V.1 How hath the Lord 136 covered the daughter 1323 of Zion 6726 with a cloud 5743-55 in his anger, 639 [and] cast down 7993-52 from heaven 8064 unto the earth 776 the beauty 8597 of Israel, 3478 and remembered 2142-1 not his footstool 1916 7272 in the day 3117 of his anger! 639

2:2 The Lord 136 hath swallowed up 1104-14 all the habitations 4999 of Jacob, 3290 and hath not pitied: 2550-1 he hath thrown down 2040-1 in his wrath 5678 the strong holds 4013 of the daughter 1323 of Judah; 3063 he hath brought [them] down 5060-52 to the ground: 776 he hath polluted 2490- 14 the kingdom 4467 and the princes 8269 thereof.

2:3 He hath cut off 1438-1 in [his] fierce 2750 anger 639 all the horn 7161 of Israel: 3478 he hath drawn 7725-52 back 268 his right hand 3225 from before 6440 the enemy, 341-6 and he burned 1197-4 against Jacob 3290 like a flaming 3852 fire, 784 [which] devoureth 398-1 round about. 5439

2:4 He hath bent 1869-1 his bow 7198 like an enemy: 341-6 he stood 5324-12 with his right hand 3225 as an adversary, 6862 and slew 2026-4 all [that were] pleasant 4261 to the eye 5869 in the tabernacle 168 of the daughter 1323 of Zion: 6726 he poured out 8210-1 his fury 2534 like fire. 784

2:5 The Lord 136 was as an enemy: 341-6 he hath swallowed up 1104-14 Israel, 3478 he hath swallowed up 1104-14 all her palaces: 759 he hath destroyed 7843-14 his strong holds, 4013 and hath increased 7235-55 in the daughter 1323 of Judah 3063 mourning 8386 and lamentation. 592

2:6 And he hath violently taken away 2554-4 his tabernacle, 7900 as [if it were of] a garden: 1588 he hath destroyed 7843-14 his places of the assembly: 4150 the LORD 3068 hath caused the solemn feasts 4150 and sabbaths 7676 to be forgotten 7911-14 in Zion, 6726 and hath despised 5006-4 in the indignation 2195 of his anger 639 the king 4428 and the priest. 3548

2:7 The Lord 136 hath cast off 2186-1 his altar, 4196 he hath abhorred 5010-14 his sanctuary, 4720 he hath given up 5462-52 into the hand 3027 of the enemy 341-6 the walls 2346 of her palaces; 759 they have made 5414-1 a noise 6963 in the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 as in the day 3117 of a solemn feast. 4150

2:8 The LORD 3068 hath purposed 2803-1 to destroy 7843-53 the wall 2346 of the daughter 1323 of Zion: 6726 he hath stretched out 5186-1 a line, 6957 he hath not withdrawn 7725- 52 his hand 3027 from destroying: 1104-15 therefore he made the rampart 2426 and the wall 2346 to lament; 56-55 they languished 535-49 together. 3162

2:9 Her gates 8179 are sunk 2883-1 into the ground; 776 he hath destroyed 6-14 and broken 7665-14 her bars: 1280 her king 4428 and her princes 8269 [are] among the Gentiles: 1471 the law 8451 [is] no [more]; her prophets 5030 also find 4672-1 no vision 2377 from the LORD. 3068

2:10 The elders 2205 of the daughter 1323 of Zion 6726 sit 3427-4 upon the ground, 776 [and] keep silence: 1826-4 they have cast up 5927-52 dust 6083 upon their heads; 7218 they have girded 2296-1 themselves with sackcloth: 8242 the virgins 1330 of Jerusalem 3389 hang down 3381-52 their heads 7218 to the ground. 776

2:11 Mine eyes 5869 do fail 3615-1 with tears, 1832 my bowels 4578 are troubled, 2560-39 my liver 3516 is poured 8210-8 upon the earth, 776 for the destruction 7667 of the daughter 1323 of my people; 5971 because the children 5768 and the sucklings 3243-6 swoon 5848-9 in the streets 7339 of the city. 7151

2:12 They say 559-4 to their mothers, 517 Where [is] corn 1715 and wine? 3196 when they swooned 5848-99 as the wounded 2491 in the streets 7339 of the city, 5892 when their soul 5315 was poured out 8210-99 into their mothers' 517 bosom. 2436

2:13 What thing shall I take to witness 5749-55|5749-4-k for thee? what thing 4100 shall I liken 1819-17 to thee, O daughter 1323 of Jerusalem? 3389 what shall I equal 7737-55 to thee, that I may comfort 5162-17 thee, O virgin 1330 daughter 1323 of Zion? 6726 for thy breach 7667 [is] great 1419 like the sea: 3220 who can heal 7495-4 thee?

2:14 Thy prophets 5030 have seen 2372-1 vain 7723 and foolish things 8602 for thee: and they have not discovered 1540-14 thine iniquity, 5771 to turn away 7725-53 thy captivity; 7622|7622-k but have seen 2372-4 for thee false 7723 burdens 4864 and causes of banishment. 4065

2:15 All that pass by 5674-6 1870 clap 5606-1 [their] hands 3709 at thee; they hiss 8319-1 and wag 5128-55 their head 7218 at the daughter 1323 of Jerusalem, 3389 [saying, Is] this the city 5892 that [men] call 559-4 The perfection 3632 of beauty, 3308 The joy 4885 of the whole earth? 776

2:16 All thine enemies 341-6 have opened 6475-1 their mouth 6310 against thee: they hiss 8319-1 and gnash 2786-4 the teeth: 8127 they say, 559-1 We have swallowed [her] up: 1104- 14 certainly 389 this [is] the day 3117 that we looked for; 6960-14 we have found, 4672-1 we have seen 7200-1 [it].

2:17 The LORD 3068 hath done 6213-1 [that] which he had devised; 2161-1 he hath fulfilled 1214-14 his word 565 that he had commanded 6680-14 in the days 3117 of old: 6924 he hath thrown down, 2040-1 and hath not pitied: 2550-1 and he hath caused [thine] enemy 341-6 to rejoice 8055-17 over thee, he hath set up 7311-52 the horn 7161 of thine adversaries. 6862

2:18 Their heart 3820 cried 6817-1 unto the Lord, 136 O wall 2346 of the daughter 1323 of Zion, 6726 let tears 1832 run down 3381-54 like a river 5158 day 3119 and night: 3915 give 5414-4 thyself no rest; 6314 let not the apple 1323 of thine eye 5869 cease. 1826-4

2:19 Arise, 6965-3 cry out 7442-3 in the night: 3915 in the beginning 7218 of the watches 821 pour out 8210-3 thine heart 3820 like water 4325 before 5227 the face 6440 of the Lord: 136 lift up 5375-3 thy hands 3709 toward him for the life 5315 of thy young children, 5768 that faint 5848-7 for hunger 7458 in the top 7218 of every street. 2351

2:20 Behold, 7200-3 O LORD, 3068 and consider 5027-54 to whom thou hast done 5953-22 this. 3541 Shall the women 802 eat 398-4 their fruit, 6529 [and] children 5768 of a span long? 2949 shall the priest 3548 and the prophet 5030 be slain 2026-11 in the sanctuary 4720 of the Lord? 136

2:21 The young 5288 and the old 2205 lie 7901-1 on the ground 776 in the streets: 2351 my virgins 1330 and my young men 970 are fallen 5307-1 by the sword; 2719 thou hast slain 2026-1 [them] in the day 3117 of thine anger; 639 thou hast killed, 2873-1 [and] not pitied. 2550-1
