Lamentations 2

KJV

1  How³⁴⁹ hath the Lord¹³⁶ covered^{5743 853} the daughter¹³²³ of Zion⁶⁷²⁶ with a cloud in his anger,⁶³⁹ and cast down⁷⁹⁹³ from heaven^{4480 8064} unto the earth⁷⁷⁶ the beauty⁸⁵⁹⁷ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and remembered²¹⁴² not³⁸⁰⁸ his footstool^{1916 7272} in the day³¹¹⁷ of his anger!⁶³⁹

2  The Lord¹³⁶ hath swallowed up^{1104 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the habitations⁴⁹⁹⁹ of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and hath not³⁸⁰⁸ pitied:²⁵⁵⁰ he hath thrown down²⁰⁴⁰ in his wrath⁵⁶⁷⁸ the strongholds⁴⁰¹³ of the daughter¹³²³ of Judah;³⁰⁶³ he hath brought them down⁵⁰⁶⁰ to the ground:⁷⁷⁶ he hath polluted²⁴⁹⁰ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ and the princes⁸²⁶⁹ thereof.

3  He hath cut off¹⁴³⁸ in his fierce²⁷⁵⁰ anger⁶³⁹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the horn⁷¹⁶¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ he hath drawn⁷⁷²⁵ back²⁶⁸ his right hand³²²⁵ from before^{4480 6440} the enemy,³⁴¹ and he burned¹¹⁹⁷ against Jacob³²⁹⁰ like a flaming³⁸⁵² fire,⁷⁸⁴ which devoureth³⁹⁸ round about.⁵⁴³⁹

4  He hath bent¹⁸⁶⁹ his bow⁷¹⁹⁸ like an enemy:³⁴¹ he stood⁵³²⁴ with his right hand³²²⁵ as an adversary,⁶⁸⁶² and slew²⁰²⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ that were pleasant⁴²⁶¹ to the eye⁵⁸⁶⁹ in the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the daughter¹³²³ of Zion:⁶⁷²⁶ he poured out⁸²¹⁰ his fury²⁵³⁴ like fire.⁷⁸⁴

5  The Lord¹³⁶ was¹⁹⁶¹ as an enemy:³⁴¹ he hath swallowed up¹¹⁰⁴ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ he hath swallowed up¹¹⁰⁴ all³⁶⁰⁵ her palaces:⁷⁵⁹ he hath destroyed⁷⁸⁴³ his strongholds,⁴⁰¹³ and hath increased⁷²³⁵ in the daughter¹³²³ of Judah³⁰⁶³ mourning⁸³⁸⁶ and lamentation.⁵⁹²

6  And he hath violently taken away²⁵⁵⁴ his tabernacle,⁷⁹⁰⁰ as if it were of a garden:¹⁵⁸⁸ he hath destroyed⁷⁸⁴³ his places of the assembly:⁴¹⁵⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath caused the solemn feasts⁴¹⁵⁰ and sabbaths⁷⁶⁷⁶ to be forgotten⁷⁹¹¹ in Zion,⁶⁷²⁶ and hath despised⁵⁰⁰⁶ in the indignation²¹⁹⁵ of his anger⁶³⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ and the priest.³⁵⁴⁸

7  The Lord¹³⁶ hath cast off²¹⁸⁶ his altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ he hath abhorred⁵⁰¹⁰ his sanctuary,⁴⁷²⁰ he hath given up⁵⁴⁶² into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the enemy³⁴¹ the walls²³⁴⁶ of her palaces;⁷⁵⁹ they have made⁵⁴¹⁴ a noise⁶⁹⁶³ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ as in the day³¹¹⁷ of a solemn feast.⁴¹⁵⁰

8  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath purposed²⁸⁰³ to destroy⁷⁸⁴³ the wall²³⁴⁶ of the daughter¹³²³ of Zion:⁶⁷²⁶ he hath stretched out⁵¹⁸⁶ a line,⁶⁹⁵⁷ he hath not³⁸⁰⁸ withdrawn⁷⁷²⁵ his hand³⁰²⁷ from destroying:^{4480 1104} therefore he made the rampart²⁴²⁶ and the wall²³⁴⁶ to lament;⁵⁶ they languished⁵³⁵ together.³¹⁶²

9  Her gates⁸¹⁷⁹ are sunk²⁸⁸³ into the ground;⁷⁷⁶ he hath destroyed⁶ and broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ her bars:¹²⁸⁰ her king⁴⁴²⁸ and her princes⁸²⁶⁹ are among the Gentiles:¹⁴⁷¹ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ is no³⁶⁹ more; her prophets⁵⁰³⁰ also¹⁵⁷¹ find⁴⁶⁷² no³⁸⁰⁸ vision²³⁷⁷ from the LORD.^{4480 3068}

10  The elders²²⁰⁵ of the daughter¹³²³ of Zion⁶⁷²⁶ sit³⁴²⁷ upon the ground,⁷⁷⁶ and keep silence:¹⁸²⁶ they have cast up⁵⁹²⁷ dust⁶⁰⁸³ upon⁵⁹²¹ their heads;⁷²¹⁸ they have girded²²⁹⁶ themselves with sackcloth:⁸²⁴² the virgins¹³³⁰ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ hang down³³⁸¹ their heads⁷²¹⁸ to the ground.⁷⁷⁶

11  Mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ do fail³⁶¹⁵ with tears,¹⁸³² my bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ are troubled,²⁵⁶⁰ my liver³⁵¹⁶ is poured⁸²¹⁰ upon the earth,⁷⁷⁶ for⁵⁹²¹ the destruction⁷⁶⁶⁷ of the daughter¹³²³ of my people;⁵⁹⁷¹ because the children⁵⁷⁶⁸ and the sucklings³²⁴³ swoon⁵⁸⁴⁸ in the streets⁷³³⁹ of the city.⁷¹⁵¹

12  They say⁵⁵⁹ to their mothers,⁵¹⁷ Where³⁴⁶ is corn¹⁷¹⁵ and wine?³¹⁹⁶ when they swooned⁵⁸⁴⁸ as the wounded²⁴⁹¹ in the streets⁷³³⁹ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² when their soul⁵³¹⁵ was poured out⁸²¹⁰ into⁴¹³ their mothers'⁵¹⁷ bosom.²⁴³⁶

13  What thing⁴¹⁰⁰ shall I take to witness⁵⁷⁴⁹ for thee? what thing⁴¹⁰⁰ shall I liken¹⁸¹⁹ to thee, O daughter¹³²³ of Jerusalem?³³⁸⁹ what⁴¹⁰⁰ shall I equal⁷⁷³⁷ to thee, that I may comfort⁵¹⁶² thee, O virgin¹³³⁰ daughter¹³²³ of Zion?⁶⁷²⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ thy breach⁷⁶⁶⁷ is great¹⁴¹⁹ like the sea:³²²⁰ who⁴³¹⁰ can heal⁷⁴⁹⁵ thee?

14  Thy prophets⁵⁰³⁰ have seen²³⁷² vain⁷⁷²³ and foolish things⁸⁶⁰² for thee: and they have not³⁸⁰⁸ discovered^{1540 5921} thine iniquity,⁵⁷⁷¹ to turn away⁷⁷²⁵ thy captivity;⁷⁶²² but have seen²³⁷² for thee false⁷⁷²³ burdens⁴⁸⁶⁴ and causes of banishment.⁴⁰⁶⁵

15  All³⁶⁰⁵ that pass by^{5674 1870} clap⁵⁶⁰⁶ their hands³⁷⁰⁹ at⁵⁹²¹ thee; they hiss⁸³¹⁹ and wag⁵¹²⁸ their head⁷²¹⁸ at⁵⁹²¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ saying, Is this²⁰⁶³ the city⁵⁸⁹² that men call^{7945 559} The perfection³⁶³² of beauty,³³⁰⁸ The joy⁴⁸⁸⁵ of the whole³⁶⁰⁵ earth?⁷⁷⁶

16  All³⁶⁰⁵ thine enemies³⁴¹ have opened⁶⁴⁷⁵ their mouth⁶³¹⁰ against⁵⁹²¹ thee: they hiss⁸³¹⁹ and gnash²⁷⁸⁶ the teeth:⁸¹²⁷ they say,⁵⁵⁹ We have swallowed her up:¹¹⁰⁴ certainly³⁸⁹ this²⁰⁸⁸ is the day³¹¹⁷ that we looked for;^{7945 6960} we have found,⁴⁶⁷² we have seen⁷²⁰⁰ it.

17  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath done⁶²¹³ that which⁸³⁴ he had devised;²¹⁶¹ he hath fulfilled¹²¹⁴ his word⁵⁶⁵ that⁸³⁴ he had commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ in the days^{4480 3117} of old:⁶⁹²⁴ he hath thrown down,²⁰⁴⁰ and hath not³⁸⁰⁸ pitied:²⁵⁵⁰ and he hath caused thine enemy³⁴¹ to rejoice⁸⁰⁵⁵ over⁵⁹²¹ thee, he hath set up⁷³¹¹ the horn⁷¹⁶¹ of thine adversaries.⁶⁸⁶²

18  Their heart³⁸²⁰ cried⁶⁸¹⁷ unto⁴¹³ the Lord,¹³⁶ O wall²³⁴⁶ of the daughter¹³²³ of Zion,⁶⁷²⁶ let tears¹⁸³² run down³³⁸¹ like a river⁵¹⁵⁸ day³¹¹⁹ and night:³⁹¹⁵ give⁵⁴¹⁴ thyself no⁴⁰⁸ rest;⁶³¹⁴ let not⁴⁰⁸ the apple¹³²³ of thine eye⁵⁸⁶⁹ cease.¹⁸²⁶

19  Arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ cry out⁷⁴⁴² in the night:³⁹¹⁵ in the beginning⁷²¹⁸ of the watches⁸²¹ pour out⁸²¹⁰ thine heart³⁸²⁰ like water⁴³²⁵ before⁵²²⁷ the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the Lord:¹³⁶ lift up⁵³⁷⁵ thy hands³⁷⁰⁹ toward⁴¹³ him for⁵⁹²¹ the life⁵³¹⁵ of thy young children,⁵⁷⁶⁸ that faint⁵⁸⁴⁸ for hunger⁷⁴⁵⁸ in the top⁷²¹⁸ of every³⁶⁰⁵ street.²³⁵¹

20  Behold,⁷²⁰⁰ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and consider⁵⁰²⁷ to whom⁴³¹⁰ thou hast done⁵⁹⁵³ this.³⁵⁴¹ Shall the women⁸⁰² eat³⁹⁸ their fruit,⁶⁵²⁹ and children⁵⁷⁶⁸ of a span long?²⁹⁴⁹ shall the priest³⁵⁴⁸ and the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ be slain²⁰²⁶ in the sanctuary⁴⁷²⁰ of the Lord?¹³⁶

21  The young⁵²⁸⁸ and the old²²⁰⁵ lie⁷⁹⁰¹ on the ground⁷⁷⁶ in the streets:²³⁵¹ my virgins¹³³⁰ and my young men⁹⁷⁰ are fallen⁵³⁰⁷ by the sword;²⁷¹⁹ thou hast slain²⁰²⁶ them in the day³¹¹⁷ of thine anger;⁶³⁹ thou hast killed,²⁸⁷³ and not³⁸⁰⁸ pitied.²⁵⁵⁰

22  Thou hast called⁷¹²¹ as in a solemn⁴¹⁵⁰ day³¹¹⁷ my terrors⁴⁰³² round about,^{4480 5439} so that in the day³¹¹⁷ of the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ anger⁶³⁹ none³⁸⁰⁸ escaped^{1961 6412} nor remained:⁸³⁰⁰ those that⁸³⁴ I have swaddled²⁹⁴⁶ and brought up⁷²³⁵ hath mine enemy³⁴¹ consumed.³⁶¹⁵

1 πῶς ἐγνόφωσεν ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ κύριος τὴν θυγατέρα Σιων κατέρριψεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ εἰς γῆν δόξασμα Ισραηλ καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθη ὑποποδίου ποδῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ

2 κατεπόντισεν κύριος οὐ φεισάμενος πάντα τὰ ὡραῖα Ιακωβ καθεῖλεν ἐν θυμῷ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὀχυρώματα τῆς θυγατρὸς Ιουδα ἐκόλλησεν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐβεβήλωσεν βασιλέα αὐτῆς καὶ ἄρχοντας αὐτῆς

3 συνέκλασεν ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ πᾶν κέρας Ισραηλ ἀπέστρεψεν ὀπίσω δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ προσώπου ἐχθροῦ καὶ ἀνῆψεν ἐν Ιακωβ ὡς πῦρ φλόγα καὶ κατέφαγεν πάντα τὰ κύκλῳ

4 ἐνέτεινεν τόξον αὐτοῦ ὡς ἐχθρός ἐστερέωσεν δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ ὡς ὑπεναντίος καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν πάντα τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα ὀφθαλμῶν μου ἐν σκηνῇ θυγατρὸς Σιων ἐξέχεεν ὡς πῦρ τὸν θυμὸν αὐτοῦ

5 ἐγενήθη κύριος ὡς ἐχθρός κατεπόντισεν Ισραηλ κατεπόντισεν πάσας τὰς βάρεις αὐτῆς διέφθειρεν τὰ ὀχυρώματα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπλήθυνεν τῇ θυγατρὶ Ιουδα ταπεινουμένην καὶ τεταπεινωμένην

6 καὶ διεπέτασεν ὡς ἄμπελον τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ διέφθειρεν ἑορτὴν αὐτοῦ ἐπελάθετο κύριος ὃ ἐποίησεν ἐν Σιων ἑορτῆς καὶ σαββάτου καὶ παρώξυνεν ἐμβριμήματι ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ βασιλέα καὶ ἱερέα καὶ ἄρχοντα

7 ἀπώσατο κύριος θυσιαστήριον αὐτοῦ ἀπετίναξεν ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ συνέτριψεν ἐν χειρὶ ἐχθροῦ τεῖχος βάρεων αὐτῆς φωνὴν ἔδωκαν ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου ὡς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἑορτῆς

8 καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν κύριος τοῦ διαφθεῖραι τεῖχος θυγατρὸς Σιων ἐξέτεινεν μέτρον οὐκ ἀπέστρεψεν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ καταπατήματος καὶ ἐπένθησεν τὸ προτείχισμα καὶ τεῖχος ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἠσθένησεν

9 ἐνεπάγησαν εἰς γῆν πύλαι αὐτῆς ἀπώλεσεν καὶ συνέτριψεν μοχλοὺς αὐτῆς βασιλέα αὐτῆς καὶ ἄρχοντας αὐτῆς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν οὐκ ἔστιν νόμος καί γε προφῆται αὐτῆς οὐκ εἶδον ὅρασιν παρὰ κυρίου

10 ἐκάθισαν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐσιώπησαν πρεσβύτεροι θυγατρὸς Σιων ἀνεβίβασαν χοῦν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν περιεζώσαντο σάκκους κατήγαγον εἰς γῆν ἀρχηγοὺς παρθένους ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

11 ἐξέλιπον ἐν δάκρυσιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἐταράχθη ἡ καρδία μου ἐξεχύθη εἰς γῆν ἡ δόξα μου ἐπὶ τὸ σύντριμμα τῆς θυγατρὸς τοῦ λαοῦ μου ἐν τῷ ἐκλιπεῖν νήπιον καὶ θηλάζοντα ἐν πλατείαις πόλεως

12 ταῖς μητράσιν αὐτῶν εἶπαν ποῦ σῖτος καὶ οἶνος ἐν τῷ ἐκλύεσθαι αὐτοὺς ὡς τραυματίας ἐν πλατείαις πόλεως ἐν τῷ ἐκχεῖσθαι ψυχὰς αὐτῶν εἰς κόλπον μητέρων αὐτῶν

13 τί μαρτυρήσω σοι ἢ τί ὁμοιώσω σοι θύγατερ Ιερουσαλημ τίς σώσει σε καὶ παρακαλέσει σε παρθένος θύγατερ Σιων ὅτι ἐμεγαλύνθη ποτήριον συντριβῆς σου τίς ἰάσεταί σε

14 προφῆταί σου εἴδοσάν σοι μάταια καὶ ἀφροσύνην καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκάλυψαν ἐπὶ τὴν ἀδικίαν σου τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι αἰχμαλωσίαν σου καὶ εἴδοσάν σοι λήμματα μάταια καὶ ἐξώσματα

15 ἐκρότησαν ἐπὶ σὲ χεῖρας πάντες οἱ παραπορευόμενοι ὁδόν ἐσύρισαν καὶ ἐκίνησαν τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν θυγατέρα Ιερουσαλημ ἦ αὕτη ἡ πόλις ἣν ἐροῦσιν στέφανος δόξης εὐφροσύνη πάσης τῆς γῆς

16 διήνοιξαν ἐπὶ σὲ στόμα αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί σου ἐσύρισαν καὶ ἔβρυξαν ὀδόντας εἶπαν κατεπίομεν αὐτήν πλὴν αὕτη ἡ ἡμέρα ἣν προσεδοκῶμεν εὕρομεν αὐτήν εἴδομεν

17 ἐποίησεν κύριος ἃ ἐνεθυμήθη συνετέλεσεν ῥήματα αὐτοῦ ἃ ἐνετείλατο ἐξ ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων καθεῖλεν καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσατο καὶ ηὔφρανεν ἐπὶ σὲ ἐχθρόν ὕψωσεν κέρας θλίβοντός σε

18 ἐβόησεν καρδία αὐτῶν πρὸς κύριον τείχη Σιων καταγάγετε ὡς χειμάρρους δάκρυα ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός μὴ δῷς ἔκνηψιν σεαυτῇ μὴ σιωπήσαιτο θύγατερ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου

19 ἀνάστα ἀγαλλίασαι ἐν νυκτὶ εἰς ἀρχὰς φυλακῆς σου ἔκχεον ὡς ὕδωρ καρδίαν σου ἀπέναντι προσώπου κυρίου ἆρον πρὸς αὐτὸν χεῖράς σου περὶ ψυχῆς νηπίων σου τῶν ἐκλυομένων λιμῷ ἐπ᾽ ἀρχῆς πασῶν ἐξόδων

20 ἰδέ κύριε καὶ ἐπίβλεψον τίνι ἐπεφύλλισας οὕτως εἰ φάγονται γυναῖκες καρπὸν κοιλίας αὐτῶν ἐπιφυλλίδα ἐποίησεν μάγειρος φονευθήσονται νήπια θηλάζοντα μαστούς ἀποκτενεῖς ἐν ἁγιάσματι κυρίου ἱερέα καὶ προφήτην

21 ἐκοιμήθησαν εἰς τὴν ἔξοδον παιδάριον καὶ πρεσβύτης παρθένοι μου καὶ νεανίσκοι μου ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ ἀπέκτεινας ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς σου ἐμαγείρευσας οὐκ ἐφείσω

22 ἐκάλεσεν ἡμέραν ἑορτῆς παροικίας μου κυκλόθεν καὶ οὐκ ἐγένοντο ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς κυρίου ἀνασῳζόμενος καὶ καταλελειμμένος ὡς ἐπεκράτησα καὶ ἐπλήθυνα ἐχθρούς μου πάντας

1 [Quomodo obtexit caligine in furore suo
Dominus filiam Sion;
projecit de cælo in terram
inclytam Israël,
et non est recordatus scabelli pedum suorum
in die furoris sui!

2 Præcipitavit Dominus, nec pepercit
omnia speciosa Jacob:
destruxit in furore suo
munitiones virginis Juda,
et dejecit in terram;
polluit regnum et principes ejus.

3 Confregit in ira furoris sui
omne cornu Israël;
avertit retrorsum dexteram suam
a facie inimici,
et succendit in Jacob quasi ignem
flammæ devorantis in gyro.

4 Tetendit arcum suum quasi inimicus,
firmavit dexteram suam quasi hostis,
et occidit omne quod pulchrum erat visu
in tabernaculo filiæ Sion;
effudit quasi ignem
indignationem suam.

5 Factus est Dominus velut inimicus,
præcipitavit Israël:
præcipitavit omnia mœnia ejus,
dissipavit munitiones ejus,
et replevit in filia Juda
humiliatum et humiliatam.

6 Et dissipavit quasi hortum tentorium suum;
demolitus est tabernaculum suum.
Oblivioni tradidit Dominus in Sion
festivitatem et sabbatum;
et in opprobrium, et in indignationem furoris sui,
regem et sacerdotem.

7 Repulit Dominus altare suum;
maledixit sanctificationi suæ:
tradidit in manu inimici
muros turrium ejus.
Vocem dederunt in domo Domini
sicut in die solemni.

8 Cogitavit Dominus dissipare
murum filiæ Sion;
tetendit funiculum suum,
et non avertit manum suam a perditione:
luxitque antemurale,
et murus pariter dissipatus est.

9 Defixæ sunt in terra portæ ejus,
perdidit et contrivit vectes ejus;
regem ejus et principes ejus in gentibus:
non est lex,
et prophetæ ejus non invenerunt
visionem a Domino.

10 Sederunt in terra, conticuerunt
senes filiæ Sion;
consperserunt cinere capita sua,
accincti sunt ciliciis:
abjecerunt in terram capita sua
virgines Jerusalem.

11 Defecerunt præ lacrimis oculi mei,
conturbata sunt viscera mea;
effusum est in terra jecur meum
super contritione filiæ populi mei,
cum deficeret parvulus et lactens
in plateis oppidi.

12 Matribus suis dixerunt:
Ubi est triticum et vinum?
cum deficerent quasi vulnerati
in plateis civitatis,
cum exhalarent animas suas
in sinu matrum suarum.

13 Cui comparabo te, vel cui assimilabo te,
filia Jerusalem?
cui exæquabo te, et consolabor te,
virgo, filia Sion?
magna est enim velut mare contritio tua:
quis medebitur tui?

14 Prophetæ tui viderunt tibi
falsa et stulta;
nec aperiebant iniquitatem tuam,
ut te ad pœnitentiam provocarent;
viderunt autem tibi assumptiones falsas,
et ejectiones.

15 Plauserunt super te manibus
omnes transeuntes per viam;
sibilaverunt et moverunt caput suum
super filiam Jerusalem:
Hæccine est urbs, dicentes, perfecti decoris,
gaudium universæ terræ?

16 Aperuerunt super te os suum
omnes inimici tui:
sibilaverunt, et fremuerunt dentibus,
et dixerunt: Devorabimus:
en ista est dies quam exspectabamus;
invenimus, vidimus.

17 Fecit Dominus quæ cogitavit;
complevit sermonem suum,
quem præceperat a diebus antiquis:
destruxit, et non pepercit,
et lætificavit super te inimicum,
et exaltavit cornu hostium tuorum.

18 Clamavit cor eorum ad Dominum
super muros filiæ Sion:
Deduc quasi torrentem lacrimas
per diem et noctem;
non des requiem tibi,
neque taceat pupilla oculi tui.

19 Consurge, lauda in nocte,
in principio vigiliarum;
effunde sicut aquam cor tuum
ante conspectum Domini:
leva ad eum manus tuas
pro anima parvulorum tuorum,
qui defecerunt in fame
in capite omnium compitorum.

20 Vide, Domine, et considera
quem vindemiaveris ita.
Ergone comedent mulieres fructum suum,
parvulos ad mensuram palmæ?
si occiditur in sanctuario Domini
sacerdos et propheta?

21 Jacuerunt in terra foris
puer et senex;
virgines meæ et juvenes mei
ceciderunt in gladio:
interfecisti in die furoris tui,
percussisti, nec misertus es.

22 Vocasti quasi ad diem solemnem,
qui terrerent me de circuitu;
et non fuit in die furoris Domini qui effugeret,
et relinqueretur:
quos educavi et enutrivi,
inimicus meus consumpsit eos.]
