God’s Anger with Jerusalem
With a acloud in His anger!
bHe cast down from heaven to the earth
cThe beauty of Israel,
And did not remember dHis footstool
In the day of His anger.
All the dwelling places of Jacob.
He has thrown down in His wrath
The strongholds of the daughter of Judah;
He has brought them down to the ground;
bHe has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
Every1 horn of Israel;
aHe has drawn back His right hand
From before the enemy.
bHe has blazed against Jacob like a flaming fire
Devouring all around.
With His right hand, like an adversary,
He has slain ball who were pleasing to His eye;
On the tent of the daughter of Zion,
He has poured out His fury like fire.
He has swallowed up Israel,
He has swallowed up all her palaces;
bHe has destroyed her strongholds,
And has increased mourning and lamentation
In the daughter of Judah.
bAs if it were a garden;
He has destroyed His place of assembly;
The Lord has caused
The appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion.
In His burning indignation He has cspurned the king and the priest.
He has1 aabandoned His sanctuary;
He has given up the walls of her palaces
Into the hand of the enemy.
bThey have made a noise in the house of the Lord
As on the day of a set feast.
The awall of the daughter of Zion.
bHe has stretched out a line;
He has not withdrawn His hand from destroying;
Therefore He has caused the rampart and wall to lament;
They languished together.
He has destroyed and abroken her bars.
bHer king and her princes are among the1 nations;
cThe Law is no more,
And her dprophets find no vision from the Lord.
aSit on the ground and keep silence;
They bthrow dust on their heads
And cgird themselves with sackcloth.
The virgins of Jerusalem
Bow their heads to the ground.
My1 heart is troubled;
bMy bile is poured on the ground
Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
Because cthe children and the infants
Faint in the streets of the city.
“Where is grain and wine?”
As they swoon like the wounded
In the streets of the city,
As their life is poured out
In their mothers’ bosom.
To what shall I liken you,
O daughter of Jerusalem?
What shall I compare with you, that I may comfort you,
O virgin daughter of Zion?
For your ruin is spread wide as the sea;
Who can heal you?
False and deceptive visions;
They have not buncovered your iniquity,
To bring back your captives,
But have envisioned for you false cprophecies and delusions.
They hiss band shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that is called
c‘The perfection of beauty,
The joy of the whole earth’?”
They hiss and gnash their teeth.
They say, b“We have swallowed her up!
Surely this is the cday we have waited for;
We have found it, dwe have seen it!”
He has fulfilled His word
Which He commanded in days of old.
He has thrown down and has not pitied,
And He has caused an enemy to brejoice over you;
He has exalted the1 horn of your adversaries.
“O wall of the daughter of Zion,
aLet tears run down like a river day and night;
Give1 yourself no relief;
Give your eyes no rest.
At the beginning of the watches;
bPour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord.
Lift your hands toward Him
For the life of your young children,
Who faint from hunger cat the head of every street.”
To whom have You done this?
aShould the women eat their offspring,
The children1 they have cuddled?
Should the priest and prophet be slain
In the sanctuary of the Lord?
On the ground in the streets;
My virgins and my young men
Have fallen by the bsword;
You have slain them in the day of Your anger,
You have slaughtered and not pitied.
aThe terrors that surround me.
In the day of the Lord’s anger
There was no refugee or survivor.
bThose whom I have borne and brought up
My enemies have cdestroyed.”
