when they swooned5848 as the wounded2491 in the streets7339 of the city5892, when their soul5315 was poured out8210 into their mothers'0517 bosom2436. 2:13 What thing shall I take to witness5749-5749 for thee? what thing4100 shall I liken1819 to thee, O daughter1323 of Jerusalem3389? what shall I equal7737 to thee, that I may comfort5162 thee, O virgin1330 daughter1323 of Zion6726? for thy breach7667 {is} great1419 like the sea3220: who can heal7495 thee? 2:14 Thy prophets5030 have seen2372 vain7723 and foolish things8602 for thee: and they have not discovered1540 thine iniquity5771, to turn away7725 thy captivity7622-7622; but have seen2372 for thee false7723 burdens4864 and causes of banishment4065. 2:15 All that pass5674 by clap5606 {their} hands3709 at thee1870; they hiss8319 and wag5128 their head7218 at the daughter1323 of Jerusalem3389, {saying, Is} this the city5892 that {men} call0559 The perfection3632 of beauty3308, The joy4885 of the whole earth0776? 2:16 All thine enemies0341 have opened6475 their mouth6310 against thee: they hiss8319 and gnash2786 the teeth8127: they say0559, We have swallowed {her} up1104: certainly0389 this {is} the day3117 that we looked for6960; we have found4672, we have seen7200 {it}. 2:17 The LORD3068 hath done6213 {that} which he had devised2161; he hath fulfilled1214 his word0565 that he had commanded6680 in the days3117 of old6924: he hath thrown down2040, and hath not pitied2550: and he hath caused {thine} enemy0341 to rejoice8055 over thee, he hath set up7311 the horn7161 of thine adversaries6862. 2:18 Their heart3820 cried6817 unto the Lord0136, O wall2346 of the daughter1323 of Zion6726, let tears1832 run down3381 like a river5158 day3119 and night3915: give5414 thyself no rest6314; let not the apple1323 of thine eye5869 cease1826. 2:19 Arise6965, cry out7442 in the night3915: in the beginning7218 of the watches0821 pour out8210 thine heart3820 like water4325 before5227 the face6440 of the Lord0136: lift up5375 thy hands3709 toward him for the life5315 of thy young children5768, that faint5848 for hunger7458 in the top7218 of every street2351. 2:20 Behold7200, O LORD3068, and consider5027 to whom thou hast done5953 this3541. Shall the women0802 eat0398 their fruit6529, {and} children5768 of a span long2949? shall the priest3548 and the prophet5030 be slain2026 in the sanctuary4720 of the Lord0136? 2:21 The young5288 and the old2205 lie7901 on the ground0776 in the streets2351: my virgins1330 and my young men0970 are fallen5307 by the sword2719; thou hast slain2026 {them} in the day3117 of thine anger0639; thou hast killed2873, {and} not pitied2550. 2:22 Thou hast called7121 as in a solemn4150 day3117 my terrors4032 round about5439, so that in the day3117 of the LORD'S3068 anger0639 none escaped6412 nor remained8300: those that I have swaddled2946 and brought up7235 hath mine enemy0341 consumed3615.
