Lamentations Chapter 4 - King James Strong Number Version

1: How is the gold <H2091> become dim! <H6004> [how] is the most <H2896> fine gold <H3800> changed! <H8132> the stones <H0068> of the sanctuary <H6944> are poured out <H8210> in the top <H7218> of every street. <H2351>
2: The precious <H3368> sons <H1121> of Zion, <H6726> comparable <H5537> to fine gold, <H6337> how are they esteemed <H2803> as earthen <H2789> pitchers, <H5035> the work <H4639> of the hands <H3027> of the potter! <H3335>
3: Even the sea monsters <H8577> draw out <H2502> the breast, <H7699> they give suck <H3243> to their young ones: <H1484> the daughter <H1323> of my people <H5971> [is become] cruel, <H0393> like the ostriches <H3283> in the wilderness. <H4057>
4: The tongue <H3956> of the sucking child <H3243> cleaveth <H1692> to the roof of his mouth <H2441> for thirst: <H6772> the young children <H5768> ask <H7592> bread, <H3899> [and] no man breaketh <H6566> [it] unto them.
5: They that did feed <H0398> delicately <H4574> are desolate <H8074> in the streets: <H2351> they that were brought up <H0539> in scarlet <H8438> embrace <H2263> dunghills. <H0830>
6: For the punishment of the iniquity <H5771> of the daughter <H1323> of my people <H5971> is greater <H1431> than the punishment <H2403> of the sin of Sodom, <H5467> that was overthrown <H2015> as in a moment, <H7281> and no hands <H3027> stayed <H2342> on her.
7: Her Nazarites <H5139> were purer <H2141> than snow, <H7950> they were whiter <H6705> than milk, <H2461> they were more ruddy <H0119> in body <H6106> than rubies, <H6443> their polishing <H1508> [was] of sapphire: <H5601>
8: Their visage <H8389> is blacker <H2821> than a coal; <H7815> they are not known <H5234> in the streets: <H2351> their skin <H5785> cleaveth <H6821> to their bones; <H6106> it is withered, <H3001> it is become like a stick. <H6086>
9: [They that be] slain <H2491> with the sword <H2719> are better <H2896> than [they that be] slain <H2491> with hunger: <H7458> for these <H1992> pine away, <H2100> stricken through <H1856> for [want of] the fruits <H8570> of the field. <H7704>
10: The hands <H3027> of the pitiful <H7362> women <H0802> have sodden <H1310> their own children: <H3206> they were their meat <H1262> in the destruction <H7667> of the daughter <H1323> of my people. <H5971>
11: The LORD <H3068> hath accomplished <H3615> his fury; <H2534> he hath poured out <H8210> his fierce <H2740> anger, <H0639> and hath kindled <H3341> a fire <H0784> in Zion, <H6726> and it hath devoured <H0398> the foundations <H3247> thereof.
12: The kings <H4428> of the earth, <H0776> and all the inhabitants <H3427> of the world, <H8398> would not have believed <H0539> that the adversary <H6862> and the enemy <H0341> should have entered <H0935> into the gates <H8179> of Jerusalem. <H3389>
13: For the sins <H2403> of her prophets, <H5030> [and] the iniquities <H5771> of her priests, <H3548> that have shed <H8210> the blood <H1818> of the just <H6662> in the midst <H7130> of her,
14: They have wandered <H5128> [as] blind <H5787> [men] in the streets, <H2351> they have polluted <H1351> themselves with blood, <H1818> so that men could <H3201> not <H3808> touch <H5060> their garments. <H3830>
15: They cried <H7121> unto them, Depart <H5493> ye; [it is] unclean; <H2931> depart, <H5493> depart, <H5493> touch <H5060> not: when they fled away <H5132> and wandered, <H5128> they said <H0559> among the heathen, <H1471> They shall no more <H3254> sojourn <H1481> [there].
16: The anger <H6440> of the LORD <H3068> hath divided <H2505> them; he will no more <H3254> regard <H5027> them: they respected <H5375> not the persons <H6440> of the priests, <H3548> they favoured <H2603> not the elders. <H2205>
17: As for us, our eyes <H5869> as yet failed <H3615> for our vain <H1892> help: <H5833> in our watching <H6836> we have watched <H6822> for a nation <H1471> [that] could not save <H3467> [us].
18: They hunt <H6679> our steps, <H6806> that we cannot go <H3212> in our streets: <H7339> our end <H7093> is near, <H7126> our days <H3117> are fulfilled; <H4390> for our end <H7093> is come. <H0935>
19: Our persecutors <H7291> are swifter <H7031> than the eagles <H5404> of the heaven: <H8064> they pursued <H1814> us upon the mountains, <H2022> they laid wait <H0693> for us in the wilderness. <H4057>
20: The breath <H7307> of our nostrils, <H0639> the anointed <H4899> of the LORD, <H3068> was taken <H3920> in their pits, <H7825> of whom we said, <H0559> Under his shadow <H6738> we shall live <H2421> among the heathen. <H1471>
21: Rejoice <H7797> and be glad, <H8055> O daughter <H1323> of Edom, <H0123> that dwellest <H3427> in the land <H0776> of Uz; <H5780> the cup <H3563> also shall pass <H5674> through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, <H7937> and shalt make thyself naked. <H6168>
22: The punishment of thine iniquity <H5771> is accomplished, <H8552> O daughter <H1323> of Zion; <H6726> he will no more <H3254> carry thee away into captivity: <H1540> he will visit <H6485> thine iniquity, <H5771> O daughter <H1323> of Edom; <H0123> he will discover <H1540> thy sins. <H2403>
