The ways[H1870] of Zion[H6726] do mourn,[H57] because none[H4480] [H1097] come[H935] to the solemn feasts:[H4150] all[H3605] her gates[H8179] are desolate:[H8074] her priests[H3548] sigh,[H584] her virgins[H1330] are afflicted,[H3013] and she[H1931] is in bitterness.[H4843]5. Her adversaries[H6862] are[H1961] the chief,[H7218] her enemies[H341] prosper;[H7951] for[H3588] the LORD[H3068] hath afflicted[H3013] her for[H5921] the multitude[H7230] of her transgressions:[H6588] her children[H5768] are gone[H1980] into captivity[H7628] before[H6440] the enemy.[H6862]6. And from[H4480] the daughter[H1323] of Zion[H6726] all[H3605] her beauty[H1926] is departed:[H3318] her princes[H8269] are become[H1961] like harts[H354] that find[H4672] no[H3808] pasture,[H4829] and they are gone[H1980] without[H3808] strength[H3581] before[H6440] the pursuer.[H7291]7.

Jerusalem[H3389] hath grievously sinned;[H2398] [H2399] therefore[H5921] [H3651] she is[H1961] removed:[H5206] all[H3605] that honored[H3513] her despise[H2151] her, because[H3588] they have seen[H7200] her nakedness:[H6172] yea,[H1571] she[H1931] sigheth,[H584] and turneth[H7725] backward.[H268]9.

Zion[H6726] spreadeth forth[H6566] her hands,[H3027] and there is none[H369] to comfort[H5162] her: the LORD[H3068] hath commanded[H6680] concerning Jacob,[H3290] that his adversaries[H6862] should be round about[H5439] him: Jerusalem[H3389] is[H1961] as a menstruous woman[H5079] among[H996] them.18. The LORD[H3068] is righteous;[H6662] for[H3588] I have rebelled[H4784] against his commandment:[H6310] hear,[H8085] I pray you,[H4994] all[H3605] people,[H5971] and behold[H7200] my sorrow:[H4341] my virgins[H1330] and my young men[H970] are gone[H1980] into captivity.[H7628]19. I called[H7121] for my lovers,[H157] but they[H1992] deceived[H7411] me: my priests[H3548] and mine elders[H2205] gave up the ghost[H1478] in the city,[H5892] while[H3588] they sought[H1245] their meat[H400] to relieve[H7725] [H853] their souls.[H5315]20. Behold,[H7200] O LORD;[H3068] for[H3588] I am in distress:[H6862] my bowels[H4578] are troubled;[H2560] mine heart[H3820] is turned[H2015] within[H7130] me; for[H3588] I have grievously rebelled:[H4784] [H4784] abroad[H4480] [H2351] the sword[H2719] bereaveth,[H7921] at home[H1004] there is as death.[H4194]21. They have heard[H8085] that[H3588] I[H589] sigh:[H584] there is none[H369] to comfort[H5162] me: all[H3605] mine enemies[H341] have heard[H8085] of my trouble;[H7451] they are glad[H7797] that[H3588] thou[H859] hast done[H6213] it: thou wilt bring[H935] the day[H3117] that thou hast called,[H7121] and they shall be[H1961] like unto me.[H3644]22. Let all[H3605] their wickedness[H7451] come[H935] before[H6440] thee; and do[H5953] unto them, as[H834] thou hast done[H5953] unto me for[H5921] all[H3605] my transgressions:[H6588] for[H3588] my sighs[H585] are many,[H7227] and my heart[H3820] is faint.[H1742]chapters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5Related links for : KJV_Strong (old testament) Lamentations1 Visit the collection of Bible Images with embedded verses: Related Links to information on the KJV Bible: Preface to the KJV 1611 edition Preface to KJV Strong Codes
