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!

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.
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.

in the tabernacle
of the daughter
of Zion:
he poured out
his fury
like fire.

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.
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.

they have made

of the LORD,
as in the day
of a solemn feast.

The LORD
hath purposed
to destroy
the wall

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he hath not withdrawn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.

The elders
of the daughter

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.
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.
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.
