King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. How[H349] hath the Lord[H136] covered[H5743] [H853] the daughter[H1323] of Zion[H6726] with a cloud in his anger,[H639] and cast down[H7993] from heaven[H4480] [H8064] unto the earth[H776] the beauty[H8597] of Israel,[H3478] and remembered[H2142] not[H3808] his footstool[H1916] [H7272] in the day[H3117] of his anger![H639]

2. The Lord[H136] hath swallowed up[H1104] [H853] all[H3605] the habitations[H4999] of Jacob,[H3290] and hath not[H3808] pitied:[H2550] he hath thrown down[H2040] in his wrath[H5678] the strongholds[H4013] of the daughter[H1323] of Judah;[H3063] he hath brought them down[H5060] to the ground:[H776] he hath polluted[H2490] the kingdom[H4467] and the princes[H8269] thereof.

3. He hath cut off[H1438] in his fierce[H2750] anger[H639] all[H3605] the horn[H7161] of Israel:[H3478] he hath drawn[H7725] back[H268] his right hand[H3225] from before[H4480] [H6440] the enemy,[H341] and he burned[H1197] against Jacob[H3290] like a flaming[H3852] fire,[H784] which devoureth[H398] round about.[H5439]

4. He hath bent[H1869] his bow[H7198] like an enemy:[H341] he stood[H5324] with his right hand[H3225] as an adversary,[H6862] and slew[H2026] all[H3605] that were pleasant[H4261] to the eye[H5869] in the tabernacle[H168] of the daughter[H1323] of Zion:[H6726] he poured out[H8210] his fury[H2534] like fire.[H784]

5. The Lord[H136] was[H1961] as an enemy:[H341] he hath swallowed up[H1104] Israel,[H3478] he hath swallowed up[H1104] all[H3605] her palaces:[H759] he hath destroyed[H7843] his strongholds,[H4013] and hath increased[H7235] in the daughter[H1323] of Judah[H3063] mourning[H8386] and lamentation.[H592]

6. And he hath violently taken away[H2554] his tabernacle,[H7900] as if it were of a garden:[H1588] he hath destroyed[H7843] his places of the assembly:[H4150] the LORD[H3068] hath caused the solemn feasts[H4150] and sabbaths[H7676] to be forgotten[H7911] in Zion,[H6726] and hath despised[H5006] in the indignation[H2195] of his anger[H639] the king[H4428] and the priest.[H3548]

7. The Lord[H136] hath cast off[H2186] his altar,[H4196] he hath abhorred[H5010] his sanctuary,[H4720] he hath given up[H5462] into the hand[H3027] of the enemy[H341] the walls[H2346] of her palaces;[H759] they have made[H5414] a noise[H6963] in the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] as in the day[H3117] of a solemn feast.[H4150]

8. The LORD[H3068] hath purposed[H2803] to destroy[H7843] the wall[H2346] of the daughter[H1323] of Zion:[H6726] he hath stretched out[H5186] a line,[H6957] he hath not[H3808] withdrawn[H7725] his hand[H3027] from destroying:[H4480] [H1104] therefore he made the rampart[H2426] and the wall[H2346] to lament;[H56] they languished[H535] together.[H3162]

9. Her gates[H8179] are sunk[H2883] into the ground;[H776] he hath destroyed[H6] and broken[H7665] her bars:[H1280] her king[H4428] and her princes[H8269] are among the Gentiles:[H1471] the law[H8451] is no[H369] more; her prophets[H5030] also[H1571] find[H4672] no[H3808] vision[H2377] from the LORD.[H4480] [H3068]

10. The elders[H2205] of the daughter[H1323] of Zion[H6726] sit[H3427] upon the ground,[H776] and keep silence:[H1826] they have cast up[H5927] dust[H6083] upon[H5921] their heads;[H7218] they have girded[H2296] themselves with sackcloth:[H8242] the virgins[H1330] of Jerusalem[H3389] hang down[H3381] their heads[H7218] to the ground.[H776]

11. Mine eyes[H5869] do fail[H3615] with tears,[H1832] my bowels[H4578] are troubled,[H2560] my liver[H3516] is poured[H8210] upon the earth,[H776] for[H5921] the destruction[H7667] of the daughter[H1323] of my people;[H5971] because the children[H5768] and the sucklings[H3243] swoon[H5848] in the streets[H7339] of the city.[H7151]

12. They say[H559] to their mothers,[H517] Where[H346] is corn[H1715] and wine?[H3196] when they swooned[H5848] as the wounded[H2491] in the streets[H7339] of the city,[H5892] when their soul[H5315] was poured out[H8210] into[H413] their mothers'[H517] bosom.[H2436]

13. What thing[H4100] shall I take to witness[H5749] for thee? what thing[H4100] shall I liken[H1819] to thee, O daughter[H1323] of Jerusalem?[H3389] what[H4100] shall I equal[H7737] to thee, that I may comfort[H5162] thee, O virgin[H1330] daughter[H1323] of Zion?[H6726] for[H3588] thy breach[H7667] is great[H1419] like the sea:[H3220] who[H4310] can heal[H7495] thee?

14. Thy prophets[H5030] have seen[H2372] vain[H7723] and foolish things[H8602] for thee: and they have not[H3808] discovered[H1540] [H5921] thine iniquity,[H5771] to turn away[H7725] thy captivity;[H7622] but have seen[H2372] for thee false[H7723] burdens[H4864] and causes of banishment.[H4065]

15. All[H3605] that pass by[H5674] [H1870] clap[H5606] their hands[H3709] at[H5921] thee; they hiss[H8319] and wag[H5128] their head[H7218] at[H5921] the daughter[H1323] of Jerusalem,[H3389] saying, Is this[H2063] the city[H5892] that men call[H7945] [H559] The perfection[H3632] of beauty,[H3308] The joy[H4885] of the whole[H3605] earth?[H776]

16. All[H3605] thine enemies[H341] have opened[H6475] their mouth[H6310] against[H5921] thee: they hiss[H8319] and gnash[H2786] the teeth:[H8127] they say,[H559] We have swallowed her up:[H1104] certainly[H389] this[H2088] is the day[H3117] that we looked for;[H7945] [H6960] we have found,[H4672] we have seen[H7200] it.

17. The LORD[H3068] hath done[H6213] that which[H834] he had devised;[H2161] he hath fulfilled[H1214] his word[H565] that[H834] he had commanded[H6680] in the days[H4480] [H3117] of old:[H6924] he hath thrown down,[H2040] and hath not[H3808] pitied:[H2550] and he hath caused thine enemy[H341] to rejoice[H8055] over[H5921] thee, he hath set up[H7311] the horn[H7161] of thine adversaries.[H6862]

18. Their heart[H3820] cried[H6817] unto[H413] the Lord,[H136] O wall[H2346] of the daughter[H1323] of Zion,[H6726] let tears[H1832] run down[H3381] like a river[H5158] day[H3119] and night:[H3915] give[H5414] thyself no[H408] rest;[H6314] let not[H408] the apple[H1323] of thine eye[H5869] cease.[H1826]

19. Arise,[H6965] cry out[H7442] in the night:[H3915] in the beginning[H7218] of the watches[H821] pour out[H8210] thine heart[H3820] like water[H4325] before[H5227] the face[H6440] of the Lord:[H136] lift up[H5375] thy hands[H3709] toward[H413] him for[H5921] the life[H5315] of thy young children,[H5768] that faint[H5848] for hunger[H7458] in the top[H7218] of every[H3605] street.[H2351]

20. Behold,[H7200] O LORD,[H3068] and consider[H5027] to whom[H4310] thou hast done[H5953] this.[H3541] Shall the women[H802] eat[H398] their fruit,[H6529] and children[H5768] of a span long?[H2949] shall the priest[H3548] and the prophet[H5030] be slain[H2026] in the sanctuary[H4720] of the Lord?[H136]

21. The young[H5288] and the old[H2205] lie[H7901] on the ground[H776] in the streets:[H2351] my virgins[H1330] and my young men[H970] are fallen[H5307] by the sword;[H2719] thou hast slain[H2026] them in the day[H3117] of thine anger;[H639] thou hast killed,[H2873] and not[H3808] pitied.[H2550]

22. Thou hast called[H7121] as in a solemn[H4150] day[H3117] my terrors[H4032] round about,[H4480] [H5439] so that in the day[H3117] of the LORD's[H3068] anger[H639] none[H3808] escaped[H1961] [H6412] nor remained:[H8300] those that[H834] I have swaddled[H2946] and brought up[H7235] hath mine enemy[H341] consumed.[H3615]
