Lamentations  


4 : 1 How dark the gold has become, How the pure gold has changed! The sacred stones are poured out At the corner of every street.
4 : 2 The precious sons of Zion, Weighed against fine gold, How they are regarded as earthen jars, The work of a potter`s hands!
4 : 3 Even jackals offer the breast, They nurse their young; But the daughter of my people has become cruel Like ostriches in the wilderness.
4 : 4 The tongue of the infant cleaves To the roof of its mouth because of thirst; The little ones ask for bread, But no one breaks it for them.
4 : 5 Those who ate delicacies Are desolate in the streets; Those reared in purple Embrace ash pits.
4 : 6 For the iniquity of the daughter of my people Is greater than the sin of Sodom, Which was overthrown as in a moment, And no hands were turned toward her.
4 : 7 Her consecrated ones were purer than snow, They were whiter than milk; They were more ruddy in body than corals, Their polishing was like lapis lazuli.
4 : 8 Their appearance is blacker than soot, They are not recognized in the streets; Their skin is shriveled on their bones, It is withered, it has become like wood.
4 : 9 Better are those slain with the sword Than those slain with hunger; For they pine away, being stricken For lack of the fruits of the field.
4 : 10 The hands of compassionate women Boiled their own children; They became food for them Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
4 : 11 The LORD has accomplished His wrath, He has poured out His fierce anger; And He has kindled a fire in Zion Which has consumed its foundations.
4 : 12 The kings of the earth did not believe, Nor did any of the inhabitants of the world, That the adversary and the enemy Could enter the gates of Jerusalem.
4 : 13 Because of the sins of her prophets And the iniquities of her priests, Who have shed in her midst The blood of the righteous;
4 : 14 They wandered, blind, in the streets; They were defiled with blood So that no one could touch their garments.
4 : 15 Depart! Unclean! they cried of themselves "Depart, depart, do not touch!" So they fled and wandered; Men among the nations said, "They shall not continue to dwell with us."
4 : 16 The presence of the LORD has scattered them, He will not continue to regard them; They did not honor the priests, They did not favor the elders.
4 : 17 Yet our eyes failed, Looking for help was useless; In our watching we have watched For a nation that could not save.
4 : 18 They hunted our steps So that we could not walk in our streets; Our end drew near, Our days were finished For our end had come.
4 : 19 Our pursuers were swifter Than the eagles of the sky; They chased us on the mountains, They waited in ambush for us in the wilderness.
4 : 20 The breath of our nostrils, the LORD`S anointed, Was captured in their pits, Of whom we had said, "Under his shadow We shall live among the nations."
4 : 21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, Who dwells in the land of Uz; But the cup will come around to you as well, You will become drunk and make yourself naked.
4 : 22 The punishment of your iniquity has been completed, O daughter of Zion; He will exile you no longer But He will punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom; He will expose your sins!
