1 How the Lord has acovered the daughter of Zion
With a cloud in His anger!
He has bcast from heaven to earth
The cglory of Israel,
And has not remembered His dfootstool
In the day of His anger.
2 The Lord has aswallowed up; He has not spared
All the habitations of Jacob.
In His wrath He has bthrown down
The strongholds of the daughter of Judah;
He has cbrought them down to the ground;
He has dprofaned the kingdom and its princes.
3 In fierce anger He has cut off
He has bdrawn back His right hand
From before the enemy.
And He has cburned in Jacob like a flaming fire
Consuming round about.
4 He has bent His abow like an enemy;
He has set His right hand like an adversary
And slain all that were bpleasant to the eye;
In the tent of the daughter of Zion
He has cpoured out His wrath like fire.
5 The Lord has become like an aenemy.
He has bswallowed up Israel;
He has swallowed up all its cpalaces,
He has destroyed its strongholds
And dmultiplied in the daughter of Judah
Mourning and moaning.
6 And He has violently treated His 1tabernacle like a garden booth;
He has adestroyed His appointed 2meeting place.
The Lord has bcaused to be forgotten
The appointed feast and sabbath in Zion,
And He has cdespised king and priest
In the indignation of His anger.
7 The Lord has arejected His altar,
He has abandoned His sanctuary;
He bhas delivered into the hand of the enemy
The walls of her palaces.
They have made a cnoise in the house of the Lord
As in the day of an appointed feast.
8 The Lord 1determined to destroy
The wall of the daughter of Zion.
He has astretched out a line,
He has not restrained His hand from 2destroying,
And He has bcaused rampart and wall to lament;
They have languished together.
9 Her agates have sunk into the ground,
He has destroyed and broken her bars.
Her king and her princes are among the nations;
The blaw is no more.
Also, her prophets find
cNo vision from the Lord.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion
aSit on the ground, they bare silent.
They have thrown cdust on their heads;
They have girded themselves with dsackcloth.
The evirgins of Jerusalem
Have bowed their heads to the ground.
11 My aeyes fail because of tears,
My 1bspirit is greatly troubled;
My 2cheart is poured out on the earth
dBecause of the 3destruction of the daughter of my people,
When elittle ones and infants faint
In the streets of the city.
“aWhere is grain and wine?”
As they faint like a wounded man
In the streets of the city,
As their blife is poured out
On their mothers’ bosom.
To what ashall I compare you,
O daughter of Jerusalem?
To what shall I liken you as I comfort you,
O bvirgin daughter of Zion?
For your 1ruin is as vast as the sea;
Who can cheal you?
14 Your aprophets have seen for you
False and foolish visions;
And they have not bexposed your iniquity
So as to restore you from captivity,
But they have cseen for you false and misleading 1oracles.
aClap their hands in derision at you;
They bhiss and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem,
“Is this the city of which they said,
‘cThe perfection of beauty,
dA joy to all the earth’?”
16 All ayour enemies
Have opened their mouths wide against you;
They hiss and bgnash their teeth.
They say, “We have cswallowed her up!
Surely this is the dday for which we waited;
We have reached it, we have seen it.”
17 The Lord has adone what He purposed;
He has accomplished His word
Which He commanded from days of old.
He has thrown down bwithout sparing,
And He has caused the enemy to crejoice over you;
He has dexalted the 1might of your adversaries.
18 Their aheart cried out to the Lord,
“O bwall of the daughter of Zion,
Let your ctears run down like a river day and night;
Give yourself no relief,
Let 1your eyes have no rest.
19 “Arise, cry aloud in the anight
At the beginning of the night watches;
bPour out your heart like water
Before the presence of the Lord;
Lift up your hands to Him
For the clife of your little ones
Who are dfaint because of hunger
At the head of every street.”
With awhom have You dealt thus?
Should women beat their 1offspring,
The little ones who were 2born healthy?
Should cpriest and prophet be slain
In the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 On the ground in the streets
Lie ayoung and old;
My bvirgins and my young men
Have fallen by the sword.
You have slain them in the day of Your anger,
You have slaughtered, cnot sparing.
22 You called as in the day of an appointed feast
My aterrors on every side;
And there was bno one who escaped or survived
In the day of the Lord’s anger.
Those cwhom I 1bore and reared,
My enemy annihilated them.
Jeremiah Shares Israel’s Affliction
1 I am the man who has aseen affliction
Because of the rod of His wrath.
2 He has driven me and made me walk
In adarkness and not in light.
3 Surely against me He has aturned His hand
Repeatedly all the day.
4 He has caused my aflesh and my skin to waste away,
He has bbroken my bones.
5 He has abesieged and encompassed me with bbitterness and hardship.
6 In adark places He has made me dwell,
Like those who have long been dead.
7 He has awalled me in so that I cannot go out;
8 Even when I cry out and call for help,
He ashuts out my prayer.
9 He has ablocked my ways with hewn stone;
He has made my paths crooked.
10 He is to me like a bear lying in wait,
Like a lion in secret places.
11 He has turned aside my ways and atorn me to pieces;
He has made me desolate.
12 He abent His bow
And bset me as a target for the arrow.
13 He made the 1arrows of His aquiver
To enter into my 2inward parts.
14 I have become a alaughingstock to all my people,
Their mocking bsong all the day.
15 He has afilled me with bitterness,
He has made me drunk with wormwood.
16 He has abroken my teeth with bgravel;
He has made me cower in the cdust.
17 My soul has been rejected afrom peace;
I have forgotten 1happiness.
18 So I say, “My strength has perished,
And so has my ahope from the Lord.”
19 Remember my affliction and my 1wandering, the awormwood and bitterness.
20 Surely amy soul remembers
And is bbowed down within me.
Therefore I have ahope.
22 The Lord’s alovingkindnesses 1indeed never cease,
bFor His compassions never fail.
23 They are new aevery morning;
Great is bYour faithfulness.
24 “The Lord is my aportion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I bhave hope in Him.”
25 The Lord is good to those who await for Him,
To the 1person who bseeks Him.
26 It is good that he awaits silently
For the salvation of the Lord.
27 It is good for a man that he should bear
The yoke in his youth.
28 Let him asit alone and be silent
Since He has laid it on him.
29 Let him 1put his mouth in the adust,
Perhaps there is bhope.
30 Let him give his acheek to 1the smiter,
Let him be filled with reproach.
31 For the Lord will anot reject forever,
Then He will have acompassion
According to His abundant lovingkindness.
33 For He adoes not afflict 1willingly
Or grieve the sons of men.
All the prisoners of the 1land,
35 To 1deprive a man of ajustice
In the presence of the Most High,
36 To 1adefraud a man in his lawsuit—
Of these things the Lord does not 2approve.
37 Who is 1there who speaks and it acomes to pass,
Unless the Lord has commanded it?
38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
That 1aboth good and ill go forth?
39 Why should any living 1mortal, or any man,
Offer acomplaint 2in view of his sins?
40 Let us aexamine and probe our ways,
And let us return to the Lord.
41 We alift up our heart 1and hands
Toward God in heaven;
42 We have atransgressed and rebelled,
You have bnot pardoned.
43 You have covered Yourself with aanger
And bpursued us;
You have slain and chave not spared.
44 You have acovered Yourself with a cloud
So that bno prayer can pass through.
45 You have made us mere aoffscouring and refuse
In the midst of the peoples.
46 All our enemies have aopened their mouths against us.
47 aPanic and pitfall have befallen us,
Devastation and destruction;
48 My 1aeyes run down with streams of water
Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 My eyes pour down aunceasingly,
Without stopping,
50 Until the Lord alooks down
And sees from heaven.
51 My eyes bring pain to my soul
Because of all the daughters of my city.
52 My enemies awithout cause
Hunted me down blike a bird;
53 They have silenced 1me ain the pit
And have 2bplaced a stone on me.
54 Waters flowed aover my head;
I said, “I am cut off!”
55 I acalled on Your name, O Lord,
Out of the lowest pit.
56 You have aheard my voice,
“bDo not hide Your ear from my prayer for relief,
From my cry for help.”
57 You adrew near when I called on You;
You said, “bDo not fear!”
58 O Lord, You ahave pleaded my soul’s cause;
You have bredeemed my life.
59 O Lord, You have aseen my oppression;
bJudge my case.
60 You have seen all their vengeance,
All their aschemes against me.
61 You have heard their areproach, O Lord,
All their schemes against me.
62 The alips of my assailants and their whispering
Are against me all day long.
63 Look on their asitting and their rising;
bI am their mocking song.
64 You will arecompense them, O Lord,
According to the work of their hands.
65 You will give them 1ahardness of heart,
Your curse will be on them.
66 You will apursue them in anger and destroy them
From under the bheavens of the Lord!
Distress of the Siege Described
1 How adark the gold has become,
How the pure gold has changed!
The sacred stones are poured out
At the 1corner of every street.
Weighed against fine gold,
How they are regarded as aearthen jars,
The work of a potter’s hands!
3 Even ajackals offer the breast,
They nurse their young;
But the daughter of my people has become bcruel
Like costriches in the wilderness.
4 The atongue of the infant cleaves
To the roof of its mouth because of bthirst;
The little ones cask for bread,
But no one breaks it for them.
5 Those who ate adelicacies
Are desolate in the streets;
Those 1reared in purple
Embrace ash pits.
6 For the 1iniquity of the daughter of my people
Is greater than the 2asin of Sodom,
Which was boverthrown as in a moment,
And no hands were 3turned toward her.
7 Her 1consecrated ones were apurer than snow,
They were whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in 2body than corals,
Their polishing was like 3blapis lazuli.
8 Their appearance is ablacker than soot,
They are not recognized in the streets;
Their bskin is shriveled on their bones,
It is withered, it has become like wood.
9 Better are those 1aslain with the sword
Than those 1slain with hunger;
For they 2bpine away, being stricken
For lack of the fruits of 3the field.
10 The hands of compassionate women
aBoiled their own children;
They became bfood for them
Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11 The Lord has aaccomplished His wrath,
He has poured out His fierce anger;
And He has bkindled a fire in Zion
Which has consumed its foundations.
12 The kings of the earth did not believe,
Nor did any of athe inhabitants of the world,
That the adversary and the enemy
Could benter the gates of Jerusalem.
13 Because of the sins of her aprophets
And the iniquities of her priests,
Who have shed in her midst
The bblood of the righteous;
14 They wandered, ablind, in the streets;
They were defiled with bblood
So that no one could touch their cgarments.
15 “Depart! aUnclean!” 1they cried of themselves.
“Depart, depart, do not touch!”
So they bfled and wandered;
Men among the nations said,
“They shall not continue to dwell with us.”
16 The presence of the Lord has scattered them,
He will not continue to regard them;
They did not 1ahonor the priests,
They did not favor the elders.
Looking for 1help was auseless;
In our watching we have watched
For a bnation that could not save.
18 They ahunted our steps
So that we could not walk in our streets;
Our bend drew near,
Our days were 1finished
For our end had come.
19 Our pursuers were aswifter
Than the eagles of the sky;
They chased us on the mountains,
They waited in ambush for us in the wilderness.
20 The abreath of our nostrils, the bLord’s anointed,
Was ccaptured in their pits,
Of whom we had said, “Under his dshadow
We shall live among the nations.”
21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of aEdom,
Who dwells in the land of Uz;
But the bcup will come around to you as well,
You will become drunk and make yourself naked.
22 The punishment of your iniquity has been acompleted, O daughter of Zion;
He will exile you no longer.
But He bwill punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom;
He will expose your sins!
