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. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, DOUAY-RHEIMS, BOOK 29 *** + +*********** This file should be named 8329.txt or 8329.zip *********** + +Produced by David Widger + +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.
