Lamentations 2:1 (AMP) Amplified Bibles

1 HOW THE Lord has covered the Daughter of Zion with a cloud in His anger! He has cast down from heaven to the earth the beauty and splendor of Israel and has not earnestly remembered His footstool in the day of His anger!
2 The Lord has swallowed up all the country places and habitations of Jacob and has spared not nor pitied; He has demolished in His wrath the strongholds of the Daughter of Judah. He has cast down to the ground the kingdom and its rulers, polluting them and depriving them of their sanctity.
3 He has broken off in His fierce anger every horn (means of defense) of Israel. He has drawn back His right hand from before the enemy. And He has burned amidst Jacob like a flaming fire consuming all around.
4 He has bent His bow like an enemy; He has stood with His right hand set like a foe and has slain all the delights and pride of the eye; on and in the tent of the Daughter of Zion He has poured out His wrath like fire.
5 The Lord has become like an enemy; He has destroyed Israel. He has destroyed all its palaces, has laid in ruins its strongholds, and has multiplied in the Daughter of Judah groaning and moaning and lamentation.
6 And He has violently broken down His temple like a booth or hedge of a garden; He has destroyed the place of His appointed assembly. The Lord has caused the solemn appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion and has spurned and rejected in the indignation of His anger the king and the priest.
7 The Lord has scorned, rejected, and cast off His altar; He has abhorred and disowned His sanctuary. He has given into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces and high buildings; they have raised a clamor in the house of the Lord as on a day of a solemn appointed feast.
8 The Lord purposed to lay in ruins the city wall of the Daughter of Zion. He marked it off by measuring line; He restrained not His hand from destroying. He made rampart and wall lament; they languished together.
9 Her gates have sunk into the ground; He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are exiled among the nations; the law is no more; her prophets also obtain no vision from the Lord.
10 The elders of the Daughter of Zion sit on the ground keeping silent; they have cast dust on their heads, they have girded themselves with sackcloth. The maidens of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground says Jeremiah.
11 My eyes fail from weeping, my emotions are deeply disturbed, my heart is poured out upon the ground in grief because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because infants and nurslings faint in the streets of the city.
12 They keep crying to their mothers, Where is corn and wine food and drink? as they faint like wounded men in the streets of the city, as their lives ebb away on their mothers' bosom.
13 What example of suffering in the past is sufficient for me to remind you for your comfort? To what shall I liken you, O Daughter of Jerusalem? With what shall I compare you, that I may comfort you, O Virgin Daughter of Zion? For your ruin is as measureless as the sea! Who can heal you? Lam. 1:12; Dan. 9:12.
14 Your prophets have predicted for you falsehood and delusion and foolish things; and they have not exposed your iniquity and guilt to avert your captivity by causing you to repent. But they have divined and declared to you false and deceptive prophecies, worthless and misleading.
15 All who pass by clap their hands at you; they hiss and wag their heads at the Daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city which was called the perfection of beauty, the joy of all the earth?
16 All your enemies have opened wide their mouths against you; they scornfully hiss and gnash their teeth. They cry, We have swallowed her up! Certainly this is the day we have looked for; we have it, we see it!
17 The Lord has done what He planned; He has carried out and finished His word which He threatened and decreed in the days of old. He has demolished without pity; He has made the enemy rejoice over you and has exalted the might of your foes. Lev. 26:14-39; Deut. 28:15-68.
18 The hearts of the inhabitants of Jerusalem cried to the Lord. Then to the congregation, I, Jeremiah, cried, addressing the wall as its symbol O wall of the Daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; give yourself no rest, let not your eyes stop shedding tears.
19 Arise from your bed, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward Him for the lives of your young children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street. Ps. 62:8.
20 Behold, O Lord, and consider carefully to whom You have done this. Should and shall women eat the fruit of their own bodies, the children whom they have tended and swaddled with their hands? Should and shall priest and prophet be slain in the place set apart for the worship of the Lord?
21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets; my maidens and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have slain them in the day of Your anger, slaughtering them without pity.
22 You Lord called together, as on an appointed feast day of solemn assembly, my terrors (dangers) from every side. And there was not one in the day of God's wrath who escaped or survived; those I have nursed and brought up, my enemy has destroyed.

3 He hath cut off H1438 in his fierce H2750 anger H639 CMS all H3605 NMS the horn H7161 of Israel H3478 : he hath drawn H7725 VHQ3MS back H268 his right hand H3225 CFS-3MS from before H6440 M-CMP the enemy H341 VQPMS , and he burned H1197 against Jacob H3290 like a flaming H3852 fire H784 , which devoureth H398 VQQ3FS round about H5439 .
4 He hath bent H1869 his bow H7198 like an enemy H341 : he stood H5324 with his right hand H3225 CFS-3MS as an adversary H6862 , and slew H2026 all H3605 NMS that were pleasant H4261 to the eye H5869 NMS in the tabernacle H168 of the daughter H1323 CFS of Zion H6726 : he poured out H8210 his fury H2534 like fire H784 .
5 The Lord H136 EDS was H1961 VQQ3MS as an enemy H341 : he hath swallowed up H1104 Israel H3478 , he hath swallowed up H1104 all H3605 NMS 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 EDS hath caused the solemn feasts H4150 NMS and sabbaths H7676 to be forgotten H7911 in Zion H6726 , and hath despised H5006 in the indignation H2195 of his anger H639 CMS-3MS the king H4428 NMS and the priest H3548 .
7 The Lord H136 EDS hath cast off H2186 his altar H4196 , he hath abhorred H5010 his sanctuary H4720 , he hath given up H5462 into the hand H3027 B-CFS of the enemy H341 VQPMS the walls H2346 of her palaces H759 ; they have made H5414 a noise H6963 CMS in the house H1004 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , as in the day H3117 of a solemn feast H4150 .
8 The LORD H3068 EDS hath purposed H2803 to destroy H7843 the wall H2346 of the daughter H1323 CFS of Zion H6726 : he hath stretched out H5186 VQQ3MS a line H6957 , he hath not H3808 NADV withdrawn H7725 VHQ3MS his hand H3027 CFS-3MS from destroying H1104 : therefore he made the rampart H2426 and the wall H2346 to lament H56 ; they languished H535 together H3162 ADV-3MS .
9 Her gates H8179 are sunk H2883 into the ground H776 BD-GFS ; 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 NFS is no H369 NPAR more ; her prophets H5030 also H1571 CONJ find H4672 VQQ3MP no H3808 NADV vision H2377 from the LORD H3068 .
10 The elders H2205 of the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 sit H3427 VQY3MP upon the ground H776 LD-NFS , and keep silence H1826 : they have cast up H5927 dust H6083 NMS upon H5921 PREP their heads H7218 ; they have girded H2296 themselves with sackcloth H8242 NMP : the virgins H1330 of Jerusalem H3389 hang down H3381 their heads H7218 to the ground H776 LD-NFS .
11 Mine eyes H5869 CMD-1MS do fail H3615 VQQ3MP with tears H1832 , my bowels H4578 CMP-1MS are troubled H2560 , my liver H3516 is poured H8210 upon the earth H776 LD-NFS , for H5921 PREP the destruction H7667 of the daughter H1323 CFS 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 IGAT is corn H1715 and wine H3196 W-NMS ? when they swooned H5848 as the wounded H2491 in the streets H7339 of the city H5892 GFS , when their soul H5315 CFS-3MP was poured out H8210 into H413 PREP their mothers H517 \' bosom H2436 .
13 What thing H4100 IGAT shall I take to witness H5749 for thee ? what thing H4100 IGAT shall I liken H1819 to thee , O daughter H1323 of Jerusalem H3389 ? what H4100 IGAT shall I equal H7737 to thee , that I may comfort H5162 thee , O virgin H1330 daughter H1323 CFS of Zion H6726 ? for H3588 CONJ thy breach H7667 is great H1419 like the sea H3220 : who H4310 IPRO can heal H7495 thee ?
14 Thy prophets H5030 have seen H2372 VQP3MP vain H7723 NMS and foolish things H8602 for thee : and they have not H3808 W-NPAR discovered H1540 thine iniquity H5771 , to turn away H7725 L-VHFC thy captivity H7622 ; but have seen H2372 for thee false H7723 NMS burdens H4864 and causes of banishment H4065 .
15 All H3605 NMS that pass by clap H5606 their hands H3709 NFD at H5921 PREP thee ; they hiss H8319 and wag H5128 their head H7218 at H5921 PREP the daughter H1323 CFS of Jerusalem H3389 , saying , Is this H2063 D-PFS the city H5892 D-GFS that men call H7945 The perfection H3632 of beauty H3308 , The joy H4885 of the whole H3605 NMS earth H776 D-GFS ?
16 All H3605 NMS thine enemies H341 have opened H6475 their mouth H6310 against H5921 thee : they hiss H8319 and gnash H2786 the teeth H8127 : they say H559 VQQ3MP , We have swallowed her up H1104 : certainly H389 ADV this H2088 DPRO is the day H3117 D-AMS that we looked for ; we have found H4672 VQQ1MP , we have seen H7200 it .
17 The LORD H3068 EDS hath done H6213 VQQ3MS that which H834 RPRO he had devised H2161 ; he hath fulfilled H1214 his word H565 that H834 RPRO he had commanded H6680 VPQ3MS in the days H3117 of old H6924 NMS : he hath thrown down H2040 , and hath not H3808 W-NPAR pitied H2550 : and he hath caused thine enemy H341 VQPMS to rejoice H8055 over H5921 thee , he hath set up H7311 the horn H7161 of thine adversaries H6862 .
18 Their heart H3820 CMS-3MP cried H6817 unto H413 PREP the Lord H136 EDS , O wall H2346 of the daughter H1323 CFS of Zion H6726 , let tears H1832 run down H3381 like a river H5158 day H3119 ADV and night H3915 W-NMS : give H5414 thyself no H408 ADV rest H6314 ; let not H408 NPAR the apple H1323 CFS 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 KD-NMP before H5227 the face H6440 CMP of the Lord H136 EDS : lift up H5375 thy hands H3709 toward H413 PREP-3MS him for H5921 PREP the life H5315 GFS of thy young children H5768 , that faint H5848 for hunger H7458 B-NMS in the top H7218 B-NMS of every H3605 NMS street H2351 CFP .
20 Behold H7200 VQI2MS , O LORD H3068 EDS , and consider H5027 to whom H4310 L-IPRO thou hast done H5953 this H3541 .
