LAMENTATIONS
5.10
- That the adversary and the enemy would enter
- Into the gates of Jerusalem.
- מ13It is because of the sins of her prophets,
- And the iniquities of her priests,
- That have shed the blood of the just
- In the midst of her.
- נ14They wander as blind men in the streets,
- They are polluted with blood,
- So that men cannot
- Touch their garments.
- ס15'Depart ye! unclean!' men cried unto them,
- 'Depart, depart, touch not';
- Yea, they fled away and wandered;
- Men said among the nations:
- 'They shall no more sojourn here.'
- פ16The anger of the Lord hath divided them;
- He will no more regard them;
- They respected not the persons of the priests,
- They were not gracious unto the elders.
- ע17As for us, our eyes do yet fail
- For our vain help;
- In our watching we have watched
- For a nation that could not save.
- צ18They hunt our steps,
- That we cannot go in our broad places;
- Our end is near, our days are fulfilled;
- For our end is come.
- ק19Our pursuers were swifter
- Than the eagles of the heaven;
- They chased us upon the mountains,
- They lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
- ר20The 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 nations.'
- ש21Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom,
- That dwellest in the land of Uz:
- The cup shall pass over unto thee also;
- Thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
- ת22The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion,
- He will no more carry thee away into captivity;
- He will punish thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom,
- He will uncover thy sins.
- 5Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us;
- Behold, and see our reproach.
- 2Our inheritance is turned unto strangers,
- Our houses unto aliens.
- 3We are become orphans and fatherless,
- Our mothers are as widows.
- 4We have drunk our water for money:
- Our wood cometh to us for price.
- 5To our very necks we are pursued;
- We labour, and have no rest.
- 6We have given the hand to Egypt,
- And to Assyria, to have bread enough.
- 7Our fathers have sinned, and are not;
- And we have borne their iniquities.
- 8Servants rule over us;
- There is none to deliver us out of their hand.
- 9We get our bread with the peril of our lives
- Because of the sword of the wilderness.
- 10Our skin is hot like an oven
