How
hath
the
Lord
covered
the
daughter
of
Zion
with
a
cloud
in
his
anger,
[and]
cast
down
from
heaven
unto
the
earth
the
beauty
of
Israel,
and
remembered
not
his
footstool
in
the
day
of
his
anger!
2
The
Lord
hath
swallowed
up
all
the
habitations
of
Jacob,
and
hath
not
pitied:
he
hath
thrown
down
in
his
wrath
the
strong
holds
of
the
daughter
of
Judah;
he
hath
brought
[them]
down
to
the
ground:
he
hath
polluted
the
kingdom
and
the
princes
thereof.
3
He
hath
cut
off
in
[his]
fierce
anger
all
the
horn
of
Israel:
he
hath
drawn
back
his
right
hand
from
before
the
enemy,
and
he
burned
against
Jacob
like
a
flaming
fire,
[which]
devoureth
round
about.
4
He
hath
bent
his
bow
like
an
enemy:
he
stood
with
his
right
hand
as
an
adversary,
and
slew
all
[that
were]
pleasant
to
the
eye
in
the
tabernacle
of
the
daughter
of
Zion:
he
poured
out
his
fury
like
fire.
5
The
Lord
was
as
an
enemy:
he
hath
swallowed
up
Israel,
he
hath
swallowed
up
all
her
palaces:
he
hath
destroyed
his
strong
holds,
and
hath
increased
in
the
daughter
of
Judah
mourning
and
lamentation.
6
And
he
hath
violently
taken
away
his
tabernacle,
as
[if
it
were
of]
a
garden:
he
hath
destroyed
his
places
of
the
assembly:
the
LORD
hath
caused
the
solemn
feasts
and
sabbaths
to
be
forgotten
in
Zion,
and
hath
despised
in
the
indignation
of
his
anger
the
king
and
the
priest.
7
The
Lord
hath
cast
off
his
altar,
he
hath
abhorred
his
sanctuary,
he
hath
given
up
into
the
hand
of
the
enemy
the
walls
of
her
palaces;
they
have
made
a
noise
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
as
in
the
day
of
a
solemn
feast.
8
The
LORD
hath
purposed
to
destroy
the
wall
of
the
daughter
of
Zion:
he
hath
stretched
out
a
line,
he
hath
not
withdrawn
his
hand
from
destroying:
therefore
he
made
the
rampart
and
the
wall
to
lament;
they
languished
together.
9
Her
gates
are
sunk
into
the
ground;
he
hath
destroyed
and
broken
her
bars:
her
king
and
her
princes
[are]
among
the
Gentiles:
the
law
[is]
no
[more];
her
prophets
also
find
no
vision
from
the
LORD.
10
The
elders
of
the
daughter
of
Zion
sit
upon
the
ground,
[and]
keep
silence:
they
have
cast
up
dust
upon
their
heads;
they
have
girded
themselves
with
sackcloth:
the
virgins
of
Jerusalem
hang
down
their
heads
to
the
ground.
11
Mine
eyes
do
fail
with
tears,
my
bowels
are
troubled,
my
liver
is
poured
upon
the
earth,
for
the
destruction
of
the
daughter
of
my
people;
because
the
children
and
the
sucklings
swoon
in
the
streets
of
the
city.
12
They
say
to
their
mothers,
Where
[is]
corn
and
wine?
when
they
swooned
as
the
wounded
in
the
streets
of
the
city,
when
their
soul
was
poured
out
into
their
mothers’
bosom.
13
What
thing
shall
I
take
to
witness
for
thee?
what
thing
shall
I
liken
to
thee,
O
daughter
of
Jerusalem?
what
shall
I
equal
to
thee,
that
I
may
comfort
thee,
O
virgin
daughter
of
Zion?
for
thy
breach
[is]
great
like
the
sea:
who
can
heal
thee?
14
Thy
prophets
have
seen
vain
and
foolish
things
for
thee:
and
they
have
not
discovered
thine
iniquity,
to
turn
away
thy
captivity;
but
have
seen
for
thee
false
burdens
and
causes
of
banishment.
15
All
that
pass
by
clap
[their]
hands
at
thee;
they
hiss
and
wag
their
head
at
the
daughter
of
Jerusalem,
[saying,
Is]
this
the
city
that
[men]
call
The
perfection
of
beauty,
The
joy
of
the
whole
earth?
16
All
thine
enemies
have
opened
their
mouth
against
thee:
they
hiss
and
gnash
the
teeth:
they
say,
We
have
swallowed
[her]
up:
certainly
this
[is]
the
day
that
we
looked
for;
we
have
found,
we
have
seen
[it].
17
The
LORD
hath
done
[that]
which
he
had
devised;
he
hath
fulfilled
his
word
that
he
had
commanded
in
the
days
of
old:
he
hath
thrown
down,
and
hath
not
pitied:
and
he
hath
caused
[thine]
enemy
to
rejoice
over
thee,
he
hath
set
up
the
horn
of
thine
adversaries.
18
Their
heart
cried
unto
the
Lord,
O
wall
of
the
daughter
of
Zion,
let
tears
run
down
like
a
river
day
and
night:
give
thyself
no
rest;
let
not
the
apple
of
thine
eye
cease.
19
Arise,
cry
out
in
the
night:
in
the
beginning
of
the
watches
pour
out
thine
heart
like
water
before
the
face
of
the
Lord:
lift
up
thy
hands
toward
him
for
the
life
of
thy
young
children,
that
faint
for
hunger
in
the
top
of
every
street.
20
Behold,
O
LORD,
and
consider
to
whom
thou
hast
done
this.
Shall
the
women
eat
their
fruit,
[and]
children
of
a
span
long?
shall
the
priest
and
the
prophet
be
slain
in
the
sanctuary
of
the
Lord?
21
The
young
and
the
old
lie
on
the
ground
in
the
streets:
my
virgins
and
my
young
men
are
fallen
by
the
sword;
thou
hast
slain
[them]
in
the
day
of
thine
anger;
thou
hast
killed,
[and]
not
pitied.
22
Thou
hast
called
as
in
a
solemn
day
my
terrors
round
about,
so
that
in
the
day
of
the
LORD’S
anger
none
escaped
nor
remained:
those
that
I
have
swaddled
and
brought
up
hath
mine
enemy
consumed.
