26 And her gates shall lament and mourn;

empty, she shall sit on the ground.

1 And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach.”

26 And her gates shall lament and mourn;

And she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying,

We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel:

Only let us be called by thy name,

To take away our reproach.

26 The gates of Zion will weep and mourn.

The city will be like a ravaged woman,

huddled on the ground.

1 In that day so few men will be left that seven women will fight for each man, saying, “Let us all marry you! We will provide our own food and clothing. Only let us take your name so we won’t be mocked as old maids.”

26 Her gates shall lament and mourn,

And she being desolate shall sit on the ground.

1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying,

“We will eat our own food and wear our own apparel;

Only let us be called by your name,

To take away our reproach.”

26 There will be crying and sadness near the city gates.

Jerusalem will be like a woman who has lost everything and sits on the ground.

1 At that time seven women will grab one man

and say, “We will eat our own bread

and make our own clothes,

but please marry us!

Please, take away our shame.”

26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit upon the ground.

1 And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name; take thou away our reproach.

26 and her gates shall lament and mourn; and, stripped, she shall sit upon the ground.

1 And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, Our own bread will we eat, and with our own garments will we be clothed; only let us be called by thy name; —take away our reproach!

26 The gates of Zion will cry and grieve, 

and Zion will sit on the ground, exhausted. 

1 When that day comes, seven women will grab one man and say, 

“We’ll eat our own food and provide our own clothes. 

Just let us marry you for your name. 

Take away our disgrace.” 

26 Then her gates will lament and mourn;

deserted, she will sit on the ground.

1 On that day seven women

will seize one man, saying,

“We will eat our own bread

and provide our own clothing.

Just let us be called by your name.

Take away our disgrace.”

26 And her gates shall lament and mourn;

ravaged, she shall sit upon the ground.

1 Seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying,

“We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes;

just let us be called by your name;

take away our disgrace.”

26 And her gates shall lament and mourn,

and she shall be banished;

she shall sit upon the ground.

1 And seven women shall grasp at one man on that day, saying,

“We will eat our own bread,

and we will wear our own clothing;

only let us be called by your name!

Take away our disgrace!”

26 The city of Zion will be very sad.

Like a widow, she will lose everything.

She will sit on the ground and sob.

1 At that time seven women

will grab hold of one man.

They’ll say to him, “We will eat our own food.

We’ll provide our own clothes.

Just let us become your wives.

Take away our shame!”

26 And her gates will lament and mourn,

And deserted she will sit on the ground.

1 For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!”
