# Lamentations 1 (New King James Version)
|
|
Jerusalem in Affliction
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 1
|
|
###### 1 How lonely sits the city
|
|
_That was_ full of people!
|
|
_How_ like a widow is she,
|
|
Who _was_ great among the nations!
|
|
The princess among the provinces
|
|
Has become a slave!
|
|
|
|
###### 2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
|
|
Her tears _are_ on her cheeks;
|
|
Among all her lovers
|
|
She has none to comfort _her._
|
|
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
|
|
They have become her enemies.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 Judah has gone into captivity,
|
|
Under affliction and hard servitude;
|
|
She dwells among the nations,
|
|
She finds no rest;
|
|
All her persecutors overtake her in dire straits.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 The roads to Zion mourn
|
|
Because no one comes to the set feasts.
|
|
All her gates are desolate;
|
|
Her priests sigh,
|
|
Her virgins are afflicted,
|
|
And she _is_ in bitterness.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Her adversaries have become the master,
|
|
Her enemies prosper;
|
|
For the Lord has afflicted her
|
|
Because of the multitude of her transgressions.
|
|
Her children have gone into captivity before the enemy.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 And from the daughter of Zion
|
|
All her splendor has departed.
|
|
Her princes have become like deer
|
|
_That_ find no pasture,
|
|
That flee without strength
|
|
Before the pursuer.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 In the days of her affliction and roaming,
|
|
Jerusalem remembers all her pleasant things
|
|
That she had in the days of old.
|
|
When her people fell into the hand of the enemy,
|
|
With no one to help her,
|
|
The adversaries saw her
|
|
_And_ mocked at her downfall.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 Jerusalem has sinned gravely,
|
|
Therefore she has become vile.
|
|
All who honored her despise her
|
|
Because they have seen her nakedness;
|
|
Yes, she sighs and turns away.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Her uncleanness _is_ in her skirts;
|
|
She did not consider her destiny;
|
|
Therefore her collapse was awesome;
|
|
She had no comforter.
|
|
"O Lord, behold my affliction,
|
|
For _the_ enemy is exalted!"
|
|
|
|
###### 10 The adversary has spread his hand
|
|
Over all her pleasant things;
|
|
For she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary,
|
|
Those whom You commanded
|
|
Not to enter Your assembly.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 All her people sigh,
|
|
They seek bread;
|
|
They have given their valuables for food to restore life.
|
|
"See, O Lord, and consider,
|
|
For I am scorned."
|
|
|
|
###### 12 "_Is it_ nothing to you, all you who pass by?
|
|
Behold and see
|
|
If there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
|
|
Which has been brought on me,
|
|
Which the Lord has inflicted
|
|
In the day of His fierce anger.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 "From above He has sent fire into my bones,
|
|
And it overpowered them;
|
|
He has spread a net for my feet
|
|
And turned me back;
|
|
He has made me desolate
|
|
_And_ faint all the day.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 "The yoke of my transgressions was bound;
|
|
They were woven together by His hands,
|
|
_And_ thrust upon my neck.
|
|
He made my strength fail;
|
|
The Lord delivered me into the hands of _those whom_ I am not able to withstand.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 "The Lord has trampled underfoot all my mighty _men_ in my midst;
|
|
He has called an assembly against me
|
|
To crush my young men;
|
|
The Lord trampled _as_ in a winepress
|
|
The virgin daughter of Judah.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 "For these _things_ I weep;
|
|
My eye, my eye overflows with water;
|
|
Because the comforter, who should restore my life,
|
|
Is far from me.
|
|
My children are desolate
|
|
Because the enemy prevailed."
|
|
|
|
###### 17 Zion spreads out her hands,
|
|
_But_ no one comforts her;
|
|
The Lord has commanded concerning Jacob
|
|
_That_ those around him _become_ his adversaries;
|
|
Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 "The Lord is righteous,
|
|
For I rebelled against His commandment.
|
|
Hear now, all peoples,
|
|
And behold my sorrow;
|
|
My virgins and my young men
|
|
Have gone into captivity.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 "I called for my lovers,
|
|
_But_ they deceived me;
|
|
My priests and my elders
|
|
Breathed their last in the city,
|
|
While they sought food
|
|
To restore their life.
|
|
|
|
###### 20 "See, O Lord, that I _am_ in distress;
|
|
My soul is troubled;
|
|
My heart is overturned within me,
|
|
For I have been very rebellious.
|
|
Outside the sword bereaves,
|
|
At home _it is_ like death.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 "They have heard that I sigh,
|
|
_But_ no one comforts me.
|
|
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
|
|
They are glad that You have done _it._
|
|
Bring on the day You have announced,
|
|
That they may become like me.
|
|
|
|
###### 22 "Let all their wickedness come before You,
|
|
And do to them as You have done to me
|
|
For all my transgressions;
|
|
For my sighs _are_ many,
|
|
And my heart _is_ faint."
