Lamentations 2

1 Jeremiah lamenteth the misery of Jerusalem. 20 He complaineth thereof to God.

 2:1 ¶ How x349 hath the Lord 136 couered 5743 z0 x853 the daughter 1323 of Zion 6726 with a cloud, y5743 z8686 in his anger, 639 [and] cast downe 7993 z8689 from heauen 8064 x4480 vnto the earth 776 the beautie 8597 of Israel, 3478 and remembred 2142 z8804 not x3808 his footstoole 1916 7272 in the day 3117 of his anger? 639

 2:2 The Lord 136 hath swallowed vp 1104 z8765 x853 all x3605 the habitations 4999 of Iacob, 3290 and hath not x3808 pitied: 2550 z8804 he hath throwen downe 2040 z8804 in his wrath 5678 the strong holds 4013 of the daughter 1323 of Iudah: 3063 he hath brought [them] down 5060 z8689 to the ground: 776 hee hath polluted 2490 z8765 the kingdome 4467 and the princes 8269 thereof.

 2:3 He hath cut off 1438 z8804 in his fierce 2750 anger 639 all x3605 the horne 7161 of Israel: 3478 he hath drawen 7725 z8689 backe 268 his right hand 3225 from before 6440 x4480 the enemy, 341 z8802 and he burned 1197 z8799 against Iacob 3290 like a flaming 3852 fire 784 [which] deuoureth 398 z8804 round about. 5439

 2:4 He hath bent 1869 z8804 his bow 7198 like an enemy: 341 z8802 he stood 5324 z8737 with his right hand 3225 as an aduersary, 6862 and slew 2026 z8799 all x3605 that were pleasant 4261 to the eye, 5869 in the tabernacle 168 of the daughter 1323 of Zion: 6726 he powred out 8210 z8804 his furie 2534 like fire. 784

 2:5 The Lord 136 was x1961 as an enemie: 341 z8802 he hath swallowed vp 1104 z8765 Israel, 3478 hee hath swallowed vp 1104 z8765 all x3605 her palaces: 759 he hath destroyed 7843 z8765 his strong holds, 4013 and hath increased 7235 z8686 in the daughter 1323 of Iudah 3063 mourning 8386 and lamentation. 592

 2:6 And he hath violently taken away 2554 z8799 his tabernacle, 7900 as [if it were of] a garden, 1588 hee hath destroyed 7843 z8765 his places of the assembly: 4150 the LORD 3068 hath caused the solemne feasts 4150 and Sabbaths 7676 to be forgotten 7911 z8765 in Zion, 6726 and hath despised 5006 z8799 in the indignation 2195 of his anger 639 the King 4428 and the Priest. 3548

 2:7 The Lord 136 hath cast off 2186 z8804 his Altar: 4196 hee hath abhorred 5010 z8765 his Sanctuarie: 4720 he hath giuen vp 5462 z8689 into the hand 3027 of the enemie 341 z8802 the walles 2346 of her palaces: 759 they haue made 5414 z8804 a noise 6963 in the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 as in the day 3117 of a solemne Feast. 4150

 2:8 The LORD 3068 hath purposed 2803 z8804 to destroy 7843 z8687 the wall 2346 of the daughter 1323 of Zion: 6726 he hath stretched out 5186 z8804 a line: 6957 he hath not x3808 withdrawen 7725 z8689 his hand 3027 from destroying: 1104 z8763 x4480 therefore hee made the rampart 2426 and the wall 2346 to lament: 56 z8686 they languished 535 z8797 together. 3162

 2:9 Her gates 8179 are sunke 2883 z8804 into the ground: 776 he hath destroyed 6 z8765 and broken 7665 z8765 her barres: 1280 her King 4428 and her Princes 8269 [are] among the Gentiles: 1471 the Law 8451 [is] no x369 [more], her prophets 5030 also x1571 finde 4672 z8804 no x3808 vision 2377 from the LORD. 3068 x4480

 2:10 The Elders 2205 of the daughter 1323 of Zion 6726 sit 3427 z8799 vpon the ground 776 [and] keepe silence: 1826 z8799 they haue cast vp 5927 z8689 dust 6083 vpon x5921 their heads: 7218 they haue girded 2296 z8804 themselues with sackcloth: 8242 the virgins 1330 of Ierusalem 3389 hang downe 3381 z8689 their heades 7218 to the ground. 776

 2:11 Mine eyes 5869 doe faile 3615 z8804 with teares: 1832 my bowels 4578 are troubled: 2560 z8777 my liuer 3516 is powred 8210 z8738 vpon the earth, 776 for x5921 the destruction 7667 of the daughter 1323 of my people, 5971 because the children 5768 and the sucklings 3243 z8802 swoone 5848 z8736 in the streets 7339 of the citie. 7151

 2:12 They say 559 z8799 to their mothers, 517 Where x346 [is] corne 1715 and wine? 3196 when they swooned 5848 z8692 as the wounded 2491 in the streets 7339 of the citie, 5892 when their soule 5315 was powred out 8210 z8692 into x413 their mothers 517 bosome. 2436

 2:13 What thing x4100 shall I take to witnesse 5749 z8686 z8675 z8799 for thee? what thing 4100 shall I liken 1819 z8762 to thee, O daughter 1323 of Ierusalem? 3389 what x4100 shall I equal 7737 z8686 to thee, that I may comfort 5162 z8762 thee, O Uirgin 1330 daughter 1323 of Zion? 6726 for x3588 thy breach 7667 [is] great 1419 like the sea: 3220 who x4310 can heale 7495 z8799 thee?

 2:14 Thy Prophets 5030 haue seene 2372 z8804 vaine 7723 and foolish things 8602 for thee, and they haue not x3808 discouered 1540 z8765 x5921 thine iniquitie, 5771 to turne away 7725 z8687 thy captiuitie: 7622 z8675 but haue seene 2372 z8799 for thee false 7723 burdens, 4864 and causes of banishment. 4065

 2:15 All x3605 that passe y5674 z8802 by, x5674 x1870 clap 5606 z8804 their hands 3709 at x5921 thee: y1870 they hisse 8319 z8804 and wagge 5128 z8686 their head 7218 at x5921 the daughter 1323 of Ierusalem, 3389 [saying, Is] this x2063 the citie 5892 that men call 559 z8799 x7945 the perfection 3632 of beauty, 3308 the ioy 4885 of the whole x3605 earth? 776

 2:16 All x3605 thine enemies 341 z8802 haue opened 6475 z8804 their mouth 6310 against x5921 thee: they hisse 8319 z8804 and gnash 2786 z8799 the teeth: 8127 they say, 559 z8804 We haue swallowed [her] vp: 1104 z8765 certainly 389 this x2088 [is] the day 3117 that we looked for: 6960 z8765 x7945 we haue found, 4672 z8804 we haue seene 7200 z8804 [it].

 2:17 The LORD 3068 hath done 6213 z8804 that which x834 he had deuised: 2161 z8804 he hath fulfilled 1214 z8765 his word 565 that x834 he had commanded 6680 z8765 in the dayes 3117 x4480 of old: 6924 hee hath throwen downe 2040 z8804 and hath not x3808 pitied: 2550 z8804 and he hath caused thine enemie 341 z8802 to reioyce 8055 z8762 ouer x5921 thee, hee hath set vp 7311 z8689 the horne 7161 of thine aduersaries. 6862

 2:18 Their heart 3820 cried 6817 z8804 vnto x413 the Lord, 136 O wall 2346 of the daughter 1323 of Zion, 6726 let teares 1832 runne downe 3381 z8685 like a riuer, 5158 day 3119 and night: 3915 giue 5414 z8799 thy selfe no x408 rest, 6314 let not x408 the apple 1323 of thine eyes 5869 cease. 1826 z8799

 2:19 Arise, 6965 z8798 cry out 7442 z8798 in the night: 3915 in the beginning 7218 of the watches 821 powre out 8210 z8798 thine heart 3820 like water 4325 before 5227 the face 6440 of the Lord: 136 lift vp 5375 z8798 thy handes 3709 toward x413 him, for x5921 the life 5315 of thy yong children, 5768 that faint 5848 z8803 for hunger 7458 in the top 7218 of euery x3605 streete. 2351

 2:20 ¶ Behold, 7200 z8798 O LORD, 3068 and consider 5027 z8685 to whom x4310 thou hast done 5953 z8782 this: 3541 shal the women 802 eat 398 z8799 their fruit, 6529 [and] children 5768 of a spanne long? 2949 shall the priest 3548 and the prophet 5030 be slaine 2026 z8735 in the Sanctuary 4720 of the Lord? 136

 2:21 The yong 5288 and the old 2205 lye 7901 z8804 on the ground 776 in the streets: 2351 my virgins 1330 and my yong men 970 are fallen 5307 z8804 by the sword: 2719 thou hast slaine 2026 z8804 [them] in the day 3117 of thy anger: 639 thou hast killed, 2873 z8804 and not x3808 pitied. 2550 z8804

 2:22 Thou hast called 7121 z8799 as in a solemne 4150 day 3117 my terrours 4032 round about, 5439 x4480 so that in the day 3117 of the LORDS 3068 anger, 639 none x3808 escaped 6412 x1961 nor remained: 8300 those that x834 I haue swadled 2946 z8765 and brought vp, 7235 z8765 hath mine enemy 341 z8802 consumed. 3615 z8765
