Lamentations 4

KJV

1  How³⁴⁹ is the gold²⁰⁹¹ become dim!⁶⁰⁰⁴ how is the most²⁸⁹⁶ fine gold³⁸⁰⁰ changed!⁸¹³² the stones⁶⁸ of the sanctuary⁶⁹⁴⁴ are poured out⁸²¹⁰ in the top⁷²¹⁸ of every³⁶⁰⁵ street.²³⁵¹

2  The precious³³⁶⁸ sons¹¹²¹ of Zion,⁶⁷²⁶ comparable⁵⁵³⁷ to fine gold,⁶³³⁷ how³⁴⁹ are they esteemed²⁸⁰³ as earthen²⁷⁸⁹ pitchers,⁵⁰³⁵ the work⁴⁶³⁹ of the hands³⁰²⁷ of the potter!³³³⁵

3  Even¹⁵⁷¹ the sea monsters⁸⁵⁶⁵ draw out²⁵⁰² the breast,⁷⁶⁹⁹ they give suck³²⁴³ to their young ones:¹⁴⁸² the daughter¹³²³ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ is become cruel,³⁹³ like the ostriches³²⁸³ in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

4  The tongue³⁹⁵⁶ of the sucking child³²⁴³ cleaveth¹⁶⁹² to⁴¹³ the roof of his mouth²⁴⁴¹ for thirst:⁶⁷⁷² the young children⁵⁷⁶⁸ ask⁷⁵⁹² bread,³⁸⁹⁹ and no man³⁶⁹ breaketh⁶⁵⁶⁶ it unto them.

5  They that did feed³⁹⁸ delicately⁴⁵⁷⁴ are desolate⁸⁰⁷⁴ in the streets:²³⁵¹ they that were brought up⁵³⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ scarlet⁸⁴³⁸ embrace²²⁶³ dunghills.⁸³⁰

6  For the punishment of the iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ of the daughter¹³²³ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ is greater¹⁴³¹ than the punishment of the sin^{4480 2403} of Sodom,⁵⁴⁶⁷ that was overthrown²⁰¹⁵ as in³⁶⁴⁴ a moment,⁷²⁸¹ and no³⁸⁰⁸ hands³⁰²⁷ stayed²³⁴² on her.

7  Her Nazarites⁵¹³⁹ were purer²¹⁴¹ than snow,^{4480 7950} they were whiter⁶⁷⁰⁵ than milk,^{4480 2461} they were more ruddy¹¹⁹ in body⁶¹⁰⁶ than rubies,^{4480 6443} their polishing¹⁵⁰⁸ was of sapphire:⁵⁶⁰¹

8  Their visage⁸³⁸⁹ is blacker²⁸²¹ than a coal;^{4480 7815} they are not³⁸⁰⁸ known⁵²³⁴ in the streets:²³⁵¹ their skin⁵⁷⁸⁵ cleaveth⁶⁸²¹ to⁵⁹²¹ their bones;⁶¹⁰⁶ it is withered,³⁰⁰¹ it is become¹⁹⁶¹ like a stick.⁶⁰⁸⁶

9  They that be slain²⁴⁹¹ with the sword²⁷¹⁹ are¹⁹⁶¹ better²⁸⁹⁶ than they that be slain^{4480 2491} with hunger:⁷⁴⁵⁸ for these^{7945 1992} pine away,²¹⁰⁰ stricken through¹⁸⁵⁶ for want of the fruits^{4480 8570} of the field.⁷⁷⁰⁴

10  The hands³⁰²⁷ of the pitiful⁷³⁶² women⁸⁰² have sodden¹³¹⁰ their own children:³²⁰⁶ they were¹⁹⁶¹ their meat¹²⁶² in the destruction⁷⁶⁶⁷ of the daughter¹³²³ of my people.⁵⁹⁷¹

11  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath accomplished^{3615 853} his fury;²⁵³⁴ he hath poured out⁸²¹⁰ his fierce²⁷⁴⁰ anger,⁶³⁹ and hath kindled³³⁴¹ a fire⁷⁸⁴ in Zion,⁶⁷²⁶ and it hath devoured³⁹⁸ the foundations³²⁴⁷ thereof.

12  The kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the world,⁸³⁹⁸ would not³⁸⁰⁸ have believed⁵³⁹ that³⁵⁸⁸ the adversary⁶⁸⁶² and the enemy³⁴¹ should have entered⁹³⁵ into the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

13  For the sins^{4480 2403} of her prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and the iniquities⁵⁷⁷¹ of her priests,³⁵⁴⁸ that have shed⁸²¹⁰ the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of the just⁶⁶⁶² in the midst⁷¹³⁰ of her,

14  They have wandered⁵¹²⁸ as blind⁵⁷⁸⁷ men in the streets,²³⁵¹ they have polluted¹³⁵¹ themselves with blood,¹⁸¹⁸ so that men could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ touch⁵⁰⁶⁰ their garments.³⁸³⁰

15  They cried⁷¹²¹ unto them, Depart⁵⁴⁹³ ye; it is unclean;²⁹³¹ depart,⁵⁴⁹³ depart,⁵⁴⁹³ touch⁵⁰⁶⁰ not:⁴⁰⁸ when³⁵⁸⁸ they fled away⁵¹³² and¹⁵⁷¹ wandered,⁵¹²⁸ they said⁵⁵⁹ among the heathen,¹⁴⁷¹ They shall no³⁸⁰⁸ more³²⁵⁴ sojourn¹⁴⁸¹ there.

16  The anger⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath divided²⁵⁰⁵ them; he will no³⁸⁰⁸ more³²⁵⁴ regard⁵⁰²⁷ them: they respected⁵³⁷⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ the persons⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ they favored²⁶⁰³ not³⁸⁰⁸ the elders.²²⁰⁵

17  As for us, our eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ as yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ failed³⁶¹⁵ for⁴¹³ our vain¹⁸⁹² help:⁵⁸³³ in our watching⁶⁸³⁶ we have watched⁶⁸²² for⁴¹³ a nation¹⁴⁷¹ that could not³⁸⁰⁸ save³⁴⁶⁷ us.

18  They hunt⁶⁶⁷⁹ our steps,⁶⁸⁰⁶ that we cannot go^{4480 1980} in our streets:⁷³³⁹ our end⁷⁰⁹³ is near,⁷¹²⁶ our days³¹¹⁷ are fulfilled;⁴³⁹⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ our end⁷⁰⁹³ is come.⁹³⁵

19  Our persecutors⁷²⁹¹ are¹⁹⁶¹ swifter⁷⁰³¹ than the eagles^{4480 5404} of the heaven:⁸⁰⁶⁴ they pursued¹⁸¹⁴ us upon⁵⁹²¹ the mountains,²⁰²² they laid wait⁶⁹³ for us in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

20  The breath⁷³⁰⁷ of our nostrils,⁶³⁹ the anointed⁴⁸⁹⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ was taken³⁹²⁰ in their pits,⁷⁸²⁵ of whom⁸³⁴ we said,⁵⁵⁹ Under his shadow⁶⁷³⁸ we shall live²⁴²¹ among the heathen.¹⁴⁷¹

21  Rejoice⁷⁷⁹⁷ and be glad,⁸⁰⁵⁵ O daughter¹³²³ of Edom,¹²³ that dwellest³⁴²⁷ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Uz;⁵⁷⁸⁰ the cup³⁵⁶³ also¹⁵⁷¹ shall pass through⁵⁶⁷⁴ unto⁵⁹²¹ thee: thou shalt be drunken,⁷⁹³⁷ and shalt make thyself naked.⁶¹⁶⁸

22  The punishment of thine iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ is accomplished,⁸⁵⁵² O daughter¹³²³ of Zion;⁶⁷²⁶ he will no³⁸⁰⁸ more³²⁵⁴ carry thee away into captivity:¹⁵⁴⁰ he will visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ thine iniquity,⁵⁷⁷¹ O daughter¹³²³ of Edom;¹²³ he will discover^{1540 5921} thy sins.²⁴⁰³

1 πῶς ἀμαυρωθήσεται χρυσίον ἀλλοιωθήσεται τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ ἀγαθόν ἐξεχύθησαν λίθοι ἅγιοι ἐπ᾽ ἀρχῆς πασῶν ἐξόδων

2 υἱοὶ Σιων οἱ τίμιοι οἱ ἐπηρμένοι ἐν χρυσίῳ πῶς ἐλογίσθησαν εἰς ἀγγεῖα ὀστράκινα ἔργα χειρῶν κεραμέως

3 καί γε δράκοντες ἐξέδυσαν μαστούς ἐθήλασαν σκύμνοι αὐτῶν θυγατέρες λαοῦ μου εἰς ἀνίατον ὡς στρουθίον ἐν ἐρήμῳ

4 ἐκολλήθη ἡ γλῶσσα θηλάζοντος πρὸς τὸν φάρυγγα αὐτοῦ ἐν δίψει νήπια ᾔτησαν ἄρτον ὁ διακλῶν οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς

5 οἱ ἔσθοντες τὰς τρυφὰς ἠφανίσθησαν ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις οἱ τιθηνούμενοι ἐπὶ κόκκων περιεβάλοντο κοπρίας

6 καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη ἀνομία θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου ὑπὲρ ἀνομίας Σοδομων τῆς κατεστραμμένης ὥσπερ σπουδῇ καὶ οὐκ ἐπόνεσαν ἐν αὐτῇ χεῖρας

7 ἐκαθαριώθησαν ναζιραῖοι αὐτῆς ὑπὲρ χιόνα ἔλαμψαν ὑπὲρ γάλα ἐπυρρώθησαν ὑπὲρ λίθους σαπφείρου τὸ ἀπόσπασμα αὐτῶν

8 ἐσκότασεν ὑπὲρ ἀσβόλην τὸ εἶδος αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐπεγνώσθησαν ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις ἐπάγη δέρμα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰ ὀστέα αὐτῶν ἐξηράνθησαν ἐγενήθησαν ὥσπερ ξύλον

9 καλοὶ ἦσαν οἱ τραυματίαι ῥομφαίας ἢ οἱ τραυματίαι λιμοῦ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐκκεκεντημένοι ἀπὸ γενημάτων ἀγρῶν

10 χεῖρες γυναικῶν οἰκτιρμόνων ἥψησαν τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν ἐγενήθησαν εἰς βρῶσιν αὐταῖς ἐν τῷ συντρίμματι τῆς θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου

11 συνετέλεσεν κύριος θυμὸν αὐτοῦ ἐξέχεεν θυμὸν ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνῆψεν πῦρ ἐν Σιων καὶ κατέφαγεν τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς

12 οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν βασιλεῖς γῆς πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην ὅτι εἰσελεύσεται ἐχθρὸς καὶ ἐκθλίβων διὰ τῶν πυλῶν Ιερουσαλημ

13 ἐξ ἁμαρτιῶν προφητῶν αὐτῆς ἀδικιῶν ἱερέων αὐτῆς τῶν ἐκχεόντων αἷμα δίκαιον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς

14 ἐσαλεύθησαν ἐγρήγοροι αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις ἐμολύνθησαν ἐν αἵματι ἐν τῷ μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς ἥψαντο ἐνδυμάτων αὐτῶν

15 ἀπόστητε ἀκαθάρτων καλέσατε αὐτούς ἀπόστητε ἀπόστητε μὴ ἅπτεσθε ὅτι ἀνήφθησαν καί γε ἐσαλεύθησαν εἴπατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν οὐ μὴ προσθῶσιν τοῦ παροικεῖν

16 πρόσωπον κυρίου μερὶς αὐτῶν οὐ προσθήσει ἐπιβλέψαι αὐτοῖς πρόσωπον ἱερέων οὐκ ἔλαβον πρεσβύτας οὐκ ἠλέησαν

17 ἔτι ὄντων ἡμῶν ἐξέλιπον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν εἰς τὴν βοήθειαν ἡμῶν μάταια ἀποσκοπευόντων ἡμῶν ἀπεσκοπεύσαμεν εἰς ἔθνος οὐ σῷζον

18 ἐθηρεύσαμεν μικροὺς ἡμῶν τοῦ μὴ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἡμῶν ἤγγικεν ὁ καιρὸς ἡμῶν ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι ἡμῶν πάρεστιν ὁ καιρὸς ἡμῶν

19 κοῦφοι ἐγένοντο οἱ διώκοντες ἡμᾶς ὑπὲρ ἀετοὺς οὐρανοῦ ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων ἐξήφθησαν ἐν ἐρήμῳ ἐνήδρευσαν ἡμᾶς

20 πνεῦμα προσώπου ἡμῶν χριστὸς κυρίου συνελήμφθη ἐν ταῖς διαφθοραῖς αὐτῶν οὗ εἴπαμεν ἐν τῇ σκιᾷ αὐτοῦ ζησόμεθα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν

21 χαῖρε καὶ εὐφραίνου θύγατερ Ιδουμαίας ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐπὶ γῆς καί γε ἐπὶ σὲ διελεύσεται τὸ ποτήριον κυρίου καὶ μεθυσθήσῃ καὶ ἀποχεεῖς

22 ἐξέλιπεν ἡ ἀνομία σου θύγατερ Σιων οὐ προσθήσει ἔτι ἀποικίσαι σε ἐπεσκέψατο ἀνομίας σου θύγατερ Εδωμ ἀπεκάλυψεν ἐπὶ τὰ ἀσεβήματά σου

1 [Quomodo obscuratum est aurum,
mutatus est color optimus!
dispersi sunt lapides sanctuarii
in capite omnium platearum!

2 Filii Sion inclyti,
et amicti auro primo:
quomodo reputati sunt in vasa testea,
opus manuum figuli!

3 Sed et lamiæ nudaverunt mammam,
lactaverunt catulos suos:
filia populi mei crudelis
quasi struthio in deserto.

4 Adhæsit lingua lactentis
ad palatum ejus in siti;
parvuli petierunt panem,
et non erat qui frangeret eis.

5 Qui vescebantur voluptuose,
interierunt in viis;
qui nutriebantur in croceis,
amplexati sunt stercora.

6 Et major effecta est iniquitas filiæ populi mei
peccato Sodomorum,
quæ subversa est in momento,
et non ceperunt in ea manus.

7 Candidiores Nazaræi ejus nive,
nitidiores lacte,
rubicundiores ebore antiquo,
sapphiro pulchriores.

8 Denigrata est super carbones facies eorum
et non sunt cogniti in plateis;
adhæsit cutis eorum ossibus:
aruit, et facta est quasi lignum.

9 Melius fuit occisis gladio
quam interfectis fame,
quoniam isti extabuerunt consumpti
a sterilitate terræ.

10 Manus mulierum misericordium
coxerunt filios suos;
facti sunt cibus earum
in contritione filiæ populi mei.

11 Complevit Dominus furorem suum,
effudit iram indignationis suæ:
et succendit ignem in Sion,
et devoravit fundamenta ejus.

12 Non crediderunt reges terræ,
et universi habitatores orbis,
quoniam ingrederetur hostis et inimicus
per portas Jerusalem.

13 Propter peccata prophetarum ejus,
et iniquitates sacerdotum ejus,
qui effuderunt in medio ejus
sanguinem justorum.

14 Erraverunt cæci in plateis,
polluti sunt in sanguine;
cumque non possent,
tenuerunt lacinias suas.

15 Recedite polluti, clamaverunt eis;
recedite, abite, nolite tangere:
jurgati quippe sunt, et commoti dixerunt inter gentes:
Non addet ultra ut habitet in eis.

16 Facies Domini divisit eos,
non addet ut respiciat eos;
facies sacerdotum non erubuerunt,
neque senum miserti sunt.

17 Cum adhuc subsisteremus, defecerunt oculi nostri
ad auxilium nostrum vanum;
cum respiceremus attenti ad gentem
quæ salvare non poterat.

18 Lubricaverunt vestigia nostra
in itinere platearum nostrarum;
appropinquavit finis noster, completi sunt dies nostri,
quia venit finis noster.

19 Velociores fuerunt persecutores nostri
aquilis cæli;
super montes persecuti sunt nos,
in deserto insidiati sunt nobis.

20 Spiritus oris nostri, christus Dominus,
captus est in peccatis nostris,
cui diximus: In umbra tua
vivemus in gentibus.

21 Gaude et lætare, filia Edom,
quæ habitas in terra Hus!
ad te quoque perveniet calix: inebriaberis,
atque nudaberis.

22 Completa est iniquitas tua, filia Sion:
non addet ultra ut transmigret te.
Visitavit iniquitatem tuam, filia Edom;
discooperuit peccata tua.]
