They keep silence.
They have cast up dust on their heads.
They have clothed themselves with sackcloth.
The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground. [11] My eyes fail with tears.

because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city. [12] They ask their mothers,
“Where is grain and wine?”
when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city,
when their soul is poured out into their mothers’ bosom. [13] What shall I testify to you?
What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem?
What shall I compare to you,
that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion?
For your breach is as big as the sea.
Who can heal you? [14] Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you.
They have not uncovered your iniquity,
to reverse your captivity,
but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment. [15] All that pass by clap their hands at you.
They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying,
“Is this the city that men called ‘The perfection of beauty,
the joy of the whole earth’?” [16] All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you.
They hiss and gnash their teeth.
They say, “We have swallowed her up.
Certainly this is the day that we looked for.
We have found it.
We have seen it.” [17] Yahweh has done that which he planned.
He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old.
He has thrown down,
and has not pitied.
He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you.
He has exalted the horn of your adversaries. [18] Their heart cried to the Lord.
O wall of the daughter of Zion,
let tears run down like a river day and night.
Give yourself no relief.
Don’t let your eyes rest. [19] Arise, cry out in the night,
at the beginning of the watches!
Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord.
Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children,
who faint for hunger at the head of every street. [20] “Look, Yahweh, and see to whom you have done thus!
Should the women eat their offspring,
the children that they held and bounced on their knees?
Should the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord? [21] “The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets.
My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword.
You have killed them in the day of your anger.
You have slaughtered, and not pitied. [22] “You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side.

King James Version
[1] How hath the Lord H136 covered H5743
The daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 with a cloud H5743 (HiphImpf) in his anger, H639
And cast down H7993 (HiphPerf) from heaven H8064 unto the earth H776
The beauty H8597 of Israel, H3478
And remembered H2142 (QalPerf) not his footstool H1916
In the day H3117 of his anger! H639
[2] The Lord H136 hath swallowed up H1104 (PielPerf)
All the habitations H4999 of Jacob, H3290 and hath not pitied: H2550 (QalPerf)
He hath thrown down H2040 (QalPerf) in his wrath H5678
The strong holds H4013 of the daughter H1323 of Judah; H3063
He hath brought them down§ H5060 (HiphPerf) to the ground: H776
He hath polluted H2490 (PielPerf) the kingdom H4467 and the princes H8269 thereof.
[3] He hath cut off H1438 (QalPerf) in his fierce H2750 anger H639
All the horn H7161 of Israel: H3478
He hath drawn H7725 (HiphPerf) back H268 his right hand H3225
From before H6440 the enemy, H341 (QalActPtc)
And he burned H1197 (QalImpf) against Jacob H3290 like a flaming H3852 fire, H784
Which devoureth H398 (QalPerf) round about. H5439
[4] He hath bent H1869 (QalPerf) his bow H7198 like an enemy: H341 (QalActPtc)
He stood H5324 (NiphPtc) with his right hand H3225 as an adversary, H6862
And slew H2026 (QalImpf) all that were pleasant H4261 to the eye H5869§
In the tabernacle H168 of the daughter H1323 of Zion: H6726
He poured out H8210 (QalPerf) his fury H2534 like fire. H784
[5] The Lord H136 was as an enemy: H341 (QalActPtc)
He hath swallowed up H1104 (PielPerf) Israel, H3478
He hath swallowed up H1104 (PielPerf) all her palaces: H759
He hath destroyed H7843 (PielPerf) his strong holds, H4013
And hath increased H7235 (HiphImpf) in the daughter H1323 of Judah H3063
Mourning H8386 and lamentation. H592
[6] And he hath violently taken away H2554 (QalImpf) his tabernacle, H7900§ as if it were of a garden: H1588
He hath destroyed H7843 (PielPerf) his places of the assembly: H4150
The Lord H3068 hath caused the solemn feasts H4150
And sabbaths H7676 to be forgotten H7911 (PielPerf) in Zion, H6726
And hath despised H5006 (QalImpf) in the indignation H2195 of his anger H639
The king H4428 and the priest. H3548
[7] The Lord H136 hath cast off H2186 (QalPerf) his altar, H4196
He hath abhorred H5010 (PielPerf) his sanctuary, H4720
He hath given up H5462 (HiphPerf)§ into the hand H3027 of the enemy H341 (QalActPtc)
The walls H2346 of her palaces; H759
They have made H5414 (QalPerf) a noise H6963 in the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068
As in the day H3117 of a solemn feast. H4150
[8] The Lord H3068 hath purposed H2803 (QalPerf) to destroy H7843 (HiphInf)
The wall H2346 of the daughter H1323 of Zion: H6726
He hath stretched out H5186 (QalPerf) a line, H6957
He hath not withdrawn H7725 (HiphPerf) his hand H3027 from destroying: H1104 (PielInf)§
Therefore he made the rampart H2426 and the wall H2346 to lament; H56 (HiphImpf)
They languished H535 (PulaPerf) together. H3162
[9] Her gates H8179 are sunk H2883 (QalPerf) into the ground; H776
He hath destroyed H6 (PielPerf) and broken H7665 (PielPerf) 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 (QalPerf)
No vision H2377 from the Lord. H3068
[10] The elders H2205 of the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726
Sit H3427 (QalImpf) upon the ground, H776 and keep silence: H1826 (QalImpf)
They have cast up H5927 (HiphPerf) dust H6083 upon their heads; H7218
They have girded H2296 (QalPerf) themselves with sackcloth: H8242
The virgins H1330 of Jerusalem H3389
Hang down H3381 (HiphPerf) their heads H7218 to the ground. H776
[11] Mine eyes H5869 do fail H3615 (QalPerf) with tears, H1832
My bowels H4578 are troubled, H2560 (Poal2Perf)
My liver H3516 is poured H8210 (NiphPerf) upon the earth, H776
For the destruction H7667 of the daughter H1323 of my people; H5971
Because the children H5768 and the sucklings H3243 (QalActPtc) swoon H5848 (NiphInf)§
In the streets H7339 of the city. H7151
[12] They say H559 (QalImpf) to their mothers, H517
Where is corn H1715 and wine? H3196
When they swooned H5848 (HithInf) as the wounded H2491
In the streets H7339 of the city, H5892
When their soul H5315 was poured out H8210 (HithInf)
Into their mothers’ H517 bosom. H2436
[13] What thing shall I take to witness H5749 (HiphImpf/Qere) for thee? what thing H4100 shall I liken H1819 (PielImpf) to thee,
O daughter H1323 of Jerusalem? H3389
What shall I equal H7737 (HiphImpf) to thee, that I may comfort H5162 (PielImpf) thee,
O virgin H1330 daughter H1323 of Zion? H6726
For thy breach H7667 is great H1419 like the sea: H3220
Who can heal H7495 (QalImpf) thee?
[14] Thy prophets H5030 have seen H2372 (QalPerf) vain H7723
And foolish things H8602 for thee:
And they have not discovered H1540 (PielPerf) thine iniquity, H5771
To turn away H7725 (HiphInf) thy captivity; H7622 (Qere)
But have seen H2372 (QalImpf) for thee false H7723 burdens H4864
And causes of banishment. H4065
[15] All that pass H5674 (QalActPtc) by§ clap H5606 (QalPerf)
Their hands H3709 at thee; H1870
They hiss H8319 (QalPerf) and wag H5128 (HiphImpf) their head H7218
At the daughter H1323 of Jerusalem, H3389 saying,
Is this the city H5892 that men call H559 (QalImpf)
The perfection H3632 of beauty, H3308
The joy H4885 of the whole earth? H776
[16] All thine enemies H341 (QalActPtc)
Have opened H6475 (QalPerf) their mouth H6310 against thee:
They hiss H8319 (QalPerf) and gnash H2786 (QalImpf) the teeth: H8127
They say, H559 (QalPerf) We have swallowed her up: H1104 (PielPerf)
Certainly H389 this is the day H3117 that we looked for; H6960 (PielPerf)
We have found, H4672 (QalPerf) we have seen H7200 (QalPerf) it.
[17] The Lord H3068 hath done H6213 (QalPerf) that which he had devised; H2161 (QalPerf)
He hath fulfilled H1214 (PielPerf) his word H565
That he had commanded H6680 (PielPerf) in the days H3117 of old: H6924
He hath thrown down, H2040 (QalPerf) and hath not pitied: H2550 (QalPerf)
And he hath caused thine enemy H341 (QalActPtc) to rejoice H8055 (PielImpf) over thee,
He hath set up H7311 (HiphPerf) the horn H7161 of thine adversaries. H6862
[18] Their heart H3820 cried H6817 (QalPerf) unto the Lord, H136
O wall H2346 of the daughter H1323 of Zion, H6726
Let tears H1832 run down H3381 (HiphImpv) like a river H5158
Day H3119 and night: H3915
Give H5414 (QalImpf) thyself no rest; H6314
Let not the apple H1323 of thine eye H5869 cease. H1826 (QalImpf)
[19] Arise, H6965 (QalImpv) cry out H7442 (QalImpv) in the night: H3915
In the beginning H7218 of the watches H821
Pour out H8210 (QalImpv) thine heart H3820 like water H4325
Before H5227 the face H6440 of the Lord: H136
Lift up H5375 (QalImpv) thy hands H3709 toward him for the life H5315
Of thy young children, H5768
That faint H5848 (QalPasPtc) for hunger H7458
In the top H7218 of every street. H2351
[20] Behold, H7200 (QalImpv) O Lord, H3068
And consider H5027 (HiphImpv) to whom thou hast done H5953 (PoelPerf) this. H3541
Shall the women H802 eat H398 (QalImpf) their fruit, H6529
And children H5768 of a span long? H2949§
Shall the priest H3548 and the prophet H5030 be slain H2026 (NiphImpf)
In the sanctuary H4720 of the Lord? H136
[21] The young H5288 and the old H2205 lie H7901 (QalPerf)
On the ground H776 in the streets: H2351
My virgins H1330 and my young men H970
Are fallen H5307 (QalPerf) by the sword; H2719
Thou hast slain H2026 (QalPerf) them in the day H3117 of thine anger; H639
Thou hast killed, H2873 (QalPerf) and not pitied. H2550 (QalPerf)
[22] Thou hast called H7121 (QalImpf) 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 (PielPerf) and brought up H7235 (PielPerf) hath
Mine enemy H341 (QalActPtc) consumed. H3615 (PielPerf)
The daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 with a cloud H5743 (HiphImpf) in his anger, H639
And cast down H7993 (HiphPerf) from heaven H8064 unto the earth H776
The beauty H8597 of Israel, H3478
And remembered H2142 (QalPerf) not his footstool H1916
In the day H3117 of his anger! H639
[2] The Lord H136 hath swallowed up H1104 (PielPerf)
All the habitations H4999 of Jacob, H3290 and hath not pitied: H2550 (QalPerf)
He hath thrown down H2040 (QalPerf) in his wrath H5678
The strong holds H4013 of the daughter H1323 of Judah; H3063
He hath brought them down§ H5060 (HiphPerf) to the ground: H776
He hath polluted H2490 (PielPerf) the kingdom H4467 and the princes H8269 thereof.
[3] He hath cut off H1438 (QalPerf) in his fierce H2750 anger H639
All the horn H7161 of Israel: H3478
He hath drawn H7725 (HiphPerf) back H268 his right hand H3225
From before H6440 the enemy, H341 (QalActPtc)
And he burned H1197 (QalImpf) against Jacob H3290 like a flaming H3852 fire, H784
Which devoureth H398 (QalPerf) round about. H5439
[4] He hath bent H1869 (QalPerf) his bow H7198 like an enemy: H341 (QalActPtc)
He stood H5324 (NiphPtc) with his right hand H3225 as an adversary, H6862
And slew H2026 (QalImpf) all that were pleasant H4261 to the eye H5869§
In the tabernacle H168 of the daughter H1323 of Zion: H6726
He poured out H8210 (QalPerf) his fury H2534 like fire. H784
[5] The Lord H136 was as an enemy: H341 (QalActPtc)
He hath swallowed up H1104 (PielPerf) Israel, H3478
He hath swallowed up H1104 (PielPerf) all her palaces: H759
He hath destroyed H7843 (PielPerf) his strong holds, H4013
And hath increased H7235 (HiphImpf) in the daughter H1323 of Judah H3063
Mourning H8386 and lamentation. H592
[6] And he hath violently taken away H2554 (QalImpf) his tabernacle, H7900§ as if it were of a garden: H1588
He hath destroyed H7843 (PielPerf) his places of the assembly: H4150
The Lord H3068 hath caused the solemn feasts H4150
And sabbaths H7676 to be forgotten H7911 (PielPerf) in Zion, H6726

He hath given up H5462 (HiphPerf)§ into the hand H3027 of the enemy H341 (QalActPtc)
The walls H2346 of her palaces; H759

The wall H2346 of the daughter H1323 of Zion: H6726
He hath stretched out H5186 (QalPerf) a line, H6957
He hath not withdrawn H7725 (HiphPerf) his hand H3027 from destroying: H1104 (PielInf)§
Therefore he made the rampart H2426 and the wall H2346 to lament; H56 (HiphImpf)
They languished H535 (PulaPerf) together. H3162
[9] Her gates H8179 are sunk H2883 (QalPerf) into the ground; H776
He hath destroyed H6 (PielPerf) and broken H7665 (PielPerf) 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 (QalPerf)
No vision H2377 from the Lord. H3068
[10] The elders H2205 of the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726
Sit H3427 (QalImpf) upon the ground, H776 and keep silence: H1826 (QalImpf)
They have cast up H5927 (HiphPerf) dust H6083 upon their heads; H7218
They have girded H2296 (QalPerf) themselves with sackcloth: H8242
The virgins H1330 of Jerusalem H3389
Hang down H3381 (HiphPerf) their heads H7218 to the ground. H776
[11] Mine eyes H5869 do fail H3615 (QalPerf) with tears, H1832
My bowels H4578 are troubled, H2560 (Poal2Perf)
My liver H3516 is poured H8210 (NiphPerf) upon the earth, H776
For the destruction H7667 of the daughter H1323 of my people; H5971
Because the children H5768 and the sucklings H3243 (QalActPtc) swoon H5848 (NiphInf)§
In the streets H7339 of the city. H7151
[12] They say H559 (QalImpf) to their mothers, H517
Where is corn H1715 and wine? H3196
When they swooned H5848 (HithInf) as the wounded H2491
In the streets H7339 of the city, H5892

Into their mothers’ H517 bosom. H2436

O daughter H1323 of Jerusalem? H3389
What shall I equal H7737 (HiphImpf) to thee, that I may comfort H5162 (PielImpf) thee,
O virgin H1330 daughter H1323 of Zion? H6726
For thy breach H7667 is great H1419 like the sea: H3220
Who can heal H7495 (QalImpf) thee?
[14] Thy prophets H5030 have seen H2372 (QalPerf) vain H7723
And foolish things H8602 for thee:
And they have not discovered H1540 (PielPerf) thine iniquity, H5771
To turn away H7725 (HiphInf) thy captivity; H7622 (Qere)
But have seen H2372 (QalImpf) for thee false H7723 burdens H4864
And causes of banishment. H4065
[15] All that pass H5674 (QalActPtc) by§ clap H5606 (QalPerf)
Their hands H3709 at thee; H1870
They hiss H8319 (QalPerf) and wag H5128 (HiphImpf) their head H7218
At the daughter H1323 of Jerusalem, H3389 saying,
Is this the city H5892 that men call H559 (QalImpf)
The perfection H3632 of beauty, H3308
The joy H4885 of the whole earth? H776
[16] All thine enemies H341 (QalActPtc)
Have opened H6475 (QalPerf) their mouth H6310 against thee:
They hiss H8319 (QalPerf) and gnash H2786 (QalImpf) the teeth: H8127
They say, H559 (QalPerf) We have swallowed her up: H1104 (PielPerf)
Certainly H389 this is the day H3117 that we looked for; H6960 (PielPerf)
We have found, H4672 (QalPerf) we have seen H7200 (QalPerf) it.
[17] The Lord H3068 hath done H6213 (QalPerf) that which he had devised; H2161 (QalPerf)
He hath fulfilled H1214 (PielPerf) his word H565
That he had commanded H6680 (PielPerf) in the days H3117 of old: H6924
He hath thrown down, H2040 (QalPerf) and hath not pitied: H2550 (QalPerf)
And he hath caused thine enemy H341 (QalActPtc) to rejoice H8055 (PielImpf) over thee,
He hath set up H7311 (HiphPerf) the horn H7161 of thine adversaries. H6862
[18] Their heart H3820 cried H6817 (QalPerf) unto the Lord, H136
O wall H2346 of the daughter H1323 of Zion, H6726
Let tears H1832 run down H3381 (HiphImpv) like a river H5158
Day H3119 and night: H3915
Give H5414 (QalImpf) thyself no rest; H6314
Let not the apple H1323 of thine eye H5869 cease. H1826 (QalImpf)
[19] Arise, H6965 (QalImpv) cry out H7442 (QalImpv) in the night: H3915
In the beginning H7218 of the watches H821
Pour out H8210 (QalImpv) thine heart H3820 like water H4325
Before H5227 the face H6440 of the Lord: H136
Lift up H5375 (QalImpv) thy hands H3709 toward him for the life H5315
Of thy young children, H5768
That faint H5848 (QalPasPtc) for hunger H7458
In the top H7218 of every street. H2351
[20] Behold, H7200 (QalImpv) O Lord, H3068
And consider H5027 (HiphImpv) to whom thou hast done H5953 (PoelPerf) this. H3541
Shall the women H802 eat H398 (QalImpf) their fruit, H6529
And children H5768 of a span long? H2949§
Shall the priest H3548 and the prophet H5030 be slain H2026 (NiphImpf)
In the sanctuary H4720 of the Lord? H136
[21] The young H5288 and the old H2205 lie H7901 (QalPerf)
On the ground H776 in the streets: H2351
My virgins H1330 and my young men H970
Are fallen H5307 (QalPerf) by the sword; H2719
Thou hast slain H2026 (QalPerf) them in the day H3117 of thine anger; H639
Thou hast killed, H2873 (QalPerf) and not pitied. H2550 (QalPerf)
[22] Thou hast called H7121 (QalImpf) 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 (PielPerf) and brought up H7235 (PielPerf) hath
Mine enemy H341 (QalActPtc) consumed. H3615 (PielPerf)
