PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 [][]How does the city that was filled with people sit solitary! She is become as a widow: She that was magnified among the nations, [And] princess among the provinces, Has become tributary.
·
2 She weeps sore in the night, And her tears are on her cheeks; And there is none of all her lovers to comfort her: All that were her friends have dealt deceitfully with her, They are become her enemies.
·
3 Judea is gone into captivity by reason of her affliction, And by reason of the abundance of her servitude: She dwells among the nations, She has not found rest: All her pursuers have overtaken her between her oppressors.
·
4 The ways of Zion mourn, Because there are none that come to the feast: All her gates are ruined: Her priests groan, Her virgins are led captive, And she is in bitterness in herself.
·
5 Her oppressors are become the head, And her enemies have prospered; For the Lord has afflicted her Because of the multitude of her sins: Her young children are gone into captivity Before the face of the oppressor.
·
6 And all her beauty has been taken away From the daughter of Zion: Her princes were as rams finding no pasture, And are gone [away] in weakness Before the face of the pursuer.
·
7 Jerusalem remembered the days of her affliction, And her rejection; [She thought on] all her desirable things Which were from the days of old, When her people fell into the hands of the oppressor, And there was none to help her: When her enemies saw [it] They laughed at her habitation.
·
8 Jerusalem has sinned a [great] sin; Therefore has she come into tribulation, All that used to honor her have afflicted her, For they have seen her shame: Yea, she herself groaned, and turned backward.
·
9 Her uncleanness is before her feet; She remembered not her last end; She has lowered her boasting [tone], There is none to comfort her. Behold, O Lord, my affliction: For the enemy has magnified himself.
·
10 The oppressor has stretched out his hand On all her desirable things: For she has seen the Gentiles Entering into her sanctuary, [Concerning] whom thou didst command That they should not enter into thy congregation.
·
11 All her people groan, Seeking bread: They have given their desirable things for meat, To restore their soul: Behold, Lord, and look; For she is become dishonored.
·
12 All ye that pass by the way, Turn, and see if there is sorrow like to my sorrow, Which has happened [to me]. The Lord who spoke by me Has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
·
13 He has sent fire from his lofty habitation, He has brought it into my bones: He has spread a net for my feet, He has turned me back: He has made me desolate [And] mourning all the day.
·
14 He has watched over my sins, They are twined about my hands, They have come up on my neck: My strength has failed; For the Lord has laid pains on my hands, I shall not be able to stand.
·
15 The Lord has cut off All my strong men from the midst of me: He has summoned against me a time For crushing my choice men: The Lord has trodden a winepress For the virgin daughter of Judah: For these things I weep.
·
16 Mine eye has poured out water, Because he that should comfort me, That should restore my soul, Has been removed far from me: My sons have been destroyed, Because the enemy has prevailed.
·
17 Zion has spread out her hand, [And] there is none to comfort her: The Lord has commanded [concerning] Jacob, His oppressors are round about him: Jerusalem has become among them as a removed woman.
·
18 The Lord is righteous; For I have provoked his mouth: Hear, I pray you, all people, And behold my grief: My virgins and my young men Are gone into captivity.
·
19 I called my lovers, But they deceived me: My priests and my elders Failed in the city; For they sought meat That they might restore their souls, And found [it] not.
·
20 Behold, O Lord; for I am afflicted: My belly is troubled, And my heart is turned within me; For I have been grievously rebellious: Abroad the sword has bereaved me, Even as death at home.
·
21 Hear, I pray you, for I groan: There is none to comfort me: All mine enemies have heard [of] mine afflictions, And rejoice because thou hast done [it]: Thou hast brought on the day, Thou hast called the time: They are become like to me.
·
22 Let all their wickedness come before thy face; And strip them, as they have made a gleaning for all my sins: For my groans are many, And my heart is grieved.
·
