: Lamentations 1

 : 01 .  How <0349 >eyk > doth the city <5892 <iyr > sit <3427 
yashab > solitary <0910 badad > ,   [ that was ]  full <7227 rab 
> of people <5971 <am > !   [ how ]  is she become <1961 hayah > 
as a widow <0490 >almanah > !  she  [ that was ]  great <7227 
rab > among the nations <1471 gowy > ,   [ and ]  princess <8282 
sarah > among the provinces <4082 m@diynah > ,   [ how ]  is she 
become <1961 hayah > tributary <4522 mac > ! 

 : 02 She weepeth <1058 bakah > sore in the night <3915 layil > ,
  and her tears <1832 dim<ah >  [ are ]  on <5921 <al > her 
cheeks <3895 l@chiy > : among all <3605 kol > her lovers <0157 
>ahab > she hath none <0369 >ayin > to comfort <5162 nacham >  [ 
her ]  : all <3605 kol > her friends <7453 rea< > have dealt 
treacherously <0898 bagad > with her ,  they are become <1961 
hayah > her enemies <0341 >oyeb > . 

 : 03 Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > is gone into <1473 gowlah > 
captivity <1540 galah > because of affliction <6040 <oniy > ,  
and because of great <7230 rob > servitude <5656 <abodah > : she 
dwelleth <3427 yashab > among the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  she 
findeth <4672 matsa> > no <3808 lo> > rest <4494 manowach > : 
all <3605 kol > her persecutors <7291 radaph > overtook <5381 
nasag > her between <0996 beyn > the straits <4712 metsar > . 

 : 04 The ways <1870 derek > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > do mourn 
<57> ,  because none <1997 Hamownah > come <0935 bow> > to the 
solemn <4150 mow<ed > feasts <4150 mow<ed > : all <3605 kol > 
her gates <8179 sha<ar > are desolate <8076 shamem > : her 
priests <3548 kohen > sigh <0584 >anach > ,  her virgins <1330 
b@thuwlah > are afflicted <3013 yagah > ,  and she  [ is ]  in 
bitterness <4843 marar > . 

 : 05 Her adversaries <6862 tsar > are the chief <7218 ro>sh > , 
 her enemies <0341 >oyeb > prosper <7919 sakal > ;  for the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > hath afflicted <3013 yagah > her for the 
multitude <7230 rob > of her transgressions <6588 pesha< > : her 
children <5768 <owlel > are gone <1980 halak > into captivity 
<7628 sh@biy > before <6440 paniym > the enemy <6862 tsar > . 

 : 06 And from the daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > 
all <3605 kol > her beauty <1926 hadar > is departed <3318 
yatsa> > : her princes <8269 sar > are become <1961 hayah > like 
harts <0354 >ayal >  [ that ]  find <4672 matsa> > no <3808 lo> 
> pasture <4829 mir<eh > ,  and they are gone <3212 yalak > 
without <3808 lo> > strength <3581 koach > before <6440 paniym > 
the pursuer <7291 radaph > . 

 : 07 Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > remembered <2142 zakar > in 
the days <3117 yowm > of her affliction <6040 <oniy > and of her 
miseries <4788 maruwd > all <3605 kol > her pleasant <4262 
machmud > things that she had <1961 hayah > in the days <3117 
yowm > of old <6924 qedem > ,  when her people <5971 <am > fell 
<5307 naphal > into the hand <3027 yad > of the enemy <6862 tsar 
> ,  and none <0369 >ayin > did help <5826 <azar > her : the 
adversaries <6862 tsar > saw <7200 ra>ah > her ,   [ and ]  did 
mock <7832 sachaq > at <5921 <al > her sabbaths <4868 mishbath > 
. 

 : 08 Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > hath grievously <2399 chet> 
> sinned <2398 chata> > ;  therefore she is removed <5206 niydah 
> : all <3605 kol > that honoured <3513 kabad > her despise 
<2107 zuwl > her ,  because <3588 kiy > they have seen <7200 
ra>ah > her nakedness <6172 <ervah > : yea <1571 gam > ,  she 
sigheth <0584 >anach > ,  and turneth <7725 shuwb > backward 
<0268 >achowr > . 

 : 09 Her filthiness <2932 tum>ah >  [ is ]  in her skirts <7757 
shuwl > ;  she remembereth <2142 zakar > not her last <0319 
>achariyth > end ;  therefore she came <3381 yarad > down <3381 
yarad > wonderfully <6382 pele> > : she had no <0369 >ayin > 
comforter <5162 nacham > .  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  behold 
<7200 ra>ah > my affliction <6040 <oniy > : for the enemy <0341 
>oyeb > hath magnified <1431 gadal >  [ himself ]  . 

 : 10 The adversary <6862 tsar > hath spread <6566 paras > out 
his hand <3027 yad > upon all <3605 kol > her pleasant <4621 
ma<atsad > things : for she hath seen <7200 ra>ah >  [ that ]  
the heathen <1471 gowy > entered <0935 bow> > into her sanctuary 
<4720 miqdash > ,  whom <0834 >aher > thou didst command <6680 
tsavah >  [ that ]  they should not enter <0935 bow> > into thy 
congregation <6951 qahal > . 

 : 11 All <3605 kol > her people <5971 <am > sigh <0584 >anach > 
,  they seek <1245 baqash > bread <3899 lechem > ;  they have 
given <5414 nathan > their pleasant <4622 ma<tsowr > things for 
meat <0400 >okel > to relieve <7725 shuwb > the soul <5315 
nephesh > : see <7200 ra>ah > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and 
consider <5027 nabat > ;  for I am become <1961 hayah > vile 
<2151 zalal > . 

 : 12 .   [ Is it ]  nothing <3808 lo> > to you ,  all <3605 kol 
> ye that pass <5674<abar > by ?  behold <5027 nabat > ,  and 
see <7200 ra>ah > if <0518 >im > there be any sorrow <4341 
mak>ob > like unto my sorrow <4341 mak>ob > ,  which <0834 >aher 
> is done <5953 <alal > unto me ,  wherewith <0834 >aher > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath afflicted <3013 yagah >  [ me ]  in 
the day <3117 yowm > of his fierce <2740 charown > anger <0639 
>aph > . 

 : 13 From above <4791 marowm > hath he sent <7971 shalach > 
fire <0784 >esh > into my bones <6106 <etsem > ,  and it 
prevaileth <7287 radah > against them : he hath spread <6566 
paras > a net <7568 resheth > for my feet <7272 regel > ,  he 
hath turned <7725 shuwb > me back <0268 >achowr > : he hath made 
<5414 nathan > me desolate <8076 shamem >  [ and ]  faint <1738 
davah > all <3605 kol > the day <3117 yowm > . 

 : 14 The yoke <5923 <ol > of my transgressions <6588 pesha< > 
is bound <8244 saqad > by his hand <3027 yad > : they are 
wreathed <8276 sarag > ,   [ and ]  come <5927 <alah > up upon 
my neck <6677 tsavva>r > : he hath made my strength <3581 koach 
> to fall <3782 kashal > ,  the Lord <0136 >Adonay > hath 
delivered <5414 nathan > me into  [ their ]  hands <3027 yad > , 
  [ from whom ]  I am not able <3201 yakol > to rise <6965 quwm 
> up . 

 : 15 The Lord <0136 >Adonay > hath trodden <5541 calah > under 
foot <5541 calah > all <3605 kol > my mighty <47>  [ men ]  in 
the midst <7130 qereb > of me : he hath called <7121 qara> > an 
assembly <4150 mow<ed > against <5921 <al > me to crush <7665 
shabar > my young <0970 bachuwr > men : the Lord <0136 >Adonay > 
hath trodden <1869 darak > the virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > ,  the 
daughter <1323 bath > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,   [ as ]  in a 
winepress <1660 gath > . 

 : 16 For these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  I weep <1058 
bakah > ;  mine eye <5869 <ayin > ,  mine eye <5869 <ayin > 
runneth <3381 yarad > down with water <4325 mayim > ,  because 
<3588 kiy > the comforter <5162 nacham > that should relieve 
<7725 shuwb > my soul <5315 nephesh > is far <7368 rachaq > from 
me : my children <1121 ben > are desolate <8076 shamem > ,  
because <3588 kiy > the enemy <0341 >oyeb > prevailed <1396 
gabar > . 

 : 17 Zion <6726 Tsiyown > spreadeth <6566 paras > forth her 
hands <3027 yad > ,   [ and there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > to 
comfort <5162 nacham > her : the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath 
commanded <6680 tsavah > concerning Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,   [ 
that ]  his adversaries <6862 tsar >  [ should be ]  round <5439 
cabiyb > about him : Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > is as a 
menstruous <5079 niddah > woman among <0996 beyn > them . 

 : 18 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > ;  
for I have rebelled <4784 marah > against his commandment <6310 
peh > : hear <8085 shama< > ,  I pray <4994 na> > you ,  all 
<3605 kol > people <5971 <am > ,  and behold <7200 ra>ah > my 
sorrow <4341 mak>ob > : my virgins <1330 b@thuwlah > and my 
young <0970 bachuwr > men are gone <1980 halak > into captivity 
<7628 sh@biy > . 

 : 19 I called <7121 qara> > for my lovers <0157 >ahab > ,   [ 
but ]  they deceived <7411 ramah > me : my priests <3548 kohen > 
and mine elders <2205 zaqen > gave up the ghost <1478 gava< > in 
the city <5892 <iyr > ,  while <3588 kiy > they sought <1245 
baqash > their meat <0400 >okel > to relieve <7725 shuwb > their 
souls <5315 nephesh > . 

 : 20 Behold <7200 ra>ah > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  for I  [ 
am ]  in distress <6887 tsarar > : my bowels <4578 me<ah > are 
troubled <2560 chamar > ;  mine heart <3820 leb > is turned 
<2015 haphak > within <7130 qereb > me ;  for I have grievously 
<4784 marah > rebelled <4784 marah > : abroad <2351 chuwts > the 
sword <2719 chereb > bereaveth <7921 shakol > ,  at home <1004 
bayith >  [ there is ]  as death <4194 maveth > . 

 : 21 They have heard <8085 shama< > that I sigh <0584 >anach > :
  [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > to comfort <5162 nacham > me :
 all <3605 kol > mine enemies <0341 >oyeb > have heard <8085 
shama< > of my trouble <7451 ra< > ;  they are glad <7796 Sowreq 
> that thou hast done <6213 <asah >  [ it ]  : thou wilt bring 
<0935 bow> > the day <3117 yowm >  [ that ]  thou hast called 
<7121 qara> > ,  and they shall be like <3644 k@mow > unto me . 

 : 22 Let all <3605 kol > their wickedness <7451 ra< > come 
<0935 bow> > before <6440 paniym > thee ;  and do <5953 <alal > 
unto them ,  as thou hast done <5953 <alal > unto me for all 
<3605 kol > my transgressions <6588 pesha< > : for my sighs 
<0585 >anachah >  [ are ]  many <7227 rab > ,  and my heart 
<3820 leb >  [ is ]  faint <1742 davvay > . 

 : Lamentations 2

 : 01 .  How <0349 >eyk > hath the Lord <0136 >Adonay > covered 
<5743 <uwb > the daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > 
with a cloud <5743 <uwb > in his anger <0639 >aph > ,   [ and ]  
cast <7993 shalak > down from heaven <8064 shamayim > unto the 
earth <0776 >erets > the beauty <8597 tiph>arah > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > ,  and remembered <2142 zakar > not his 
footstool in the day <3117 yowm > of his anger <0639 >aph > ! 

 : 02 The Lord <0136 >Adonay > hath swallowed <1104 bala< > up 
all <3605 kol > the habitations <4999 na>ah > of Jacob <3290 
Ya<aqob > ,  and hath not pitied <2550 chamal > : he hath thrown 
<2040 harac > down <2040 harac > in his wrath <5678 <ebrah > the 
strong <4013 mibtsar > holds <4013 mibtsar > of the daughter 
<1323 bath > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ;  he hath brought <5060 
naga< >  [ them ]  down to the ground <0776 >erets > : he hath 
polluted <2490 chalal > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > and the 
princes <8269 sar > thereof . 

 : 03 He hath cut <1438 gada< > off in  [ his ]  fierce <2750 
choriy > anger <0639 >aph > all <3605 kol > the horn <7161 qeren 
> of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : he hath drawn <7725 shuwb > back 
<0268 >achowr > his right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > 
from before <6440 paniym > the enemy <0341 >oyeb > ,  and he 
burned <1197 ba<ar > against Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > like a 
flaming <3852 lehabah > fire <0784 >esh > ,   [ which ]  
devoureth <0398 >akal > round <5439 cabiyb > about . 

 : 04 He hath bent <1869 darak > his bow <7198 qesheth > like an 
enemy <0341 >oyeb > : he stood <5324 natsab > with his right 
<3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > as an adversary <6862 tsar > ,
  and slew <2026 harag > all <3605 kol >  [ that were ]  
pleasant <4622 ma<tsowr > to the eye <5869 <ayin > in the 
tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the daughter <1323 bath > of Zion 
<6726 Tsiyown > : he poured <8210 shaphak > out his fury <2534 
chemah > like fire <0784 >esh > . 

 : 05 The Lord <0136 >Adonay > was as an enemy <0341 >oyeb > : 
he hath swallowed <1104 bala< > up Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  he 
hath swallowed <1104 bala< > up all <3605 kol > her palaces 
<0759 >armown > : he hath destroyed <7843 shachath > his strong 
<4013 mibtsar > holds <4013 mibtsar > ,  and hath increased 
<7235 rabah > in the daughter <1323 bath > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > mourning <8386 ta>aniyah > and lamentation <0592 
>aniyah > . 

 : 06 And he hath violently <2554 chamac > taken away his 
tabernacle <7900 sok > ,  as  [ if it were of ]  a garden <1588 
gan > : he hath destroyed <7843 shachath > his places of the 
assembly <4150 mow<ed > : the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath caused 
the solemn <4150 mow<ed > feasts <4150 mow<ed > and sabbaths 
<7676 shabbath > to be forgotten <7911 shakach > in Zion <6726 
Tsiyown > ,  and hath despised <5006 na>ats > in the indignation 
<2195 za<am > of his anger <0639 >aph > the king <4428 melek > 
and the priest <3548 kohen > . 

 : 07 The Lord <0136 >Adonay > hath cast <2186 zanach > off his 
altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  he hath abhorred <5010 na>ar > his 
sanctuary <4720 miqdash > ,  he hath given <5462 cagar > up into 
the hand <3027 yad > of the enemy <0341 >oyeb > the walls <2346 
chowmah > of her palaces <0759 >armown > ;  they have made <5414 
nathan > a noise <6963 qowl > in the house <1004 bayith > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  as in the day <3117 yowm > of a solemn 
<4150 mow<ed > feast <4150 mow<ed > . 

 : 08 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath purposed <2803 chashab > to 
destroy <7843 shachath > the wall <2346 chowmah > of the 
daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > : he hath 
stretched <5186 natah > out a line <6957 qav > ,  he hath not 
withdrawn <7725 shuwb > his hand <3027 yad > from destroying 
<1104 bala< > : therefore he made the rampart <2426 cheyl > and 
the wall <2346 chowmah > to lament <56> ;  they languished <0535 
>amal > together <3162 yachad > . 

 : 09 Her gates <8179 sha<ar > are sunk <2883 taba< > into the 
ground <0776 >erets > ;  he hath destroyed <6> and broken <7665 
shabar > her bars <1280 b@riyach > : her king <4428 melek > and 
her princes <8269 sar >  [ are ]  among the Gentiles <1471 gowy 
> : the law <8451 towrah >  [ is ]  no <0369 >ayin >  [ more ]  ;
  her prophets <5030 nabiy> > also <1571 gam > find <4672 matsa> 
> no <3808 lo> > vision <2377 chazown > from the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > . 

 : 10 .  The elders <2205 zaqen > of the daughter <1323 bath > 
of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > sit <3427 yashab > upon the ground <0776 
>erets > ,   [ and ]  keep silence <1826 damam > : they have 
cast <5927 <alah > up dust <6083 <aphar > upon their heads <7218 
ro>sh > ;  they have girded <2296 chagar > themselves with 
sackcloth <8242 saq > : the virgins <1330 b@thuwlah > of 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > hang <3381 yarad > down <3381 
yarad > their heads <7218 ro>sh > to the ground <0776 >erets > . 

 : 11 Mine eyes <5869 <ayin > do fail <3615 kalah > with tears 
<1832 dim<ah > ,  my bowels <4578 me<ah > are troubled <2560 
chamar > ,  my liver <3516 kabed > is poured <8210 shaphak > 
upon the earth <0776 >erets > ,  for the destruction <7667 
sheber > of the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am > ; 
 because the children <5768 <owlel > and the sucklings <3243 
yanaq > swoon <5848 <ataph > in the streets <7339 r@chob > of 
the city <7151 qiryah > . 

 : 12 They say <0559 >amar > to their mothers <0517 >em > ,  
Where <0346 >ayeh >  [ is ]  corn <1715 dagan > and wine <3196 
yayin > ?  when they swooned <5848 <ataph > as the wounded <2491 
chalal > in the streets <7339 r@chob > of the city <5892 <iyr > ,
  when their soul <5315 nephesh > was poured <8210 shaphak > out 
into <0413 >el > their mothers <0517 >em >  bosom <2436 cheyq > .
 

 : 13 What <4100 mah > thing shall I take to witness <5749 <uwd 
> for thee ?  what <4100 mah > thing shall I liken <1819 damah > 
to thee ,  O daughter <1323 bath > of Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > ?  what <4100 mah > shall I equal <7737 shavah > 
to thee ,  that I may comfort <5162 nacham > thee ,  O virgin 
<1330 b@thuwlah > daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > 
?  for thy breach <7667 sheber >  [ is ]  great <1419 gadowl > 
like the sea <3220 yam > : who <4310 miy > can heal <7495 rapha> 
> thee ? 

 : 14 Thy prophets <5030 nabiy> > have seen <2372 chazah > vain 
<7723 shav> > and foolish <8602 taphel > things for thee : and 
they have not discovered <1540 galah > thine iniquity <5771 
<avon > ,  to turn <7725 shuwb > away thy captivity <7622 
sh@buwth > ;  but have seen <2372 chazah > for thee false <7723 
shav> > burdens <4864 mas>eth > and causes of banishment <4065 
madduwach > . 

 : 15 All <3605 kol > that pass <5674 <abar > by clap <5606 
caphaq >  [ their ]  hands <3709 kaph > at <5921 <al > thee ;  
they hiss <8319 sharaq > and wag <5128 nuwa< > their head <7218 
ro>sh > at <5921 <al > the daughter <1323 bath > of Jerusalem 
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,   [ saying ,  Is ]  this <2088 zeh > the 
city <5892 <iyr > that  [ men ]  call <0559 >amar > The 
perfection <3632 kaliyl > of beauty <3308 yophiy > ,  The joy 
<4885 masows > of the whole <3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets > ? 

 : 16 All <3605 kol > thine enemies <0341 >oyeb > have opened 
<6475 patsah > their mouth <6310 peh > against <5921 <al > thee :
 they hiss <8319 sharaq > and gnash <2786 charaq > the teeth 
<8127 shen > : they say <0559 >amar > ,  We have swallowed <1104 
bala< >  [ her ]  up : certainly <0389 >ak > this <2088 zeh >  [ 
is ]  the day <3117 yowm > that we looked <6960 qavah > for ;  
we have found <4672 matsa> > ,  we have seen <7200 ra>ah >  [ it 
]  . 

 : 17 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath done <6213 <asah >  [ that ] 
 which <0834 >aher > he had devised <2161 zamam > ;  he hath 
fulfilled <1214 batsa< > his word <0565 >imrah > that he had 
commanded <6680 tsavah > in the days <3117 yowm > of old <6924 
qedem > : he hath thrown <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > ,  and 
hath not pitied <2550 chamal > : and he hath caused  [ thine ]  
enemy <0341 >oyeb > to rejoice <8055 samach > over <5921 <al > 
thee ,  he hath set <7311 ruwm > up the horn <7161 qeren > of 
thine adversaries <6862 tsar > . 

 : 18 Their heart <3820 leb > cried <6817 tsa<aq > unto the Lord 
<0136 >Adonay > ,  O wall <2346 chowmah > of the daughter <1323 
bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ,  let tears <1832 dim<ah > run 
<3381 yarad > down like a river <5158 nachal > day <3119 yowmam

>al > rest <6314 puwgah > ;  let not the apple <1323 bath > of 
thine eye <5869 <ayin > cease <1826 damam > . 

 : 19 Arise <6965 quwm > ,  cry <7442 ranan > out in the night 
<3915 layil > : in the beginning <7218 ro>sh > of the watches 
<0821 >ashmurah > pour <8210 shaphak > out thine heart <3820 leb

paniym > of the Lord <0136 >Adonay > : lift <5375 nasa> > up thy 
hands <3709 kaph > toward <5921 <al > him for the life <5315 
nephesh > of thy young children ,  that faint <5848 <ataph > for 
hunger <7457 ra<eb > in the top <7218 ro>sh > of every <3605 kol

 : 20 Behold <7200 ra>ah > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and 
consider <5027 nabat >to whom <4310 miy > thou hast done <5953 
<alal > this <3541 koh > .  Shall the women <0802 >ishshah > eat 
<0398 >akal > their fruit <6529 p@riy > ,   [ and ]  children 
<5768 <owlel > of a span <2949 tippuch > long ?  shall the 
priest <3548 kohen > and the prophet <5030 nabiy> > be slain 
<2026 harag > in the sanctuary <4720 miqdash > of the Lord <0136 
>Adonay > ? 

 : 21 The young <5288 na<ar > and the old <2205 zaqen > lie 
<7901 shakab > on the ground <0776 >erets > in the streets <2351 
chuwts > : my virgins <1330 b@thuwlah > and my young <0970 
bachuwr > men are fallen <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 
chereb > ;  thou hast slain <2026 harag >  [ them ]  in the day 
<3117 yowm > of thine anger <0639 >aph > ;  thou hast killed 
<2873 tabach > ,   [ and ]  not pitied <2550 chamal > . 

 : 22 Thou hast called <7121 qara> > as in a solemn <4150 mow<ed

Y@hovah > anger <0639 >aph > none <3808 lo> > escaped nor 
remained <8300 sariyd > : those that I have swaddled <2946 
taphach > and brought <7235 rabah > up hath mine enemy <0341 
>oyeb > consumed <3615 kalah > . 

 : Lamentations 3

 : 01 .  I  [ am ]  the man <1397 geber >  [ that ]  hath seen 
<7200 ra>ah > affliction <6040 <oniy > by the rod <7626 shebet > 
of his wrath <5678 <ebrah > . 

 : 02 He hath led <5090 nahag > me ,  and brought <3212 yalak >  
[ me into ]  darkness <2822 choshek > ,  but not  [ into ]  
light <0216 >owr > . 

 : 03 Surely <0389 >ak > against me is he turned <7725 shuwb > ; 
 he turneth <7725 shuwb > his hand <3027 yad >  [ against me ]  
all <3605 kol > the day <3117 yowm > . 

 : 04 My flesh <1320 basar > and my skin <5785 <owr > hath he 
made old <1086 balah > ;  he hath broken <7665 shabar > my bones 
<6106 <etsem > . 

 : 05 He hath builded <1129 banah > against <5921 <al > me ,  
and compassed <5362 naqaph >  [ me ]  with gall <7219 ro>sh > 
and travail <3205 yalad > . 

 : 06 He hath set <3427 yashab > me in dark <4285 machshak > 
places ,  as  [ they that be ]  dead <4191 muwth > of old <5769 
<owlam > . 

 : 07 He hath hedged <1443 gadar > me about <1157 b@<ad > ,  
that I cannot <3808 lo> > get <3318 yatsa> > out : he hath made 
my chain <5178 n@chosheth > heavy <3513 kabad > . 

 : 08 Also <1571 gam > when <3588 kiy > I cry <2199 za<aq > and 
shout <7768 shava< > ,  he shutteth <5640 catham > out my prayer 
<8605 t@phillah > . 

 : 09 He hath inclosed <1443 gadar > my ways <1870 derek > with 
hewn <1496 gaziyth > stone <1496 gaziyth > ,  he hath made my 
paths <5410 nathiyb > crooked <5753 <avah > . 

 : 10 He  [ was ]  unto me  [ as ]  a bear <1677 dob > lying in 
wait <0693 >arab > ,   [ and as ]  a lion <0738 >ariy > in 
secret <4565 mictar > places . 

 : 11 He hath turned <5493 cuwr > aside my ways <1870 derek > ,  
and pulled <6582 pashach > me in pieces : he hath made <7760 
suwm > me desolate <8076 shamem > . 

 : 12 He hath bent <1869 darak > his bow <7198 qesheth > ,  and 
set <5324 natsab> me as a mark <4307 mattara> > for the arrow 
<2671 chets > . 

 : 13 He hath caused the arrows <2671 chets > of his quiver 
<0827 >ashpah > to enter <0935 bow> > into my reins <3629 kilyah 
> . 

 : 14 I was a derision <7814 s@chowq > to all <3605 kol > my 
people <5971 <am > ;   [ and ]  their song <5058 n@giynah > all 
<3605 kol > the day <3117 yowm > . 

 : 15 He hath filled <7646 saba< > me with bitterness <4844 
m@ror > ,  he hath made me drunken <7301 ravah > with wormwood 
<3939 la<anah > . 

 : 16 He hath also broken <1638 garac > my teeth <8127 shen > 
with gravel <2687 chatsats > stones <2687 chatsats > ,  he hath 
covered <3728 kaphash > me with ashes <0665 >epher > . 

 : 17 And thou hast removed <2186 zanach > my soul <5315 nephesh 
> far <2186 zanach > off from peace <7965 shalowm > : I forgat 
<5382 nashah > prosperity <2896 towb > . 

 : 18 And I said <0559 >amar > ,  My strength <5331 netsach > 
and my hope <8431 towcheleth > is perished <6> from the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > : 

 : 19 Remembering <2142 zakar > mine affliction <6040 <oniy > 
and my misery <4788 maruwd > ,  the wormwood <3939 la<anah > and 
the gall <7219 ro>sh > . 

 : 20 My soul <5315 nephesh > hath  [ them ]  still in 
remembrance <2142 zakar > ,  and is humbled <7743 shuwach > in 
me . 

 : 21 .  This <2063 zo>th > I recall <7725 shuwb > to my mind 
<3820 leb > ,  therefore have I hope <3176 yachal > . 

 : 22  [ It is of ]  the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > mercies <2617 
checed > that we are not consumed <8552 tamam > ,  because <3588 
kiy > his compassions <7355 racham > fail <3615 kalah > not . 

 : 23  [ They are ]  new <2319 chadash > every morning <1242 
boqer > : great <7227 rab >  [ is ]  thy faithfulness <0530 
>emuwnah > . 

 : 24 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ is ]  my portion <2506 cheleq 
> ,  saith <0559 >amar > my soul <5315 nephesh > ;  therefore 
will I hope <3176 yachal > in him . 

 : 25 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ is ]  good <2896 towb > unto 
them that wait <6960qavah > for him ,  to the soul <5315 nephesh 
>  [ that ]  seeketh <1875 darash > him . 

 : 26  [ It is ]  good <2896 towb > that  [ a man ]  should both 
hope <2342 chuwl > and quietly wait <1748 duwmam > for the 
salvation <8668 t@shuw<ah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 27  [ It is ]  good <2896 towb > for a man <1397 geber > that 
he bear <5375 nasa> > the yoke <5923 <ol > in his youth <5271 
na<uwr > . 

 : 28 He sitteth <3427 yashab > alone <0905 bad > and keepeth 
silence <1826 damam > ,  because <3588 kiy > he hath borne <5190 
natal >  [ it ]  upon him . 

 : 29 He putteth <5414 nathan > his mouth <6310 peh > in the 
dust <6083 <aphar > ;  if <0194 >uwlay > so be there may be hope 
<8615 tiqvah > . 

 : 30 He giveth <5414 nathan >  [ his ]  cheek <3895 l@chiy > to 
him that smiteth <5221 nakah > him : he is filled <7646 saba< > 
full <7646 saba< > with reproach <2781 cherpah > . 

 : 31 For the Lord <0136 >Adonay > will not cast <2186 zanach > 
off for ever <5769 <owlam > : 

 : 32 But though <0518 >im > he cause grief <3013 yagah > ,  yet 
will he have compassion <7355 racham > according to the 
multitude <7230 rob > of his mercies <2617 checed > . 

 : 33 For he doth not afflict <6031 <anah > willingly <3820 leb 
> nor grieve <3013 yagah > the children <1121 ben > of men <0376 
>iysh > . 

 : 34 To crush <1792 daka> > under <8478 tachath > his feet 
<7272 regel > all <3605 kol > the prisoners <0615 >aciyr > of 
the earth <0776 >erets > , 

 : 35 To turn <5186 natah > aside <5186 natah > the right <4941 
mishpat > of a man <1397 geber > before <5048 neged > the face 
<6440 paniym > of the most <5945 >elyown > High <5945 >elyown > ,
 

 : 36 To subvert <5791 <avath > a man <0120 >adam > in his cause 
<7379 riyb > ,  the Lord <0136 >Adonay > approveth <7200 ra>ah > 
not . 

 : 37 .  Who <4310 miy >  [ is ]  he  [ that ]  saith <0559 
>amar > ,  and it cometh <1961 hayah > to pass ,   [ when ]  the 
Lord <0136 >Adonay > commandeth <6680 tsavah >  [ it ]  not ? 

 : 38 Out of the mouth <6310 peh > of the most <5945 >elyown > 
High <5945 >elyown > proceedeth <3318 yatsa> > not evil <7451 
ra< > and good <2896 towb > ? 

 : 39 Wherefore <4100 mah > doth a living <2416 chay > man <0120 
>adam > complain <0596 >anan > ,  a man <1397 geber > for the 
punishment <2399 chet> > of his sins <2399 chet> > ? 

 : 40 Let us search <2664 chaphas > and try <2713 chaqar > our 
ways <1870 derek > ,  and turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > 
to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 41 Let us lift <5375 nasa> > up our heart <3824 lebab > with  
[ our ]  hands <3709 kaph > unto God <0410 >el > in the heavens 
<8064 shamayim > . 

 : 42 .  We have transgressed <6586 pasha< > and have rebelled 
<4784 marah > : thou hast not pardoned <5545 calach > . 

 : 43 Thou hast covered <5526 cakak > with anger <0639 >aph > ,  
and persecuted <7291 radaph > us : thou hast slain <2026 harag > 
,  thou hast not pitied <2550 chamal > . 

 : 44 Thou hast covered <5526 cakak > thyself with a cloud <6051 
<anan > ,  that  [ our ]  prayer <8605 t@phillah > should not 
pass <5674 <abar > through . 

 : 45 Thou hast made <7760 suwm > us  [ as ]  the offscouring 
<5501 c@chiy > and refuse <3973 ma>owc > in the midst <7130 
qereb > of the people <5971 <am > . 

 : 46 All <3605 kol > our enemies <0341 >oyeb > have opened 
<6475 patsah > their mouths <6310 peh > against <5921 <al > us . 

 : 47 Fear <6343 pachad > and a snare <6354 pachath > is come 
<1961 hayah > upon us ,  desolation <7612 she>th > and 
destruction <7667 sheber > . 

 : 48 Mine eye <5869 <ayin > runneth <3381 yarad > down with 
rivers <6388 peleg > of water <4325 mayim > for the destruction 
<7667 sheber > of the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 
<am > . 

 : 49 Mine eye <5869 <ayin > trickleth <5064 nagar > down ,  and 
ceaseth <1820 damah > not ,  without <0369 >ayin > any 
intermission <2014 haphugah > , 

 : 50 Till <5704 <ad > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > look <8259 
shaqaph > down ,  and behold <7200 ra>ah > from heaven <8064 
shamayim > . 

 : 51 Mine eye <5869 <ayin > affecteth <5953 <alal > mine heart 
<5315 nephesh > because of all <3605 kol > the daughters <1121 
ben > of my city <5892 <iyr > . 

 : 52 Mine enemies <0341 >oyeb > chased <6679 tsuwd > me sore ,  
like a bird<6833 tsippowr > ,  without <2600 chinnam > cause 
<2600 chinnam > . 

 : 53 They have cut <6789 tsamath > off my life <2416 chay > in 
the dungeon <0953 bowr > ,  and cast <3034 yadah > a stone <68> 
upon me . 

 : 54 Waters <4325 mayim > flowed <6687 tsuwph > over <5921 <al 
> mine head <7218 ro>sh > ;   [ then ]  I said <0559 >amar > ,  
I am cut <1504 gazar > off . 

 : 55 .  I called <7121 qara> > upon thy name <8034 shem > ,  O 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  out of the low <8482 tachtiy > dungeon 
<0953 bowr > . 

 : 56 Thou hast heard <8085 shama< > my voice <6963 qowl > : 
hide <5956 <alam > not thine ear <0241 >ozen > at my breathing 
<7309 r@vachah > ,  at my cry <7775 shav<ah > . 

 : 57 Thou drewest near <7126 qarab > in the day <3117 yowm >  [ 
that ]  I called <7121 qara> > upon thee : thou saidst <0559 
>amar > ,  Fear <3372 yare> > not . 

 : 58 O Lord <0136 >Adonay > ,  thou hast pleaded <7378 riyb > 
the causes <7379 riyb > of my soul <5315 nephesh > ;  thou hast 
redeemed <1350 ga>al > my life . 

 : 59 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  thou hast seen <7200 ra>ah > my 
wrong <5792<avvathah > : judge <8199 shaphat > thou my cause 
<4941 mishpat > . 

 : 60 Thou hast seen <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > their 
vengeance <5360 n@qamah >  [ and ]  all <3605 kol > their 
imaginations <4284 machashabah > against me . 

 : 61 Thou hast heard <8085 shama< > their reproach <2781 
cherpah > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ and ]  all <3605 kol > 
their imaginations <4284 machashabah > against <5921 <al > me ; 

 : 62 The lips <8193 saphah > of those that rose <6965 quwm > up 
against me ,  and their device <1902 higgayown > against <5921 
<al > me all <3605 kol > the day <3117 yowm > . 

 : 63 Behold <5027 nabat > their sitting <3427 yashab > down ,  
and their rising <7012 qiymah > up ;  I  [ am ]  their musick 
<4485 mangiynah > . 

 : 64 Render <7725 shuwb > unto them a recompence <1576 g@muwl > 
,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  according to the work <4639 ma<aseh 
> of their hands <3027 yad > . 

 : 65 Give <5414 nathan > them sorrow <4044 m@ginnah > of heart 
<3820 leb > , thy curse <8381 ta>alah > unto them . 

 : 66 Persecute <7291 radaph > and destroy <8045 shamad > them 
in anger <0639 >aph > from under <8478 tachath > the heavens 
<8064 shamayim > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : Lamentations 4

 : 01 .  How <0349 >eyk > is the gold <2091 zahab > become <6004 
<amam > dim <6004 <amam > !   [ how ]  is the most <2896 towb > 
fine gold <3800 kethem > changed <8132 shana > !  the stones 
<68> of the sanctuary <6944 qodesh > are poured <8210 shaphak > 
out in the top <7218 ro>sh > of every <3605 kol > street <2351 
chuwts > . 

 : 02 The precious <3368 yaqar > sons <1121 ben > of Zion <6726 
Tsiyown > ,  comparable <5577 cancin > to fine gold <6337 paz > ,
  how are they esteemed <2803 chashab > as earthen <2789 cheres 
> pitchers <5035 nebel > ,  the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the 
hands <3027 yad > of the potter <3335 yatsar > ! 

 : 03 Even <1571 gam > the sea monsters <8577 tanniyn > draw 
<2502 chalats > out the breast <7699 shad > ,  they give suck 
<3243 yanaq > to their young <1482 guwr > ones : the daughter 
<1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am >  [ is become ]  cruel 
<0393 >akzar > ,  like the ostriches <3283 ya<en > in the 
wilderness <4057 midbar > . 

 : 04 The tongue <3956 lashown > of the sucking <3243 yanaq > 
child cleaveth <1692 dabaq > to the roof <2441 chek > of his 
mouth <2441 chek > for thirst <6772 tsama> > : the young 
children <5768 <owlel > ask <7592 sha>al > bread <3899 lechem > ,
   [ and ]  no <0369 >ayin > man breaketh <6566 paras >  [ it ]  
unto them . 

 : 05 They that did feed <0398 >akal > delicately <4574 ma<adan 
> are desolate <8074 shamem > in the streets <2351 chuwts > : 
they that were brought <0539 >aman > up in scarlet <8144 shaniy 
> embrace <2263 chabaq > dunghills <0830 >ashpoth > . 

 : 06 For the punishment <5771 <avon > of the iniquity <5771 
<avon > of the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am > is 
greater <1431 gadal > than the punishment <2403 chatta>ah > of 
the sin of Sodom <5467 C@dom > ,  that was overthrown <2015 
haphak > as in a moment <7281 rega< > ,  and no <3808 lo> > 
hands <3027 yad > stayed <2342 chuwl > on her . 

 : 07 Her Nazarites <5139 naziyr > were purer <2141 zakak > than 
snow <7950 sheleg > ,  they were whiter <6705 tsachach > than 
milk <2461 chalab > ,  they were more ruddy <0119 >adam > in 
body <6106 <etsem > than rubies <6443 paniyn > ,  their 
polishing <1508 gizrah >  [ was ]  of sapphire <5601 cappiyr > : 

 : 08 Their visage <8389 to>ar > is blacker <2821 chashak > than 
a coal <7815 sh@chowr > ;  they are not known <5234 nakar > in 
the streets <2351 chuwts > : their skin <5785 <owr > cleaveth 
<6821 tsaphad > to their bones <6106 <etsem > ;  it is withered 
<3001 yabesh > ,  it is become <1961 hayah > like <3644 k@mow > 
a stick <6086 <ets > . 

 : 09  [ They that be ]  slain <2491 chalal > with the sword 
<2719 chereb > are better <2896 towb > than  [ they that be ]  
slain <2491 chalal > with hunger <7457 ra<eb > : for these <1992 
hem > pine <2100 zuwb > away ,  stricken <1856 daqar > through 
for  [ want of ]  the fruits <8570 t@nuwbah > of the field <7704 
sadeh > . 

 : 10 The hands <3027 yad > of the pitiful <7362 rachmaniy > 
women <0802 >ishshah > have sodden <1310 bashal > their own 
children <3206 yeled > : they were their meat <1262 barah > in 
the destruction <7667 sheber > of the daughter <1323 bath > of 
my people <5971 <am > . 

 : 11 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath accomplished <3615 kalah > 
his fury <2534 chemah > ;  he hath poured <8210 shaphak > out 
his fierce <2740 charown > anger <0639 >aph > ,  and hath 
kindled <3341 yatsath > a fire <0784 >esh > in Zion <6726 
Tsiyown > ,  and it hath devoured <0398 >akal > the foundations 
<3247 y@cowd > thereof . 

 : 12 The kings <4428 melek > of the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and 
all <3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the world 
<8398 tebel > ,  would not have believed <0539 >aman > that the 
adversary <6862 tsar > and the enemy <0341 >oyeb > should have 
entered <0935 bow> > into the gates <8179 sha<ar > of Jerusalem 
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim > . 

 : 13 .  For the sins <2403 chatta>ah > of her prophets <5030 
nabiy> > ,   [ and ]  the iniquities <5771 <avon > of her 
priests <3548 kohen > ,  that have shed <8210 shaphak > the 
blood <1818 dam > of the just <6662 tsaddiyq > in the midst 
<7130 qereb > of her , 

 : 14 They have wandered <5128 nuwa< >  [ as ]  blind <5787 
<ivver >  [ men ]  in the streets <2351 chuwts > ,  they have 
polluted <1351 ga>al > themselves with blood <1818 dam > ,  so 
that men could <3201 yakol > not touch <5060 naga< > their 
garments <3830 l@buwsh > . 

 : 15 They cried <7121 qara> > unto them ,  Depart <5493 cuwr > 
ye ;   [ it is ]  unclean <2931 tame> > ;  depart <5493 cuwr > , 
 depart <5493 cuwr > ,  touch <5060 naga< > not : when <3588 kiy 
> they fled <5132 nuwts > away and wandered <5128 nuwa< > ,  
they said <0559 >amar > among the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  They 
shall no <3808 lo> > more <3254 yacaph > sojourn <1481 guwr >  [ 
there ]  . 

 : 16 The anger <6440 paniym > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath 
divided <2505 chalaq > them ;  he will no <3808 lo> > more <3254 
yacaph > regard <5027 nabat > them : they respected <5375 nasa> 
> not the persons <6440 paniym > of the priests <3548 kohen > ,  
they favoured <2603 chanan > not the elders <2205 zaqen > . 

 : 17 As for us ,  our eyes <5869 <ayin > as yet <5750 <owd > 
failed <3615 kalah > for our vain <1892 hebel > help <5833 
<ezrah > : in our watching <6822 tsaphah > we have watched <6822 
tsaphah > for a nation <1471 gowy >  [ that ]  could not save 
<3467 yasha< >  [ us ]  . 

 : 18 They hunt <6679 tsuwd > our steps <6806 tsa<ad > ,  that 
we cannot <3808 lo> > go <3212 yalak > in our streets <7339 
r@chob > : our end <7093 qets > is near <7126 qarab > ,  our 
days <3117 yowm > are fulfilled <4390 male> > ;  for our end 
<7093 qets > is come <0935 bow> > . 

 : 19 Our persecutors <7291 radaph > are swifter <7031  qal > 
than the eagles <5404 nesher > of the heaven <8064 shamayim > : 
they pursued <1814 dalaq > us upon the mountains <2022 har > ,  
they laid wait <0693 >arab > for us in the wilderness <4057 
midbar > . 

 : 20 The breath <7307 ruwach > of our nostrils <0639 >aph > ,  
the anointed <4899 mashiyach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  
was taken <3920 lakad > in their pits <7825 sh@chiyth > ,  of 
whom <0834 >aher > we said <0559 >amar > ,  Under his shadow 
<6738 tsel > we shall live <2421 chayah > among the heathen 
<1471 gowy > . 

 : 21 .  Rejoice <7797 suws > and be glad <8056 sameach > ,  O 
daughter <1323 bath > of Edom <0123 >Edom > ,  that dwellest 
<3427 yashab > in the land <0776 >erets > of Uz <5780 <Uwts > ;  
the cup <3563 kowc > also <1571 gam > shall pass <5674 <abar > 
through unto thee : thou shalt be drunken <7937 shakar > ,  and 
shalt make thyself naked <6168 <arah > . 

 : 22 The punishment <5771 <avon > of thine iniquity <5771 <avon 
> is accomplished <8552 tamam > ,  O daughter <1323 bath > of 
Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ;  he will no <3808 lo> > more <3254 yacaph 
> carry <1540 galah > thee away into captivity <1540 galah > : 
he will visit <6485 paqad > thine iniquity <5771 <avon > ,  O 
daughter <1323 bath > of Edom <0123 >Edom > ;  he will discover 
<1540 galah > thy sins <2403 chatta>ah > . 

 : Lamentations 5

 : 01 .  Remember <2142 zakar > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  
what <4100 mah > is come <1961 hayah > upon us : consider <5027 
nabat > ,  and behold <7200 ra>ah > our reproach <2781 cherpah > 
. 

 : 02 Our inheritance <5159 nachalah > is turned <2015 haphak > 
to strangers <2114 zuwr > ,  our houses <1004 bayith > to aliens 
<5237 nokriy > . 

 : 03 We are orphans <3490 yathowm > and fatherless <3691 Kiclev 
> ,  our mothers <0517 >em >  [ are ]  as widows <0490 >almanah 
> . 

 : 04 We have drunken <8354 shathah > our water <4325 mayim > 
for money <3701 keceph > ;  our wood <6086 <ets > is sold unto 
us . 

 : 05 Our necks <6677 tsavva>r >  [ are ]  under <5921 <al > 
persecution <7291 radaph > : we labour <3021 yaga< > ,   [ and ] 
 have no <3808 lo> > rest <5117 nuwach > . 

 : 06 We have given <5414 nathan > the hand <3027 yad >  [ to ]  
the Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim > ,   [ and to ]  the Assyrians 
<0804 >Ashshuwr > ,  to be satisfied <7646 saba< > with bread 
<3899 lechem > . 

 : 07 Our fathers <1> have sinned <2398 chata> > ,   [ and are ] 
 not ;  and we have borne <5445 cabal > their iniquities <5771 
<avon > . 

 : 08 Servants <5650 <ebed > have ruled <4910 mashal > over us : 
 [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > that doth deliver <6561 paraq 
>  [ us ]  out of their hand <3027 yad > . 

 : 09 We gat <0935 bow> > our bread <3899 lechem > with  [ the 
peril of ]  our lives <5315 nephesh > because <6440 paniym > of 
the sword <2719 chereb > of the wilderness <4057 midbar > . 

 : 10 Our skin <5785 <owr > was black <3648 kamar > like an oven 
<8574 tannuwr > because <6440 paniym > of the terrible <2152 
zal<aphah > famine <7458 ra<ab > . 

 : 11 They ravished <6031 <anah > the women <0802 >ishshah > in 
Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ,   [ and ]  the maids <1330 b@thuwlah > in 
the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > . 

 : 12 Princes <8269 sar > are hanged <8518 talah > up by their 
hand <3027 yad > : the faces <6440 paniym > of elders <2205 
zaqen > were not honoured <1921 hadar > . 

 : 13 They took <5375 nasa> > the young <0970 bachuwr > men to 
grind <2911 t@chown > ,  and the children <5288 na<ar > fell 
<3782 kashal > under the wood <6086 <ets > . 

 : 14 The elders <2205 zaqen > have ceased <7673 shabath > from 
the gate <8179 sha<ar > ,  the young <0970 bachuwr > men from 
their musick <5058 n@giynah > . 

 : 15 The joy <4885 masows > of our heart <3820 leb > is ceased 
<7673 shabath > ;  our dance <4234 machowl > is turned <2015 
haphak > into mourning <60> . 

 : 16 The crown <5850 <atarah > is fallen <5307 naphal >  [ from 
]  our head <7218 ro>sh > : woe <0188 >owy > unto us ,  that we 
have sinned <2398 chata> > ! 

 : 17 .  For this <2088 zeh > our heart <3820 leb > is faint 
<1739 daveh > ;  for these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  our 
eyes <5869 <ayin > are dim <2821 chashak > . 

 : 18 Because <5921 <al > of the mountain <2022 har > of Zion 
<6726 Tsiyown > ,  which is desolate <8074 shamem > ,  the foxes 
<7776 shuw<al > walk <1980 halak > upon it . 

 : 19 Thou ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  remainest <3427 yashab > 
for ever <5769 <owlam > ;  thy throne <3678 kicce> > from 
generation <1755 dowr > to generation <1755 dowr > . 

 : 20 Wherefore <4100 mah > dost thou forget <7911 shakach > us 
for ever <5331 netsach > ,   [ and ]  forsake <5800 <azab > us 
so long <0753 >orek > time <3117 yowm > ? 

 : 21 Turn <7725 shuwb > thou us unto thee ,  O LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ,  and we shall be turned <7725 shuwb > ;  renew <2318 
chadash > our days <3117 yowm > as of old <6924 qedem > . 

 : 22 But thou hast utterly rejected <3988 ma>ac > us ;  thou 
art very wroth <7107 qatsaph > against <5921 <al > us .
