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and withdrawn his right hand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.
|
