Bible. Lamentations
25:001:013 From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth
against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned
me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
25:001:014 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are
wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength
to fall, the LORD hath delivered me into their hands, from
whom I am not able to rise up.
25:001:015 The LORD hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the
midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my
young men: the LORD hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of
Judah, as in a winepress.
25:001:016 For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with
water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is
far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy
prevailed.
25:001:017 Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort
her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his
adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a
menstruous woman among them.
25:001:018 The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his
commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my
sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
25:001:019 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and
mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought
their meat to relieve their souls.
25:001:020 Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled;
mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously
rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as
death.
25:001:021 They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all
mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou
hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called,
and they shall be like unto me.
25:001:022 Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them,
as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my
sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
25:002:001 How hath the LORD covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in
his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty
of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his
anger!
25:002:002 The LORD hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and
hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong
holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to
the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes
thereof.
