+Book 25 Lamentations
+
+25:001:001 How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how
+ is she become as a widow! she that was great among the
+ nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become
+ tributary!
+
+25:001:002 She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her
+ cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all
+ her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become
+ her enemies.
+
+25:001:003 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and
+ because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen,
+ she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between
+ the straits.
+
+25:001:004 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn
+ feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her
+ virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
+
+25:001:005 Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the
+ LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her
+ transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before
+ the enemy.
+
+25:001:006 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her
+ princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they
+ are gone without strength before the pursuer.
+
+25:001:007 Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her
+ miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of
+ old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none
+ did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her
+ sabbaths.
+
+25:001:008 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed:
+ all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her
+ nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.
+
+25:001:009 Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last
+ end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no
+ comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath
+ magnified himself.
+
+25:001:010 The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant
+ things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her
+ sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter
+ into thy congregation.
+
+25:001:011 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their
+ pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and
+ consider; for I am become vile.
+
+25:001:012 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if
+ there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto
+ me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his
+ fierce anger.
+
+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.
+
+25:002:003 He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he
+ hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he
+ burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth
+ round about.
+
+25:002:004 He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right
+ hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the
+ eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out
+ his fury like fire.
+
+25:002:005 The LORD was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath
+ swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong
+ holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning
+ and lamentation.
+
+25:002:006 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were
+ of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the
+ LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be
+ forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his
+ anger the king and the priest.
+
+25:002:007 The LORD hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his
+ sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the
+ walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of
+ the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.
+
+25:002:008 The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of
+ Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his
+ hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the
+ wall to lament; they languished together.
+
+25:002:009 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and
+ broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the
+ Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision
+ from the LORD.
+
+25:002:010 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and
+ keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they
+ have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of
+ Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
+
+25:002:011 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver
+ is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter
+ of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in
+ the streets of the city.
+
+25:002:012 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they
+ swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their
+ soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.
+
+25:002:013 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall
+ I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal
+ to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion?
+ for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?
+
+25:002:014 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and
+ they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy
+ captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of
+ banishment.
+
+25:002:015 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag
+ their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the
+ city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the
+ whole earth?
+
+25:002:016 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they
+ hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up:
+ certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found,
+ we have seen it.
+
+25:002:017 The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath
+ fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old:
+ he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused
+ thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of
+ thine adversaries.
+
+25:002:018 Their heart cried unto the LORD, O wall of the daughter of
+ Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give
+ thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.
+
+25:002:019 Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches
+ pour out thine heart like water before the face of the LORD:
+ lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young
+ children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.
+
+25:002:020 Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this.
+ Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long?
+ shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of
+ the Lord?
+
+25:002:021 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my
+ virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast
+ slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and
+ not pitied.
+
+25:002:022 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so
+ that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor remained:
+ those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy
+ consumed.
+
+25:003:001 I AM the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his
+ wrath.
+
+25:003:002 He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into
+ light.
+
+25:003:003 Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me
+ all the day.
+
+25:003:004 My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my
+ bones.
+
+25:003:005 He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and
+ travail.
+
+25:003:006 He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
+
+25:003:007 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made
+ my chain heavy.
+
+25:003:008 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
+
+25:003:009 He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my
+ paths crooked.
+
+25:003:010 He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in
+ secret places.
+
+25:003:011 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath
+ made me desolate.
+
+25:003:012 He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
+
+25:003:013 He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my
+ reins.
+
+25:003:014 I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
+
+25:003:015 He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken
+ with wormwood.
+
+25:003:016 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath
+ covered me with ashes.
+
+25:003:017 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat
+ prosperity.
+
+25:003:018 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:
+
+25:003:019 Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and
+ the gall.
+
+25:003:020 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
+
+25:003:021 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
+
+25:003:022 It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because
+ his compassions fail not.
+
+25:003:023 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
+
+25:003:024 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope
+ in him.
+
+25:003:025 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that
+ seeketh him.
+
+25:003:026 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for
+ the salvation of the LORD.
+
+25:003:027 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke of his youth.
+
+25:003:028 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it
+ upon him.
+
+25:003:029 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
+
+25:003:030 He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full
+ with reproach.
+
+25:003:031 For the LORD will not cast off for ever:
+
+25:003:032 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion
+ according to the multitude of his mercies.
+
+25:003:033 For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of
+ men.
+
+25:003:034 To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth.
+
+25:003:035 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most
+ High,
+
+25:003:036 To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approveth not.
+
+25:003:037 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord
+ commandeth it not?
+
+25:003:038 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and
+ good?
+
+25:003:039 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment
+ of his sins?
+
+25:003:040 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
+
+25:003:041 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the
+ heavens.
+
+25:003:042 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not
+ pardoned.
+
+25:003:043 Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast
+ slain, thou hast not pitied.
+
+25:003:044 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should
+ not pass through.
+
+25:003:045 Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst
+ of the people.
+
+25:003:046 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
+
+25:003:047 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
+
+25:003:048 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction
+ of the daughter of my people.
+
+25:003:049 Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any
+ intermission.
+
+25:003:050 Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
+
+25:003:051 Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of
+ my city.
+
+25:003:052 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
+
+25:003:053 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone
+ upon me.
+
+25:003:054 Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
+
+25:003:055 I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
+
+25:003:056 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing,
+ at my cry.
+
+25:003:057 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou
+ saidst, Fear not.
+
+25:003:058 O LORD, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast
+ redeemed my life.
+
+25:003:059 O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
+
+25:003:060 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations
+ against me.
+
+25:003:061 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their
+ imaginations against me;
+
+25:003:062 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device
+ against me all the day.
+
+25:003:063 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their
+ musick.
+
+25:003:064 Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work
+ of their hands.
+
+25:003:065 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
+
+25:003:066 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of
+ the LORD.
+
+25:004:001 How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed!
+ the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every
+ street.
+
+25:004:002 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are
+ they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of
+ the potter!
+
+25:004:003 Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to
+ their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel,
+ like the ostriches in the wilderness.
+
+25:004:004 The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his
+ mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man
+ breaketh it unto them.
+
+25:004:005 They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets:
+ they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
+
+25:004:006 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my
+ people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom,
+ that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on
+ her.
+
+25:004:007 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than
+ milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their
+ polishing was of sapphire:
+
+25:004:008 Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the
+ streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered,
+ it is become like a stick.
+
+25:004:009 They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be
+ slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for
+ want of the fruits of the field.
+
+25:004:010 The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children:
+ they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my
+ people.
+
+25:004:011 The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his
+ fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath
+ devoured the foundations thereof.
+
+25:004:012 The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world,
+ would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy
+ should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.
+
+25:004:013 For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her
+ priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of
+ her,
+
+25:004:014 They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have
+ polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch
+ their garments.
+
+25:004:015 They cried unto them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart,
+ depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said
+ among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there.
+
+25:004:016 The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more
+ regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests,
+ they favoured not the elders.
+
+25:004:017 As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our
+ watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.
+
+25:004:018 They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end
+ is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
+
+25:004:019 Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven:
+ they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in
+ the wilderness.
+
+25:004:020 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was
+ taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we
+ shall live among the heathen.
+
+25:004:021 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the
+ land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou
+ shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
+
+25:004:022 The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter
+ of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he
+ will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will
+ discover thy sins.
+
+25:005:001 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold
+ our reproach.
+
+25:005:002 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
+
+25:005:003 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
+
+25:005:004 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
+
+25:005:005 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
+
+25:005:006 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians,
+ to be satisfied with bread.
+
+25:005:007 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their
+ iniquities.
+
+25:005:008 Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver
+ us out of their hand.
+
+25:005:009 We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the
+ sword of the wilderness.
+
+25:005:010 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible
+ famine.
+
+25:005:011 They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities
+ of Judah.
+
+25:005:012 Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were
+ not honoured.
+
+25:005:013 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under
+ the wood.
+
+25:005:014 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their
+ musick.
+
+25:005:015 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into
+ mourning.
+
+25:005:016 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have
+ sinned!
+
+25:005:017 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are
+ dim.
+
+25:005:018 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes
+ walk upon it.
+
+25:005:019 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation
+ to generation.
+
+25:005:020 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long
+ time?
+
+25:005:021 Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew
+ our days as of old.
+
+25:005:022 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against
+ us.
+
+
+

+
+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:
+https://gutenberg.org or
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

+you may distribute copies of this eBook if you want to.

+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other

+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
