+
+THE LAMENTATIONS OF JEREMIAS
+
+In these JEREMIAS laments in a most pathetical manner the miseries of
+his people, and the destruction of JERUSALEM and the temple, in Hebrew
+verses, beginning with different letters according to the order of the
+Hebrew alphabet.
+
+
+Lamentations Chapter 1
+
+PREFACE: And it came to pass, after Israel was carried into captivity,
+and Jerusalem was desolate, that Jeremias the prophet sat weeping, and
+mourned with this lamentation over Jerusalem, and with a sorrowful mind,
+sighing and moaning, he said:
+
+And it came to pass, etc... This preface was not written by Jeremias,
+but was added by the seventy interpreters, to give the reader to
+understand upon what occasion the Lamentations were published.
+
+1:1. Aleph. How doth the city sit solitary that was full of people! how
+is the mistress of the Gentiles become as a widow: the princes of
+provinces made tributary!
+
+1:2. Beth. Weeping, she hath wept in the night, and her tears are on her
+cheeks: there is none to comfort her among all them that were dear to
+her: all her friends have despised her, and are become her enemies.
+
+1:3. Ghimel. Juda hath removed her dwelling place, because of her
+affliction, and the greatness of her bondage; she hath dwelt among the
+nations, and she hath found no rest; all her persecutors have taken her
+in the midst of straits.
+
+1:4. Daleth. The ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to
+the solemn feast: all her gates are broken down; her priests sigh; her
+virgins are in affliction; and she is oppressed with bitterness.  1:5.
+He. Her adversaries are become her lords; her enemies are enriched;
+because the Lord hath spoken against her for the multitude of her
+iniquities; her children are led into captivity, before the face of the
+oppressor.
+
+1:6. Vau. And from the daughter of Sion, all her beauty is departed; her
+princes are become like rams that find no pastures; and they are gone
+away without strength before the face of the pursuer.
+
+1:7. Zain. Jerusalem hath remembered the days of her affliction, and
+prevarication of all her desirable things which she had from the days of
+old, when her people fell in the enemy's hand, and there was no helper;
+the enemies have seen her, and have mocked at her sabbaths.
+
+1:8. Heth. Jerusalem hath grievously sinned, therefore is she become
+unstable; all that honoured her, have despised her, because they have
+seen her shame; but she sighed, and turned backward.
+
+1:9. Teth. Her filthiness is on her feet, and she hath not remembered
+her end; she is wonderfully cast down, not having a comforter: behold, O
+Lord, my affliction, because the enemy is lifted up.
+
+1:10. Jod. The enemy hath put out his hand to all her desirable things:
+for she hath seen the Gentiles enter into her sanctuary, of whom thou
+gavest commandment that they should not enter into thy church.
+
+1:11. Caph. All her people sigh, they seek bread: they have given all
+their precious things for food to relieve the soul: see, 0 Lord, and
+consider, for I am become vile. 1:12. Lamed. O all ye that pass by the
+way, attend, and see if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow: for he
+hath made a vintage of me, as the Lord spoke in the day of his fierce
+anger.
+
+1:13. Mem. From above he hath sent fire into my bones, and hath
+chastised me: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back:
+he hath made me desolate, wasted with sorrow all the day long.
+
+1:14. Nun. The yoke of my iniquities hath watched: they are folded
+together in his hand, and put upon my neck: my strength is weakened: the
+Lord hath delivered me into a hand, out of which I am not able to rise.
+1:15. Samech. The Lord hath taken away all my mighty men out of the
+midst of me: he hath called against me the time, to destroy my chosen
+men: the Lord hath trodden the winepress for the virgin daughter of
+Juda.
+
+1:16. Ain. Therefore do I weep, and my eyes run down with water: because
+the comforter, the relief of my soul, is far from me: my children are
+desolate because the enemy hath prevailed.
+
+1:17. Phe. Sion hath spread forth her hands, there is none to comfort
+her: the Lord hath commanded against Jacob, his enemies are round about
+him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
+
+1:18. Sade. The Lord is just, for I have provoked his mouth to wrath:
+hear, I pray you, all ye people, and see my sorrow: my virgins, and my
+young men are gone into captivity.
+
+1:19. Coph. I called for my friends, but they deceived me: my priests
+and my ancients pined away in the city: while they sought their food, to
+relieve their souls.
+
+1:20. Res. Behold, 0 Lord, for I am in distress, my bowels are troubled:
+my heart is turned within me, for I am full of bitterness: abroad the
+sword destroyeth and at home there is death alike.
+
+1:21. Sin. They have heard that I sigh, and there is none to comfort me:
+all my enemies have heard of my evil, they have rejoiced that thou hast
+done it: thou hast brought a day of consolation, and they shall be like
+unto me.
+
+1:22. Thau. Let all their evil be present before thee: and make vintage
+of them, as thou hast made vintage of me for all my iniquities: for my
+sighs are many, and my heart is sorrowful.
+
+Lamentations Chapter 2
+
+2:1. Aleph. How hath the Lord covered with obscurity the daughter of
+Sion in his wrath! how hath he cast down from heaven to the earth the
+glorious one of Israel, and hath not remembered his footstool in the day
+of his anger.
+
+2:2. Beth. The Lord hath cast down headlong, and hath not spared, all
+that was beautiful in Jacob: he hath destroyed in his wrath the strong
+holds of the virgin of Juda, and brought them down to the ground: he
+hath made the kingdom unclean, and the princes thereof.
+
+2:3. Ghimel. He hath broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel:
+he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: and he hath
+kindled in Jacob as it were a flaming fire devouring round about.
+
+2:4. Daleth. He hath bent his bow as an enemy, he hath fixed his right
+hand as an adversary: and he hath killed all that was fair to behold in
+the tabernacle of the daughter of Sion, he hath poured out his
+indignation like fire.
+
+2:5. He. The Lord is become as an enemy: he hath cast down Israel
+headlong, he hath overthrown all the walls thereof: he hath destroyed
+his strong holds, and hath multiplied in the danghter of Juda the
+afflicted, both men and women.
+
+2:6. Vau. And he hath destroyed his tent as a garden, he hath thrown
+down his tabernacle: the Lord hath caused feasts and sabbaths to be
+forgotten in Sion: and hath delivered up king and priest to reproach,
+and to the indignation of his wrath.
+
+2:7. Zain. The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath cursed his
+sanctuary: he hath delivered the walls of the towers thereof into the
+hand of the enemy: they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as
+in the day of a solemn feast.
+
+He hath cursed his sanctuary... That is, he permitted his sanctuary to
+be destroyed, as if it had not been consecrated, but execrable.
+
+2:8. Heth. The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of
+Sion: he hath stretched out his line, and hath not withdrawn his hand
+from destroying: and the bulwark hath mourned, and the wall hath been
+destroyed together.
+
+2:9. Teth. 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, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord.
+
+2:10. Jod. The ancients of the daughter of Sion sit upon the ground,
+they have held their peace: they have sprinkled their heads with dust,
+they are girdcd with haircloth, the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their
+heads to the ground.
+
+2:11. Caph. My eyes have failed with weeping, my bowels are troubled: my
+liver is poured out upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter
+of my people, when the children, and the sucklings, fainted away in the
+streets of the city.
+
+2:12. Lamed. They said to their mothers: Where is corn and wine? when
+they fainted away as the wounded in the streets of the city: when they
+breathed out their souls in the bosoms of their mothers.
+
+2:13. Mem. To what shall I compare thee? or to what shall I liken thee,
+O daughter of Jerusalem? to what shall I equal thee, that I may comfort
+thee, O virgin daughter of Sion? for great as the sea is thy
+destruction: who shall heal thee?
+
+2:14. Nun. Thy prophets have seen false and foolish things for thee: and
+they have not laid open thy iniquity, to excite thee to penance: but
+they have seen for thee false revelations and banishments.
+
+2:15. Samech. All they that passed by the way have clapped their hands
+at thee: they have hissed, and wagged their heads at the daughter of
+Jerusalem, saying: Is this the city of perfect beauty, the joy of all
+the earth?
+
+2:16. Phe. All thy enemies have opened their month against thee: they
+have hissed, and gnashed with the teeth, and have said: We will swallow
+her up: lo, this is the day which we looked for: we have found it, we
+have seen it.
+
+2:17. Ain. The Lord hath done that which he purposed, he hath fulfilled
+his word, which he commanded in the days of old: he hath destroyed, and
+hath not spared, and he hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, and
+hath set up the horn of thy adversaries.
+
+2:18. Sade. Their heart cried to the Lord upon the walls of the daughter
+of Sion: Let tears run down like a torrent day and night: give thyself
+no rest, and let not the apple of thy eye cease.
+
+2:19. Coph. Arise, give praise in the night, in the beginning of the
+watches: pour out thy heart like water, before the face of the Lord:
+lift up thy hands to him for the life of thy little children, that have
+fainted for hunger at the top of all the streets.
+
+2:20. Res. Behold, O Lord, and consider whom thou hast thus dealt with:
+shall women then eat their own fruit, their children of a span long?
+shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
+
+2:21. Sin. The child and the old man lie without on the ground: my
+virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain them
+in the day of thy wrath: thou hast killed, and shewn them no pity.
+
+2:22. Thau. Thou hast called as to a festival, those that should terrify
+me round about, and there was none in the day of the wrath of the Lord
+that escaped and was left: those that I brought up, and nourished, my
+enemy hath consumed them.
+
+Lamentations Chapter 3
+
+3:1. Aleph. I am the man that see my poverty by the rod of his
+indignation.
+
+3:2. Aleph. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, and not into
+light.  3:3. Aleph. Only against me he hath turned, and turned again his
+hand all the day.
+
+3:4. Beth. My skin and my flesh he hath made old, he hath broken my
+bones.
+
+3:5. Beth. He hath built round about me, and he hath compassed me with
+gall, and labour.
+
+3:6. Beth. He hath set me in dark places as those that are dead for
+ever.
+
+3:7. Ghimel. He hath built against me round about, that I may not get
+out: he hath made my fetters heavy.
+
+3:8. Ghimel. Yea, and when I cry, and entreat, he hath shut out my
+prayer.
+
+3:9. Ghimel. He hath shut up my ways with square stones, he hath turned
+my paths upside down.
+
+3:10. Daleth. He is become to me as a bear lying in wait: as a lion in
+secret places.
+
+3:11. Daleth. He hath turned aside my paths, and hath broken me in
+pieces, he hath made me desolate.
+
+3:12. Daleth. He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for his arrows.
+
+
+3:13. He. He hath shot into my reins the daughters of his quiver.
+
+3:14. He. I am made a derision to all my people, their song all the day
+long.
+
+3:15. He. He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath inebriated me with
+wormwood.
+
+3:16. Vau. And he hath broken my teeth one by one, he hath fed me with
+ashes.
+
+3:17. Vau. And my soul is removed far off from peace, I have forgotten
+good things.
+
+3:18. Vau. And I said: My end and my hope is perished from the Lord.
+
+3:19. Zain. Remember my poverty, and transgression, the wormwood and the
+gall.
+
+3:20. Zain. I will be mindful and remember, and my soul shall languish
+within me.
+
+3:21. Zain. These things I shall think over in my heart, therefore will
+I hope.
+
+3:22. Heth. The mercies of the Lord that we are not consumed: because
+his commiserations have not failed.
+
+3:23. Heth. They are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness.
+
+3:24. Heth. The Lord is my portion, said my soul: therefore will I wait
+for him.
+
+3:25. Teth. The Lord is good to them that hope in him, to the soul that
+seeketh him.
+
+3:26. Teth. It is good to wait with silence for the salvation of God.
+
+3:27. Teth. It is good for a man, when he hath borne the yoke from his
+youth.
+
+3:28. Jod. He shall sit solitary, and hold his peace: because he hath
+taken it up upon himself.
+
+3:29. Jod. He shall put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be
+hope.
+
+3:30. Jod. He shall give his cheek to him that striketh him, he shall be
+filled with reproaches.
+
+3:31. Caph. For the Lord will not cast off for ever.
+
+3:32. Caph. For if he hath cast off, he will also have mercy, according
+to the multitude of his mercies.
+
+3:33. Caph. For he hath not willingly afflicted, nor cast off the
+children of men.
+
+3:34. Lamed. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the land,
+
+3:35. Lamed. To turn aside the judgment of a man before the face of the
+most High,
+
+3:36. Lamed. To destroy a man wrongfully in his judgment, the Lord hath
+not approved.
+
+3:37. Mem. Who is he that hath commanded a thing to be done, when the
+Lord commandeth it not?
+
+3:38. Mem. Shall not both evil and good proceed out of the mouth of the
+Highest?
+
+3:39. Mem. Why hath a living man murmured, man suffering for his sins?
+
+3:40. Nun. Let us search our ways, and seek, and return to the Lord.
+
+3:41. Nun. Let us lift up our hearts with our hands to the Lord in the
+heavens.
+
+3:42. Nun. We have done wickedly, and provoked thee to wrath: therefore
+thou art inexorable.
+
+3:43. Samech. Thou hast covered in thy wrath, and hast struck us: thou
+hast killed and hast not spared.
+
+3:44. Samech. Thou hast set a cloud before thee, that our prayer may not
+pass through.
+
+3:45. Samech. Thou hast made me as an outcast, and refuse in the midst
+of the people.
+
+3:46. Phe. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
+
+3:47. Phe. Prophecy is become to us a fear, and a snare, and
+destruction.
+
+3:48. Phe. My eye hath run down with streams of water, for the
+destruction of the daughter of my people.
+
+3:49. Ain. My eye is afflicted, and hath not been quiet, because there
+was no rest:
+
+3:50. Ain. Till the Lord regarded and looked down from the heavens.
+
+3:51. Ain. My eye hath wasted my soul because of all the daughters of my
+city.
+
+3:52. Sade. My enemies have chased me and caught me like a bird, without
+cause.
+
+3:53. Sade. My life is fallen into the pit, and they have laid a stone
+over me.
+
+3:54. Sade. Waters have flowed over my head: I said: I am cut off.
+
+3:55. Coph. I have called upon thy name, O Lord, from the lowest pit.
+
+3:56. Coph. Thou hast heard my voice: turn not away thy ear from my
+sighs, and cries.
+
+3:57. Coph. Thou drewest near in the day, when I called upon thee, thou
+saidst: Fear not.
+
+3:58. Res. Thou hast judged, O Lord, the cause of my soul, thou the
+Redeemer of my life.
+
+3:59. Res. Thou hast seen, O Lord, their iniquity against me: judge thou
+my judgment.
+
+3:60. Res. Thou hast seen all their fury, and all their thoughts against
+me.
+
+3:61. Sin. Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, all their
+imaginations against me.
+
+3:62. Sin. The lips of them that rise up against me: and their devices
+against me all the day.
+
+3:63. Sin. Behold their sitting down, and their rising up, I am their
+song.
+
+3:64. Thau. Thou shalt render them a recompense, O Lord, according to
+the works of their hands.
+
+3:65. Thau. Thou shalt give them a buckler of heart, thy labour.
+
+3:66. Thau. Thou shalt persecute them in anger, and shalt destroy them
+from under the heavens, O Lord.
+
+Lamentations Chapter 4
+
+4:1. Aleph. How is the gold become dim, the finest colour is changed,
+the stones of the sanctuary are scattered in the top of every street?
+
+4:2. Beth. The noble sons of Sion, and they that were clothed with the
+best gold: how are they esteemed as earthen vessels, the work of the
+potter's hands?
+
+4:3. Ghimel. Even the sea monsters have drawn out the breast, they have
+given suck to their young: the daughter of my people is cruel, like the
+ostrich in the desert.
+
+4:4. Daleth. The tongue of the sucking child hath stuck to the roof of
+his mouth for thirst: the little ones have asked for bread, and there
+was none to break it unto them.
+
+4:5. He. They that were fed delicately have died in the streets: they
+that were brought up in scarlet have embraced the dung.
+
+4:6. Vau. And the iniquity of the daughter of my people is made greater
+than the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment, and hands took
+nothing in her.
+
+4:7. Zain. Her Nazarites were whiter than snow, purer than milk, more
+ruddy than the old ivory, fairer than the sapphire.
+
+4:8. Heth. Their face is now made blacker than coals, and they are not
+known in the streets: their skin hath stuck to their bones, it is
+withered, and is become like wood.
+
+4:9. Teth. It was better with them that were slain by the sword, than
+with them that died with hunger: for these pined away being consumed for
+want of the fruits of the earth.
+
+4:10. Jod. The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own
+children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my
+people.
+
+4:11. Caph. The Lord hath accomplished his wrath, he hath poured out his
+fierce anger: and he hath kindled a fire in Sion, and it hath devoured
+the foundations thereof.
+
+4:12. Lamed. The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the
+world would not have believed, that the adversary and the enemy should
+enter in by the gates of Jerusalem.
+
+4:13. Mem. 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.
+
+4:14. Nun. They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they were
+defiled with blood: and when they could not help walking in it, they
+held up their skirts.
+
+4:15. Samech. Depart you that are defiled, they cried out to them:
+Depart, get ye hence, touch not: for they quarrelled, and being removed,
+they said among the Gentiles: He will no more dwell among them.
+
+4:16. Phe. The face of the Lord hath divided them, he will no more
+regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, neither had
+they pity on the ancient.
+
+4:17. Ain. While we were yet standing, our eyes failed, expecting help
+for us in vain, when we looked attentively towards a nation that was not
+able to save.
+
+4:18. Sade. Our steps have slipped in the way of our streets, our end
+draweth near: our days are fulfilled, for our end is come.
+
+4:19. Coph. Our persecutors were swifter than the eagles of the air:
+they pursued us upon the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the
+wilderness.
+
+4:20. Res. The breath of our mouth, Christ the Lord, is taken in our
+sins: to whom we said: Under thy shadow we shall live among the
+Gentiles.
+
+Christ, etc... This, according to the letter, is spoken of their king,
+who is called the Christ, that is, the Anointed of the Lord. But it also
+relates, in the spiritual sense, to Christ our Lord, suffering for our
+sins.
+
+4:21. Sin. Rejoice, and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in
+the land of Hus: to thee also shall the cup come, thou shalt be made
+drunk, and naked.
+
+4:22. Thau. Thy iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Sion, he will no
+more carry thee away into captivity: he hath visited thy iniquity, O
+daughter of Edom, he hath discovered thy sins.
+
+THE PRAYER OF JEREMIAS THE PROPHET
+
+Lamentations Chapter 5
+
+5:1. Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider and behold our
+reproach.
+
+5:2. Our inheritance is turned to aliens: our houses to strangers.
+
+5:3. We are become orphans without a father: our mothers are as widows.
+
+5:4. We have drunk our water for money: we have bought our wood.
+
+5:6. We were dragged by the necks, we were weary and no rest was given
+us.
+
+5:6. We have given our hand to Egypt, and to the Assyrians, that we
+might be satisfied with bread.
+
+5:7. Our fathers have sinned, and are not: and we have borne their
+iniquities.
+
+5:8. Servants have ruled over us: there was none to redeem us out of
+their hand.
+
+5:9. We fetched our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the
+sword in the desert.
+
+5:10. Our skin was burnt as an oven, by reason of the violence of the
+famine.
+
+5:11. They oppressed the women in Sion, and the virgins in the cities of
+Juda.
+
+5:12. The princes were hanged up by their hand: they did not respect the
+persons of the ancients.
+
+5:13. They abused the young men indecently: and the children fell under
+the wood.
+
+5:14. The ancients have ceased from the gates: the young men from the
+choir of the singers.
+
+5:15. The joy of our heart is ceased, our dancing is turned into
+mourning.
+
+5:16. The crown is fallen from our head: woe to us, because we have
+sinned.
+
+5:17. Therefore is our heart sorrowful, therefore are our eyes become
+dim.
+
+5:18. For mount Sion, because it is destroyed, foxes have walked upon
+it.
+
+5:19. But thou, O Lord, shalt remain for ever, thy throne from
+generation to generation.
+
+5:20. Why wilt thou forget us for ever? why wilt thou forsake us for a
+long time?
+
+5:21. Convert us, O Lord, to thee, and we shall be converted: renew our
+days, as from the beginning.
+
+5:22. But thou hast utterly rejected us, thou art exceedingly angry with
+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.
+

+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM EBOOKS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+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
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other eBook medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
+But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
+[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may
+receive this eBook from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook) disclaims

+
+If you discover a Defect in this eBook within 90 days of
+receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
+you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
+time to the person you received it from. If you received it
+on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
+
+THIS EBOOK IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS". NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
