Lamentations Chapter 2 - King James Strong Number Version

1: How hath the Lord <H0136> covered the daughter <H1323> of Zion <H6726> with a cloud <H5743> in his anger, <H0639> [and] cast down <H7993> from heaven <H8064> unto the earth <H0776> the beauty <H8597> of Israel, <H3478> and remembered <H2142> not his footstool <H1916> <H7272> in the day <H3117> of his anger! <H0639>
2: The Lord <H0136> hath swallowed up <H1104> all the habitations <H4999> of Jacob, <H3290> and hath not pitied: <H2550> he hath thrown down <H2040> in his wrath <H5678> the strong holds <H4013> of the daughter <H1323> of Judah; <H3063> he hath brought [them] down <H5060> to the ground: <H0776> he hath polluted <H2490> the kingdom <H4467> and the princes <H8269> thereof.
3: He hath cut off <H1438> in [his] fierce <H2750> anger <H0639> all the horn <H7161> of Israel: <H3478> he hath drawn <H7725> back <H0268> his right hand <H3225> from before <H6440> the enemy, <H0341> and he burned <H1197> against Jacob <H3290> like a flaming <H3852> fire, <H0784> [which] devoureth <H0398> round about. <H5439>
4: He hath bent <H1869> his bow <H7198> like an enemy: <H0341> he stood <H5324> with his right hand <H3225> as an adversary, <H6862> and slew <H2026> all [that were] pleasant <H4261> to the eye <H5869> in the tabernacle <H0168> of the daughter <H1323> of Zion: <H6726> he poured out <H8210> his fury <H2534> like fire. <H0784>
5: The Lord <H0136> was as an enemy: <H0341> he hath swallowed up <H1104> Israel, <H3478> he hath swallowed up <H1104> all her palaces: <H0759> he hath destroyed <H7843> his strong holds, <H4013> and hath increased <H7235> in the daughter <H1323> of Judah <H3063> mourning <H8386> and lamentation. <H0592>
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> hath caused the solemn feasts <H4150> and sabbaths <H7676> to be forgotten <H7911> in Zion, <H6726> and hath despised <H5006> in the indignation <H2195> of his anger <H0639> the king <H4428> and the priest. <H3548>
7: The Lord <H0136> hath cast off <H2186> his altar, <H4196> he hath abhorred <H5010> his sanctuary, <H4720> he hath given up <H5462> into the hand <H3027> of the enemy <H0341> the walls <H2346> of her palaces; <H0759> they have made <H5414> a noise <H6963> in the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> as in the day <H3117> of a solemn feast. <H4150>
8: The LORD <H3068> hath purposed <H2803> to destroy <H7843> the wall <H2346> of the daughter <H1323> of Zion: <H6726> he hath stretched out <H5186> a line, <H6957> he hath not withdrawn <H7725> his hand <H3027> from destroying: <H1104> therefore he made the rampart <H2426> and the wall <H2346> to lament; <H0056> they languished <H0535> together. <H3162>
9: Her gates <H8179> are sunk <H2883> into the ground; <H0776> he hath destroyed <H0006> and broken <H7665> her bars: <H1280> her king <H4428> and her princes <H8269> [are] among the Gentiles: <H1471> the law <H8451> [is] no [more]; her prophets <H5030> also find <H4672> no vision <H2377> from the LORD. <H3068>
10: The elders <H2205> of the daughter <H1323> of Zion <H6726> sit <H3427> upon the ground, <H0776> [and] keep silence: <H1826> they have cast up <H5927> dust <H6083> upon their heads; <H7218> they have girded <H2296> themselves with sackcloth: <H8242> the virgins <H1330> of Jerusalem <H3389> hang down <H3381> their heads <H7218> to the ground. <H0776>
11: Mine eyes <H5869> do fail <H3615> with tears, <H1832> my bowels <H4578> are troubled, <H2560> my liver <H3516> is poured <H8210> upon the earth, <H0776> for the destruction <H7667> of the daughter <H1323> 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 <H0559> to their mothers, <H0517> Where [is] corn <H1715> and wine? <H3196> when they swooned <H5848> as the wounded <H2491> in the streets <H7339> of the city, <H5892> when their soul <H5315> was poured out <H8210> into their mothers' <H0517> bosom. <H2436>
13: What thing shall I take to witness <H5749> for thee? what thing <H4100> shall I liken <H1819> to thee, O daughter <H1323> of Jerusalem? <H3389> what shall I equal <H7737> to thee, that I may comfort <H5162> thee, O virgin <H1330> daughter <H1323> of Zion? <H6726> for thy breach <H7667> [is] great <H1419> like the sea: <H3220> who can heal <H7495> thee?
14: Thy prophets <H5030> have seen <H2372> vain <H7723> and foolish things <H8602> for thee: and they have not discovered <H1540> thine iniquity, <H5771> to turn away <H7725> thy captivity; <H7622> <H7622> but have seen <H2372> for thee false <H7723> burdens <H4864> and causes of banishment. <H4065>
15: All that pass by <H5674> <H1870> clap <H5606> [their] hands <H3709> at thee; they hiss <H8319> and wag <H5128> their head <H7218> at the daughter <H1323> of Jerusalem, <H3389> [saying, Is] this the city <H5892> that [men] call <H0559> The perfection <H3632> of beauty, <H3308> The joy <H4885> of the whole earth? <H0776>
16: All thine enemies <H0341> have opened <H6475> their mouth <H6310> against thee: they hiss <H8319> and gnash <H2786> the teeth: <H8127> they say, <H0559> We have swallowed [her] up: <H1104> certainly <H0389> this [is] the day <H3117> that we looked for; <H6960> we have found, <H4672> we have seen <H7200> [it].
17: The LORD <H3068> hath done <H6213> [that] which he had devised; <H2161> he hath fulfilled <H1214> his word <H0565> that he had commanded <H6680> in the days <H3117> of old: <H6924> he hath thrown down, <H2040> and hath not pitied: <H2550> and he hath caused [thine] enemy <H0341> to rejoice <H8055> over thee, he hath set up <H7311> the horn <H7161> of thine adversaries. <H6862>
18: Their heart <H3820> cried <H6817> unto the Lord, <H0136> O wall <H2346> of the daughter <H1323> of Zion, <H6726> let tears <H1832> run down <H3381> like a river <H5158> day <H3119> and night: <H3915> give <H5414> thyself no rest; <H6314> let not the apple <H1323> of thine eye <H5869> cease. <H1826>
19: Arise, <H6965> cry out <H7442> in the night: <H3915> in the beginning <H7218> of the watches <H0821> pour out <H8210> thine heart <H3820> like water <H4325> before <H5227> the face <H6440> of the Lord: <H0136> lift up <H5375> thy hands <H3709> toward him for the life <H5315> of thy young children, <H5768> that faint <H5848> for hunger <H7458> in the top <H7218> of every street. <H2351>
20: Behold, <H7200> O LORD, <H3068> and consider <H5027> to whom thou hast done <H5953> this. <H3541> Shall the women <H0802> eat <H0398> their fruit, <H6529> [and] children <H5768> of a span long? <H2949> shall the priest <H3548> and the prophet <H5030> be slain <H2026> in the sanctuary <H4720> of the Lord? <H0136>
21: The young <H5288> and the old <H2205> lie <H7901> on the ground <H0776> in the streets: <H2351> my virgins <H1330> and my young men <H0970> are fallen <H5307> by the sword; <H2719> thou hast slain <H2026> [them] in the day <H3117> of thine anger; <H0639> thou hast killed, <H2873> [and] not pitied. <H2550>
22: Thou hast called <H7121> as in a solemn <H4150> day <H3117> my terrors <H4032> round about, <H5439> so that in the day <H3117> of the LORD'S <H3068> anger <H0639> none escaped <H6412> nor remained: <H8300> those that I have swaddled <H2946> and brought up <H7235> hath mine enemy <H0341> consumed. <H3615>
