Lamentations 1

1 The miserable estate of Jerusalem by reason of her sin. 12 She complaineth of her grief, 18 and confesseth God's judgment to be righteous.

 1:1 ¶ How x349 doeth the citie 5892 sit 3427 z8804 solitarie 910 [that was] full 7227 of people? 5971 [how] is she become x1961 as a widow? 490 She [that was] great 7227 among the nations, 1471 and princesse 8282 among the prouinces, 4082 [how] is she become x1961 tributarie? 4522

 1:2 Shee weepeth y1058 z8799 sore 1058 z8800 in the night, 3915 and her teares 1832 [are] on x5921 her cheekes: 3895 among all x4480 x3605 her louers 157 z8802 she [hath] none x369 to comfort 5162 z8764 her, all x3605 her friends 7453 haue dealt treacherously 898 z8804 with her, they are become x1961 her enemies. 341 z8802

 1:3 Iudah 3063 is gone into captiuitie, 1540 z8804 because of affliction, 6040 x4480 and because of great 7230 x4480 seruitude: 5656 she x1931 dwelleth 3427 z8804 among the heathen, 1471 she findeth 4672 z8804 no x3808 rest: 4494 all x3605 her persecutors 7291 z8802 ouertook 5381 z8689 her betweene x996 the straits. 4712

 1:4 The wayes 1870 of Zion 6726 do mourne, 57 because none x4480 x1097 come 935 z8802 to the solemne feasts: 4150 all x3605 her gates 8179 are desolate: 8074 z8802 her priests 3548 sigh: 584 z8737 her virgins 1330 are afflicted, 3013 z8737 and she x1931 [is] in bitternesse. 4843 z8804

 1:5 Her aduersaries 6862 are x1961 the chiefe, 7218 her enemies 341 z8802 prosper: 7951 z8804 for x3588 the LORD 3068 hath afflicted 3013 z8689 her; for x5921 the multitude 7230 of her transgressions, 6588 her children 5768 are gone 1980 z8804 into captiuitie 7628 before 6440 the enemie. 6862

 1:6 And from x4480 the daughter 1323 of Zion 6726 all x3605 her beautie 1926 is departed: 3318 z8799 her princes 8269 are become x1961 like Harts 354 [that] find 4672 z8804 no x3808 pasture, 4829 & they are gone y3212 z8799 x1980 without x3808 strength 3581 before 6440 the pursuer. 7291 z8802

 1:7 Ierusalem 3389 remembred 2142 z8804 in the dayes 3117 of her affliction, 6040 and of her miseries, 4788 all x3605 her pleasant things 4262 that x834 she had x1961 in the dayes 3117 x4480 of old, 6924 when her people 5971 fell 5307 z8800 into the hand 3027 of the enemie, 6862 and none x369 did helpe 5826 z8802 her, the aduersaries 6862 saw 7200 z8804 her, [and] did mocke 7832 z8804 at x5921 her Sabbaths. 4868

 1:8 Ierusalem 3389 hath grieuously y2399 sinned, 2398 z8804 x2399 therefore x5921 x3651 she is x1961 remoued: 5206 all x3605 that honoured 3513 z8764 her, despise y2107 z8689 x2151 her, because x3588 they haue seene 7200 z8804 her nakednesse: 6172 yea, x1571 shee x1931 sigheth 584 z8738 and turneth 7725 z8799 backward. 268

 1:9 Her filthines 2932 [is] in her skirts, 7757 she remembreth 2142 z8804 not x3808 her last end, 319 therfore she came downe 3381 z8799 wonderfully: 6382 shee [had] no x369 comforter: 5162 z8764 O LORD, 3068 behold 7200 z8798 x853 my affliction: 6040 for x3588 ye enemie 341 z8802 hath magnified 1431 z8689 [himselfe].

 1:10 The aduersarie 6862 hath spread out 6566 z8804 his hand 3027 vpon x5921 all x3605 her pleasant things: 4261 for x3588 she hath seene 7200 z8804 [that] the heathen 1471 entred 935 z8804 into her Sanctuarie, 4720 whom x834 thou didst command 6680 z8765 [that] they should not x3808 enter 935 z8799 into thy congregation. 6951

 1:11 All x3605 her people 5971 sigh, 584 z8737 they seek 1245 z8764 bread, 3899 they haue giuen 5414 z8804 their pleasant things 4262 y4261 z8675 for meate 400 to relieue 7725 z8687 the soule: 5315 see, 7200 z8798 O LORD, 3068 & consider: 5027 z8685 for x3588 I am become x1961 vile. 2151 z8802

 1:12 ¶ [Is it] nothing x3808 to x413 you, all x3605 ye that passe y5674 z8802 by? 1870 x5674 Behold 5027 z8685 and see, 7200 z8798 if x518 there be 3426 any sorow 4341 like vnto my sorowe, 4341 which x834 is done 5953 z8776 vnto me, wherewith x834 the LORD 3068 hath afflicted 3013 z8689 [me], in the day 3117 of his fierce 2740 anger. 639

 1:13 From aboue 4791 x4480 hath he sent 7971 z8804 fire 784 into my bones, 6106 and it preuaileth y7287 z8799 against x7287 them: he hath spread 6566 z8804 a net 7568 for my feete, 7272 he hath turned 7725 z8689 me backe: 268 he hath made 5414 z8804 me desolate, 8074 z8802 [and] faint 1739 all x3605 the day. 3117

 1:14 The yoke 5923 of my transgressions 6588 is bound 8244 z8738 by his hand: 3027 they are wreathed, 8276 z8691 and come vp 5927 z8804 vpon x5921 my necke: 6677 he hath made my strength 3581 to fall, 3782 z8689 the Lord 136 hath deliuered 5414 z8804 me into [their] hands, 3027 [from whom] I am not able 3201 z8799 x3808 to rise vp. 6965 z8800

 1:15 The Lord 136 hath troden vnder foot 5541 z8765 all x3605 my mightie 47 men in the midst 7130 of me: he hath called 7121 z8804 an assembly 4150 against x5921 mee, to crush 7665 z8800 my yong men. 970 The Lord 136 hath troden 1869 z8804 the virgine, 1330 the daughter 1323 of Iudah, 3063 [as] in a wine presse. 1660

 1:16 For x5921 these x428 things I x589 weepe, 1058 z8802 mine eye, 5869 mine eye 5869 runneth downe 3381 z8802 with water, 4325 because x3588 the comforter 5162 z8764 that should relieue 7725 z8688 my soule 5315 is farre 7368 z8804 from x4480 me: my children 1121 are x1961 desolate, 8074 z8802 because x3588 the enemy 341 z8802 preuailed. 1396 z8804

 1:17 Zion 6726 spreadeth forth 6566 z8765 her hands, 3027 [and there is] none x369 to comfort 5162 z8764 her: the LORD 3068 hath commanded 6680 z8765 concerning Iacob, 3290 that his aduersaries 6862 [should bee] round about 5439 him: Ierusalem 3389 is x1961 as a menstruous woman 5079 among x996 them.

 1:18 ¶ The LORD 3068 is righteous, 6662 for x3588 I haue rebelled 4784 z8804 against his commandement: 6310 heare, 8085 z8798 I pray you, x4994 all x3605 people, 5971 and behold 7200 z8798 my sorow: 4341 my virgins 1330 and my yong men 970 are gone 1980 z8804 into captiuitie. 7628

 1:19 I called 7121 z8804 for my louers, 157 z8764 [but] they x1992 deceiued 7411 z8765 me: my priests 3548 and mine elders 2205 gaue vp the ghost 1478 z8804 in the citie, 5892 while x3588 they sought 1245 z8765 their meat 400 to relieue 7725 z8686 x853 their soules 5315

 1:20 Behold, 7200 z8798 O LORD: 3068 for x3588 I [am] in distresse: y6887 z8804 x6862 my bowels 4578 are troubled: 2560 z8777 mine heart 3820 is turned 2015 z8738 within 7130 mee, for x3588 I haue grieuously y4784 z8800 rebelled: 4784 z8804 abroad 2351 x4480 the sword 2719 bereaueth, 7921 z8765 at home 1004 [there is] as death. 4194

 1:21 They haue heard 8085 z8804 that x3588 I x589 sigh, 584 z8737 [there is] none x369 to comfort 5162 z8764 me: all x3605 mine enemies 341 z8802 haue heard 8085 z8804 of my trouble, 7451 they are glad 7797 z8804 that x3588 thou x859 hast done 6213 z8804 it: thou wilt bring 935 z8689 the day 3117 [that] thou hast called, 7121 z8804 and they shall be x1961 like y3644 vnto me. x3644

 1:22 Let all x3605 their wickednes 7451 come 935 z8799 before 6440 thee: and doe 5953 z8778 vnto them, as x834 thou hast done 5953 z8782 vnto me for x5921 all x3605 my transgressions: 6588 for x3588 my sighes 585 [are] many, 7227 and my heart 3820 [is] faint. 1742
