Lament over Jerusalem
|
||||
|
||||
# Chapter 1
|
||||
1. How she sits alone,
|
||||
the city once crowded with people!
|
||||
She who was great among the nations
|
||||
has become like a widow.
|
||||
|
||||
The princess among the provinces
|
||||
has been put to forced labor.
|
||||
|
||||
2. She weeps bitterly during the night,
|
||||
with tears on her cheeks.
|
||||
There is no one to offer her comfort,
|
||||
not one from all her lovers.
|
||||
|
||||
All her friends have betrayed her;
|
||||
they have become her enemies.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Judah has gone into exile
|
||||
following affliction and harsh slavery;
|
||||
she lives among the nations
|
||||
but finds no place to rest.
|
||||
|
||||
All her pursuers have overtaken her
|
||||
in narrow places.
|
||||
|
||||
4. The roads to Zion mourn,
|
||||
for no one comes to the appointed festivals.
|
||||
All her gates are deserted;
|
||||
her priests groan,
|
||||
her young women grieve,
|
||||
and she herself is bitter.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Her adversaries have become her masters;
|
||||
her enemies are at ease,
|
||||
for
|
||||
the
|
||||
Lord has made her suffer
|
||||
because of her many transgressions.
|
||||
|
||||
Her children have gone away
|
||||
as captives before the adversary.
|
||||
|
||||
6. All the splendor has vanished
|
||||
from Daughter Zion.
|
||||
|
||||
Her leaders are like stags
|
||||
that find no pasture;
|
||||
they stumble away exhausted
|
||||
before the hunter.
|
||||
|
||||
7. During the days of her affliction and homelessness
|
||||
Jerusalem remembers all her precious belongings
|
||||
that were hers in days of old.
|
||||
When her people fell into the adversary's hand,
|
||||
she had no one to help.
|
||||
The adversaries looked at her,
|
||||
laughing over her downfall.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Jerusalem has sinned grievously;
|
||||
therefore, she has become an object of scorn.
|
||||
All who honored her now despise her,
|
||||
for they have seen her nakedness.
|
||||
She herself groans and turns away.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Her uncleanness stains her skirts.
|
||||
She never considered her end.
|
||||
Her downfall was astonishing;
|
||||
there was no one to comfort her.
|
||||
|
||||
Lord, look on my affliction,
|
||||
for the enemy boasts.
|
||||
|
||||
10. The adversary has seized
|
||||
all her precious belongings.
|
||||
|
||||
She has even seen the nations
|
||||
enter her sanctuary--
|
||||
those you had forbidden
|
||||
to enter your assembly.
|
||||
|
||||
11. All her people groan
|
||||
while they search for bread.
|
||||
|
||||
They have traded their precious belongings for food
|
||||
in order to stay alive.
|
||||
|
||||
Lord, look and see
|
||||
how I have become despised.
|
||||
|
||||
12. Is this nothing to you, all you who pass by?
|
||||
Look and see!
|
||||
Is there any pain like mine,
|
||||
which was dealt out to me,
|
||||
which
|
||||
the
|
||||
Lord made me suffer
|
||||
on the day of his burning anger?
|
||||
|
||||
13. He sent fire from on high into my bones;
|
||||
he made it descend.
|
||||
He spread a net for my feet
|
||||
and turned me back.
|
||||
He made me desolate,
|
||||
sick all day long.
|
||||
|
||||
14. My transgressions have been formed into a yoke,
|
||||
fastened together by his hand;
|
||||
they have been placed on my neck,
|
||||
and
|
||||
the
|
||||
Lord has broken my strength.
|
||||
|
||||
He has handed me over
|
||||
to those I cannot withstand.
|
||||
|
||||
15. The
|
||||
Lord has rejected
|
||||
all the mighty men within me.
|
||||
He has summoned an army against me
|
||||
to crush my young warriors.
|
||||
The
|
||||
Lord has trampled Virgin Daughter Judah
|
||||
like grapes in a winepress.
|
||||
|
||||
16. I weep because of these things;
|
||||
my eyes flow with tears.
|
||||
For there is no one nearby to comfort me,
|
||||
no one to keep me alive.
|
||||
|
||||
My children are desolate
|
||||
because the enemy has prevailed.
|
||||
|
||||
17. Zion stretches out her hands;
|
||||
there is no one to comfort her.
|
||||
The
|
||||
Lord has issued a decree against Jacob
|
||||
that his neighbors should be his adversaries.
|
||||
|
||||
Jerusalem has become
|
||||
something impure among them.
|
||||
|
||||
18. The
|
||||
Lord is just,
|
||||
for I have rebelled against his command.
|
||||
Listen, all you people;
|
||||
look at my pain.
|
||||
|
||||
My young women and young men
|
||||
have gone into captivity.
|
||||
|
||||
19. I called to my lovers,
|
||||
but they betrayed me.
|
||||
|
||||
My priests and elders
|
||||
perished in the city
|
||||
while searching for food
|
||||
to keep themselves alive.
|
||||
|
||||
20.
|
||||
Lord, see how I am in distress.
|
||||
I am churning within;
|
||||
my heart is broken,
|
||||
for I have been very rebellious.
|
||||
Outside, the sword takes the children;
|
||||
inside, there is death.
|
||||
|
||||
21. People have heard me groaning,
|
||||
but there is no one to comfort me.
|
||||
All my enemies have heard of my misfortune;
|
||||
they are glad that you have caused it.
|
||||
Bring on the day you have announced,
|
||||
so that they may become like me.
|
||||
|
||||
22. Let all their wickedness come before you,
|
||||
and deal with them
|
||||
as you have dealt with me
|
||||
because of all my transgressions.
|
||||
For my groans are many,
|
||||
and I am sick at heart.

Judgment on Jerusalem
|
||||
|
||||
# Chapter 2
|
||||
1. How the Lord has overshadowed
|
||||
Daughter Zion with his anger!
|
||||
He has thrown down Israel's glory
|
||||
from heaven to earth.
|
||||
He did not acknowledge his footstool
|
||||
in the day of his anger.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Without compassion the Lord has swallowed up
|
||||
all the dwellings of Jacob.
|
||||
|
||||
In his wrath he has demolished
|
||||
the fortified cities of Daughter Judah.
|
||||
|
||||
He brought them to the ground
|
||||
and defiled the kingdom and its leaders.
|
||||
|
||||
3. He has cut off every horn of Israel
|
||||
in his burning anger
|
||||
and withdrawn his right hand
|
||||
in the presence of the enemy.
|
||||
|
||||
He has blazed against Jacob like a flaming fire
|
||||
that consumes everything.
|
||||
|
||||
4. He has strung his bow like an enemy;
|
||||
his right hand is positioned like an adversary.
|
||||
He has killed everyone who was the delight to the eye,
|
||||
pouring out his wrath like fire
|
||||
on the tent of Daughter Zion.
|
||||
|
||||
5.
|
||||
|
||||
The Lord is like an enemy;
|
||||
he has swallowed up Israel.
|
||||
|
||||
He swallowed up all its palaces
|
||||
and destroyed its fortified cities.
|
||||
|
||||
He has multiplied mourning and lamentation
|
||||
within Daughter Judah.
|
||||
|
||||
6. He has wrecked his temple
|
||||
as if it were merely a shack in a field,
|
||||
destroying his place of meeting.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Lord has abolished
|
||||
appointed festivals and Sabbaths in Zion.
|
||||
|
||||
He has despised king and priest
|
||||
in his fierce anger.
|
||||
|
||||
7.
|
||||
|
||||
The Lord has rejected his altar,
|
||||
repudiated his sanctuary;
|
||||
he has handed the walls of her palaces
|
||||
over to the enemy.
|
||||
|
||||
They have raised a shout in the house of the Lord
|
||||
as on the day of an appointed festival.
|
||||
|
||||
8.
|
||||
|
||||
The Lord determined to destroy
|
||||
the wall of Daughter Zion.
|
||||
He stretched out a measuring line
|
||||
and did not restrain himself from destroying.
|
||||
He made the ramparts and walls grieve;
|
||||
together they waste away.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Zion's gates have fallen to the ground;
|
||||
he has destroyed and shattered the bars on her gates.
|
||||
Her king and her leaders live among the nations,
|
||||
instruction is no more,
|
||||
and even her prophets receive
|
||||
no vision from the Lord.
|
||||
|
||||
10. The elders of Daughter Zion
|
||||
sit on the ground in silence.
|
||||
They have thrown dust on their heads
|
||||
and put on sackcloth.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The young women of Jerusalem
|
||||
have bowed their heads to the ground.
|
||||
|
||||
11. My eyes are worn out from weeping;
|
||||
I am churning within.
|
||||
My heart is poured out in grief
|
||||
because of the destruction of my dear people,
|
||||
because infants and nursing babies faint
|
||||
in the streets of the city.
|
||||
|
||||
12. They cry out to their mothers,
|
||||
"Where is the grain and wine?"
|
||||
as they faint like the wounded
|
||||
in the streets of the city,
|
||||
as their life pours out
|
||||
in the arms of their mothers.
|
||||
|
||||
13. What can I say on your behalf?
|
||||
What can I compare you to, Daughter Jerusalem?
|
||||
What can I liken you to,
|
||||
so that I may console you, Virgin Daughter Zion?
|
||||
For your ruin is as vast as the sea.
|
||||
|
||||
Who can heal you?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
14. Your prophets saw visions for you
|
||||
that were empty and deceptive;
|
||||
they did not reveal your iniquity
|
||||
and so restore your fortunes.
|
||||
|
||||
They saw pronouncements for you
|
||||
that were empty and misleading.
|
||||
|
||||
15. All who pass by
|
||||
scornfully clap their hands at you.
|
||||
They hiss and shake their heads
|
||||
at Daughter Jerusalem:
|
||||
Is this the city that was called
|
||||
the perfection of beauty,
|
||||
the joy of the whole earth?
|
||||
|
||||
16. All your enemies
|
||||
open their mouths against you.
|
||||
They hiss and gnash their teeth,
|
||||
saying, "We have swallowed her up.
|
||||
This is the day we have waited for!
|
||||
We have lived to see it."
|
||||
|
||||
17.
|
||||
|
||||
The Lord has done what he planned;
|
||||
he has accomplished his decree,
|
||||
which he ordained in days of old.
|
||||
He has demolished without compassion,
|
||||
letting the enemy gloat over you
|
||||
and exalting the horn of your adversaries.
|
||||
|
||||
18. The hearts of the people cry out to the Lord.
|
||||
Wall of Daughter Zion,
|
||||
let your tears run down like a river
|
||||
day and night.
|
||||
|
||||
Give yourself no relief
|
||||
and your eyes no rest.
|
||||
|
||||
19. Arise, cry out in the night
|
||||
from the first watch of the night.
|
||||
|
||||
Pour out your heart like water
|
||||
before the Lord's presence.
|
||||
|
||||
Lift up your hands to him
|
||||
for the lives of your children
|
||||
who are fainting from hunger
|
||||
at the head of every street.
|
||||
|
||||
20. Lord, look and consider
|
||||
to whom you have done this.
|
||||
Should women eat their own children,
|
||||
the infants they have nurtured?
|
||||
Should priests and prophets
|
||||
be killed in the Lord's sanctuary?
|
||||
|
||||
21. Both young and old
|
||||
are lying on the ground in the streets.
|
||||
|
||||
My young women and young men
|
||||
have fallen by the sword.
|
||||
You have killed them in the day of your anger,
|
||||
slaughtering without compassion.
|
||||
|
||||
22. You summon those who terrorize me on every side,
|
||||
as if for an appointed festival day;
|
||||
on the day of the Lord's anger
|
||||
no one escaped or survived.
|
||||
|
||||
My enemy has destroyed
|
||||
those I nurtured and reared.

Hope through God's Mercy
|
||||
|
||||
# Chapter 3
|
||||
1. I am the man who has seen affliction
|
||||
under the rod of God's wrath.
|
||||
|
||||
2. He has driven me away and forced me to walk
|
||||
in darkness instead of light.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Yes, he repeatedly turns his hand
|
||||
against me all day long.
|
||||
|
||||
4. He has worn away my flesh and skin;
|
||||
he has broken my bones.
|
||||
|
||||
5. He has laid siege against me,
|
||||
encircling me with bitterness and hardship.
|
||||
|
||||
6. He has made me dwell in darkness
|
||||
like those who have been dead for ages.
|
||||
|
||||
7. He has walled me in so I cannot get out;
|
||||
he has weighed me down with chains.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Even when I cry out and plead for help,
|
||||
he blocks out my prayer.
|
||||
|
||||
9. He has walled in my ways with blocks of stone;
|
||||
he has made my paths crooked.
|
||||
|
||||
10. He is a bear waiting in ambush,
|
||||
a lion in hiding.
|
||||
|
||||
11. He forced me off my way and tore me to pieces;
|
||||
he left me desolate.
|
||||
|
||||
12. He strung his bow
|
||||
and set me as the target for his arrow.
|
||||
|
||||
13. He pierced my kidneys
|
||||
with shafts from his quiver.
|
||||
|
||||
14. I am a laughingstock to all my people,
|
||||
mocked by their songs all day long.
|
||||
|
||||
15. He filled me with bitterness,
|
||||
satiated me with wormwood.
|
||||
|
||||
16. He ground my teeth with gravel
|
||||
and made me cower in the dust.
|
||||
|
||||
17. I have been deprived of peace;
|
||||
I have forgotten what prosperity is.
|
||||
|
||||
18. Then I thought, "My future is lost,
|
||||
as well as my hope from the Lord."
|
||||
|
||||
19. Remember my affliction and my homelessness,
|
||||
the wormwood and the poison.
|
||||
|
||||
20. I continually remember them
|
||||
and have become depressed.
|
||||
|
||||
21. Yet I call this to mind,
|
||||
and therefore I have hope:
|
||||
|
||||
22. Because of the Lord's faithful love
|
||||
we do not perish,
|
||||
for his mercies never end.
|
||||
|
||||
23. They are new every morning;
|
||||
great is your faithfulness!
|
||||
|
||||
24. I say, "The Lord is my portion,
|
||||
therefore I will put my hope in him."
|
||||
|
||||
25. The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
|
||||
to the person who seeks him.
|
||||
|
||||
26. It is good to wait quietly
|
||||
for salvation from the Lord.
|
||||
|
||||
27. It is good for a man to bear the yoke
|
||||
while he is still young.
|
||||
|
||||
28. Let him sit alone and be silent,
|
||||
for God has disciplined him.
|
||||
|
||||
29. Let him put his mouth in the dust--
|
||||
perhaps there is still hope.
|
||||
|
||||
30. Let him offer his cheek
|
||||
to the one who would strike him;
|
||||
let him be filled with disgrace.
|
||||
|
||||
31. For the Lord
|
||||
will not reject us forever.
|
||||
|
||||
32. Even if he causes suffering,
|
||||
he will show compassion
|
||||
according to the abundance of his faithful love.
|
||||
|
||||
33. For he does not enjoy bringing affliction
|
||||
or suffering on mankind.
|
||||
|
||||
34. Crushing all the prisoners of the land
|
||||
beneath one's feet,
|
||||
|
||||
35. denying justice to a man
|
||||
in the presence of the Most High,
|
||||
|
||||
36. or subverting a person in his lawsuit--
|
||||
the Lord does not approve of these things.
|
||||
|
||||
37. Who is there who speaks and it happens,
|
||||
unless the Lord has ordained it?
|
||||
|
||||
38. Do not both adversity and good
|
||||
come from the mouth of the Most High?
|
||||
|
||||
39. Why should any living person complain,
|
||||
any man, because of the punishment for his sins?
|
||||
|
||||
40. Let's examine and probe our ways,
|
||||
and turn back to the Lord.
|
||||
|
||||
41. Let's lift up our hearts and our hands
|
||||
to God in heaven:
|
||||
|
||||
42. "We have sinned and rebelled;
|
||||
you have not forgiven.
|
||||
|
||||
43. "You have covered yourself in anger and pursued us;
|
||||
you have killed without compassion.
|
||||
|
||||
44. You have covered yourself with a cloud
|
||||
so that no prayer can get through.
|
||||
|
||||
45. You have made us disgusting filth
|
||||
among the peoples.
|
||||
|
||||
46. "All our enemies
|
||||
open their mouths against us.
|
||||
|
||||
47. We have experienced panic and pitfall,
|
||||
devastation and destruction."
|
||||
|
||||
48. My eyes flow with streams of tears
|
||||
because of the destruction of my dear people.
|
||||
|
||||
49. My eyes overflow unceasingly,
|
||||
without end,
|
||||
|
||||
50. until the Lord looks down
|
||||
from heaven and sees.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
51. My eyes bring me grief
|
||||
because of the fate of all the women in my city.
|
||||
|
||||
52. For no reason, my enemies
|
||||
hunted me like a bird.
|
||||
|
||||
53. They smothered my life in a pit
|
||||
and threw stones on me.
|
||||
|
||||
54. Water flooded over my head,
|
||||
and I thought, "I'm going to die!"
|
||||
|
||||
55. I called on your name, Lord,
|
||||
from the depths of the pit.
|
||||
|
||||
56. You heard my plea:
|
||||
Do not ignore my cry for relief.
|
||||
|
||||
57. You came near whenever I called you;
|
||||
you said, "Do not be afraid."
|
||||
|
||||
58. You championed my cause, Lord;
|
||||
you redeemed my life.
|
||||
|
||||
59. Lord, you saw the wrong done to me;
|
||||
judge my case.
|
||||
|
||||
60. You saw all their vengefulness,
|
||||
all their plots against me.
|
||||
|
||||
61. Lord, you heard their insults,
|
||||
all their plots against me.
|
||||
|
||||
62. The slander and murmuring of my opponents
|
||||
attack me all day long.
|
||||
|
||||
63. When they sit and when they rise, look,
|
||||
I am mocked by their songs.
|
||||
|
||||
64. You will pay them back what they deserve, Lord,
|
||||
according to the work of their hands.
|
||||
|
||||
65. You will give them a heart filled with anguish.
|
||||
May your curse be on them!
|
||||
|
||||
66. You will pursue them in anger and destroy them
|
||||
under your heavens.

Terrors of the Besieged City
|
||||
|
||||
# Chapter 4
|
||||
1. How the gold has become tarnished,
|
||||
the fine gold become dull!
|
||||
The stones of the temple lie scattered
|
||||
at the head of every street.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Zion's precious children--
|
||||
once worth their weight in pure gold--
|
||||
how they are regarded as clay jars,
|
||||
the work of a potter's hands!
|
||||
|
||||
3. Even jackals offer their breasts
|
||||
to nurse their young,
|
||||
but my dear people have become cruel
|
||||
like ostriches in the wilderness.
|
||||
|
||||
4. The nursing baby's tongue
|
||||
clings to the roof of his mouth from thirst.
|
||||
Infants beg for food,
|
||||
but no one gives them any.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Those who used to eat delicacies
|
||||
are destitute in the streets;
|
||||
those who were reared in purple garments
|
||||
huddle in trash heaps.
|
||||
|
||||
6. The punishment of my dear people
|
||||
is greater than that of Sodom,
|
||||
which was overthrown in an instant
|
||||
without a hand laid on it.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Her dignitaries were brighter than snow,
|
||||
whiter than milk;
|
||||
their bodies were more ruddy than coral,
|
||||
their appearance like lapis lazuli.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Now they appear darker than soot;
|
||||
they are not recognized in the streets.
|
||||
Their skin has shriveled on their bones;
|
||||
it has become dry like wood.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Those slain by the sword are better off
|
||||
than those slain by hunger,
|
||||
who waste away, pierced with pain
|
||||
because the fields lack produce.
|
||||
|
||||
10. The hands of compassionate women
|
||||
have cooked their own children;
|
||||
they became their food
|
||||
during the destruction of my dear people.
|
||||
|
||||
11. The Lord has exhausted his wrath,
|
||||
poured out his burning anger;
|
||||
he has ignited a fire in Zion,
|
||||
and it has consumed her foundations.
|
||||
|
||||
12. The kings of the earth
|
||||
and all the world's inhabitants did not believe
|
||||
that an enemy or adversary
|
||||
could enter Jerusalem's gates.
|
||||
|
||||
13. Yet it happened because of the sins of her prophets
|
||||
and the iniquities of her priests,
|
||||
who shed the blood of the righteous within her.
|
||||
|
||||
14. Blind, they stumbled in the streets,
|
||||
defiled by this blood,
|
||||
so that no one dared
|
||||
to touch their garments.
|
||||
|
||||
15. "Stay away! Unclean!" people shouted at them.
|
||||
"Away, away! Don't touch us!"
|
||||
So they wandered aimlessly.
|
||||
It was said among the nations,
|
||||
"They can stay here no longer."
|
||||
|
||||
16. The Lord himself has scattered them;
|
||||
he no longer watches over them.
|
||||
The priests are not respected;
|
||||
the elders find no favor.
|
||||
|
||||
17. All the while our eyes were failing
|
||||
as we looked in vain for help;
|
||||
we watched from our towers
|
||||
for a nation that would not save us.
|
||||
|
||||
18. Our steps were closely followed
|
||||
so that we could not walk in our streets.
|
||||
Our end approached; our time ran out.
|
||||
Our end had come!
|
||||
|
||||
19. Those who chased us were swifter
|
||||
than eagles in the sky;
|
||||
they relentlessly pursued us over the mountains
|
||||
and ambushed us in the wilderness.
|
||||
|
||||
20. The Lord's anointed, the breath of our life,
|
||||
was captured in their traps.
|
||||
We had said about him,
|
||||
"We will live under his protection among the nations."
|
||||
|
||||
21. So rejoice and be glad, Daughter Edom,
|
||||
you resident of the land of Uz!
|
||||
Yet the cup will pass to you as well;
|
||||
you will get drunk and expose yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
22. Daughter Zion, your punishment is complete;
|
||||
he will not lengthen your exile.
|
||||
But he will punish your iniquity, Daughter Edom,
|
||||
and will expose your sins.
|
||||

Prayer for Restoration
|
||||
|
||||
# Chapter 5
|
||||
1. Lord, remember what has happened to us.
|
||||
Look, and see our disgrace!
|
||||
|
||||
2. Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
|
||||
our houses to foreigners.
|
||||
|
||||
3. We have become orphans, fatherless;
|
||||
our mothers are widows.
|
||||
|
||||
4. We must pay for the water we drink;
|
||||
our wood comes at a price.
|
||||
|
||||
5. We are closely pursued;
|
||||
we are tired, and no one offers us rest.
|
||||
|
||||
6. We made a treaty with Egypt
|
||||
and with Assyria, to get enough food.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Our ancestors sinned; they no longer exist,
|
||||
but we bear their punishment.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Slaves rule over us;
|
||||
no one rescues us from them.
|
||||
|
||||
9. We secure our food at the risk of our lives
|
||||
because of the sword in the wilderness.
|
||||
|
||||
10. Our skin is as hot as an oven
|
||||
from the ravages of hunger.
|
||||
|
||||
11. Women have been raped in Zion,
|
||||
virgins in the cities of Judah.
|
||||
|
||||
12. Princes have been hung up by their hands;
|
||||
elders are shown no respect.
|
||||
|
||||
13. Young men labor at millstones;
|
||||
boys stumble under loads of wood.
|
||||
|
||||
14. The elders have left the city gate,
|
||||
the young men, their music.
|
||||
|
||||
15. Joy has left our hearts;
|
||||
our dancing has turned to mourning.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
16. The crown has fallen from our head.
|
||||
Woe to us, for we have sinned.
|
||||
|
||||
17. Because of this, our heart is sick;
|
||||
because of these, our eyes grow dim:
|
||||
|
||||
18. because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate
|
||||
and has jackals prowling in it.
|
||||
|
||||
19. You, Lord, are enthroned forever;
|
||||
your throne endures from generation to generation.
|
||||
|
||||
20. Why do you continually forget us,
|
||||
abandon us for our entire lives?
|
||||
|
||||
21. Lord, bring us back to yourself, so we may return;
|
||||
renew our days as in former times,
|
||||
|
||||
22. unless you have completely rejected us
|
||||
and are intensely angry with us.
