all the habitations ^H4999 of Jacob, ^H3290 and hath not pitied: ^H2550 he hath thrown down ^H2040 in his wrath ^H5678 the strong holds ^H4013 of the daughter ^H1323 of Judah; ^H3063 he hath brought them down ^H5060 to the ground: ^H776 he hath polluted ^H2490 the kingdom ^H4467 and the princes ^H8269 thereof. He hath cut off ^H1438 in his fierce ^H2750 anger ^H639 all the horn ^H7161 of Israel: ^H3478 he hath drawn ^H7725 back ^H268 his right hand ^H3225 from before ^H6440 the enemy, ^H341 and he burned ^H1197 against Jacob ^H3290 like a flaming ^H3852 fire, ^H784 which devoureth ^H398 round about. ^H5439 He hath bent ^H1869 his bow ^H7198 like an enemy: ^H341 he stood ^H5324 with his right hand ^H3225 as an adversary, ^H6862 and slew ^H2026 all that were pleasant ^H4261 to the eye ^H5869 in the tabernacle ^H168 of the daughter ^H1323 of Zion: ^H6726 he poured out ^H8210 his fury ^H2534 like fire. ^H784 The Lord ^H136 was as an enemy: ^H341 he hath swallowed up ^H1104 Israel, ^H3478 he hath swallowed up ^H1104 all her palaces: ^H759 he hath destroyed ^H7843 his strong holds, ^H4013 and hath increased ^H7235 in the daughter ^H1323 of Judah ^H3063 mourning ^H8386 and lamentation. ^H592 And he hath violently taken away ^H2554 his tabernacle, ^H7900 as if it were of a garden: ^H1588 he hath destroyed ^H7843 his places of the assembly: ^H4150 the LORD ^H3068 hath caused the solemn feasts ^H4150 and sabbaths ^H7676 to be forgotten ^H7911 in Zion, ^H6726 and hath despised ^H5006 in the indignation ^H2195 of his anger ^H639 the king ^H4428 and the priest. ^H3548 The Lord ^H136 hath cast off ^H2186 his altar, ^H4196 he hath abhorred ^H5010 his sanctuary, ^H4720 he hath given up ^H5462 into the hand ^H3027 of the enemy ^H341 the walls ^H2346 of her palaces; ^H759 they have made ^H5414 a noise ^H6963 in the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 as in the day ^H3117 of a solemn feast. ^H4150 The LORD ^H3068 hath purposed ^H2803 to destroy ^H7843 the wall ^H2346 of the daughter ^H1323 of Zion: ^H6726 he hath stretched out ^H5186 a line, ^H6957 he hath not withdrawn ^H7725 his hand ^H3027 from destroying: ^H1104 therefore he made the rampart ^H2426 and the wall ^H2346 to lament; ^H56 they languished ^H535 together. ^H3162 Her gates ^H8179 are sunk ^H2883 into the ground; ^H776 he hath destroyed ^H6 and broken ^H7665 her bars: ^H1280 her king ^H4428 and her princes ^H8269 are among the Gentiles: ^H1471 the law ^H8451 is no more; her prophets ^H5030 also find ^H4672 no vision ^H2377 from the LORD. ^H3068 The elders ^H2205 of the daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726 sit ^H3427 upon the ground, ^H776 and keep silence: ^H1826 they have cast up ^H5927 dust ^H6083 upon their heads; ^H7218 they have girded ^H2296 themselves with sackcloth: ^H8242 the virgins ^H1330 of Jerusalem ^H3389 hang down ^H3381 their heads ^H7218 to the ground. ^H776 Mine eyes ^H5869 do fail ^H3615 with tears, ^H1832 my bowels ^H4578 are troubled, ^H2560 my liver ^H3516 is poured ^H8210 upon the earth, ^H776 for the destruction ^H7667 of the daughter ^H1323 of my people; ^H5971 because the children ^H5768 and the sucklings ^H3243 swoon ^H5848 in the streets ^H7339 of the city. ^H7151 They say ^H559 to their mothers, ^H517 Where is corn ^H1715 and wine? ^H3196 when they swooned ^H5848 as the wounded ^H2491 in the streets ^H7339 of the city, ^H5892 when their soul ^H5315 was poured out ^H8210 into their mothers' ^H517 bosom. ^H2436 What thing shall I take to witness ^{H5749 H5749} for thee? what thing ^H4100 shall I liken ^H1819 to thee, O daughter ^H1323 of Jerusalem? ^H3389 what shall I equal ^H7737 to thee, that I may comfort ^H5162 thee, O virgin ^H1330 daughter ^H1323 of Zion? ^H6726 for thy breach ^H7667 is great ^H1419 like the sea: ^H3220 who can heal ^H7495 thee? Thy prophets ^H5030 have seen ^H2372 vain ^H7723 and foolish things ^H8602 for thee: and they have not discovered ^H1540 thine iniquity, ^H5771 to turn away ^H7725 thy captivity; ^{H7622 H7622} but have seen ^H2372 for thee false ^H7723 burdens ^H4864 and causes of banishment. ^H4065 All that pass ^H5674 by clap ^H5606 their hands ^H3709 at thee; ^H1870 they hiss ^H8319 and wag ^H5128 their head ^H7218 at the daughter ^H1323 of Jerusalem, ^H3389 saying, Is this the city ^H5892 that men call ^H559 The perfection ^H3632 of beauty, ^H3308 The joy ^H4885 of the whole earth? ^H776 All thine enemies ^H341 have opened ^H6475 their mouth ^H6310 against thee: they hiss ^H8319 and gnash ^H2786 the teeth: ^H8127 they say, ^H559 We have swallowed her up: ^H1104 certainly ^H389 this is the day ^H3117 that we looked for; ^H6960 we have found, ^H4672 we have seen ^H7200 it. The LORD ^H3068 hath done ^H6213 that which he had devised; ^H2161 he hath fulfilled ^H1214 his word ^H565 that he had commanded ^H6680 in the days ^H3117 of old: ^H6924 he hath thrown down, ^H2040 and hath not pitied: ^H2550 and he hath caused thine enemy ^H341 to rejoice ^H8055 over thee, he hath set up ^H7311 the horn ^H7161 of thine adversaries. ^H6862 Their heart ^H3820 cried ^H6817 unto the Lord, ^H136 O wall ^H2346 of the daughter ^H1323 of Zion, ^H6726 let tears ^H1832 run down ^H3381 like a river ^H5158 day ^H3119 and night: ^H3915 give ^H5414 thyself no rest; ^H6314 let not the apple ^H1323 of thine eye ^H5869 cease. ^H1826 Arise, ^H6965 cry out ^H7442 in the night: ^H3915 in the beginning ^H7218 of the watches ^H821 pour out ^H8210 thine heart ^H3820 like water ^H4325 before ^H5227 the face ^H6440 of the Lord: ^H136 lift up ^H5375 thy hands ^H3709 toward him for the life ^H5315 of thy young children, ^H5768 that faint ^H5848 for hunger ^H7458 in the top ^H7218 of every street. ^H2351 Behold, ^H7200 O LORD, ^H3068 and consider ^H5027 to whom thou hast done ^H5953 this. ^H3541 Shall the women ^H802 eat ^H398 their fruit, ^H6529 and children ^H5768 of a span long? ^H2949 shall the priest ^H3548 and the prophet ^H5030 be slain ^H2026 in the sanctuary ^H4720 of the Lord? ^H136 The young ^H5288 and the old ^H2205 lie ^H7901 on the ground ^H776 in the streets: ^H2351 my virgins ^H1330 and my young men ^H970 are fallen ^H5307 by the sword; ^H2719 thou hast slain ^H2026 them in the day ^H3117 of thine anger; ^H639 thou hast killed, ^H2873 and not pitied. ^H2550 Thou hast called ^H7121 as in a solemn ^H4150 day ^H3117 my terrors ^H4032 round about, ^H5439 so that in the day ^H3117 of the LORD'S ^H3068 anger ^H639 none escaped ^H6412 nor remained: ^H8300 those that I have swaddled ^H2946 and brought up ^H7235 hath mine enemy ^H341 consumed. ^H3615
