2. The precious[H3368] sons[H1121] of Zion,[H6726] comparable[H5537] to fine gold,[H6337] how[H349] are they esteemed[H2803] as earthen[H2789] pitchers,[H5035] the work[H4639] of the hands[H3027] of the potter![H3335]

3. Even[H1571] the sea monsters[H8565] draw out[H2502] the breast,[H7699] they give suck[H3243] to their young ones:[H1482] the daughter[H1323] of my people[H5971] is become cruel,[H393] like the ostriches[H3283] in the wilderness.[H4057]

4. The tongue[H3956] of the sucking child[H3243] cleaveth[H1692] to[H413] the roof of his mouth[H2441] for thirst:[H6772] the young children[H5768] ask[H7592] bread,[H3899] and no man[H369] breaketh[H6566] it unto them.

5. They that did feed[H398] delicately[H4574] are desolate[H8074] in the streets:[H2351] they that were brought up[H539] in[H5921] scarlet[H8438] embrace[H2263] dunghills.[H830]

6. For the punishment of the iniquity[H5771] of the daughter[H1323] of my people[H5971] is greater[H1431] than the punishment of the sin[H4480] [H2403] of Sodom,[H5467] that was overthrown[H2015] as in[H3644] a moment,[H7281] and no[H3808] hands[H3027] stayed[H2342] on her.

8. Their visage[H8389] is blacker[H2821] than a coal;[H4480] [H7815] they are not[H3808] known[H5234] in the streets:[H2351] their skin[H5785] cleaveth[H6821] to[H5921] their bones;[H6106] it is withered,[H3001] it is become[H1961] like a stick.[H6086]

9. They that be slain[H2491] with the sword[H2719] are[H1961] better[H2896] than they that be slain[H4480] [H2491] with hunger:[H7458] for these[H7945] [H1992] pine away,[H2100] stricken through[H1856] for want of the fruits[H4480] [H8570] of the field.[H7704]

11. The LORD[H3068] hath accomplished[H3615] [H853] his fury;[H2534] he hath poured out[H8210] his fierce[H2740] anger,[H639] and hath kindled[H3341] a fire[H784] in Zion,[H6726] and it hath devoured[H398] the foundations[H3247] thereof.

12. The kings[H4428] of the earth,[H776] and all[H3605] the inhabitants[H3427] of the world,[H8398] would not[H3808] have believed[H539] that[H3588] the adversary[H6862] and the enemy[H341] should have entered[H935] into the gates[H8179] of Jerusalem.[H3389]

13. For the sins[H4480] [H2403] of her prophets,[H5030] and the iniquities[H5771] of her priests,[H3548] that have shed[H8210] the blood[H1818] of the just[H6662] in the midst[H7130] of her,

14. They have wandered[H5128] as blind[H5787] men in the streets,[H2351] they have polluted[H1351] themselves with blood,[H1818] so that men could[H3201] not[H3808] touch[H5060] their garments.[H3830]

16. The anger[H6440] of the LORD[H3068] hath divided[H2505] them; he will no[H3808] more[H3254] regard[H5027] them: they respected[H5375] not[H3808] the persons[H6440] of the priests,[H3548] they favored[H2603] not[H3808] the elders.[H2205]

18. They hunt[H6679] our steps,[H6806] that we cannot go[H4480] [H1980] in our streets:[H7339] our end[H7093] is near,[H7126] our days[H3117] are fulfilled;[H4390] for[H3588] our end[H7093] is come.[H935]

19. Our persecutors[H7291] are[H1961] swifter[H7031] than the eagles[H4480] [H5404] of the heaven:[H8064] they pursued[H1814] us upon[H5921] the mountains,[H2022] they laid wait[H693] for us in the wilderness.[H4057]

20. The breath[H7307] of our nostrils,[H639] the anointed[H4899] of the LORD,[H3068] was taken[H3920] in their pits,[H7825] of whom[H834] we said,[H559] Under his shadow[H6738] we shall live[H2421] among the heathen.[H1471]

21. Rejoice[H7797] and be glad,[H8055] O daughter[H1323] of Edom,[H123] that dwellest[H3427] in the land[H776] of Uz;[H5780] the cup[H3563] also[H1571] shall pass through[H5674] unto[H5921] thee: thou shalt be drunken,[H7937] and shalt make thyself naked.[H6168]

22. The punishment of thine iniquity[H5771] is accomplished,[H8552] O daughter[H1323] of Zion;[H6726] he will no[H3808] more[H3254] carry thee away into captivity:[H1540] he will visit[H6485] thine iniquity,[H5771] O daughter[H1323] of Edom;[H123] he will discover[H1540] [H5921] thy sins.[H2403]
