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. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, KING JAMES, BOOK 25 *** + +********** This file should be named 8025.txt or 8025.zip ********** + +This eBook was produced by David Widger +See above the credits to previous producers of this text. + +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.

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. + +Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated): + +eBooks Year Month + + 1 1971 July + 10 1991 January + 100 1994 January + 1000 1997 August + 1500 1998 October + 2000 1999 December + 2500 2000 December + 3000 2001 November + 4000 2001 October/November + 6000 2002 December* + 9000 2003 November* +10000 2004 January* + + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created +to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium. + +We need your donations more than ever! + +As of February, 2002, contributions are being solicited from people +and organizations in: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, +Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, +Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, +Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New +Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, +Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South +Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West +Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. + +We have filed in all 50 states now, but these are the only ones +that have responded. + +As the requirements for other states are met, additions to this list +will be made and fund raising will begin in the additional states. +Please feel free to ask to check the status of your state. + +In answer to various questions we have received on this: + +We are constantly working on finishing the paperwork to legally +request donations in all 50 states.
