2:1 How
hath
the
Lord
couered
the
daughter
of
Zion
with
a
cloud,
in
his
anger,
and
cast
downe
from
heauen
vnto
the
earth
the
beautie
of
Israel,
and
remembred
not
his
footstoole
in
the
day
of
his
anger
2:2 The
Lord
hath
swallowed
vp
all
the
habitations
of
Iacob,
and
hath
not
pitied:
he
hath
throwen
downe
in
his
wrath
the
strong
holds
of
the
daughter
of
Iudah:
he
hath
brought
them
down
to
the
ground:
hee
hath
polluted
the
kingdome
and
the
princes
thereof.
2:3 He
hath
cut
off
in
his
fierce
anger
all
the
horne
of
Israel:
he
hath
drawen
backe
his
right
hand
from
before
the
enemy,
and
he
burned
against
Iacob
like
a
flaming
fire
which
deuoureth
round
about.
2:4 He
hath
bent
his
bow
like
an
enemy:
he
stood
with
his
right
hand
as
an
aduersary,
and
slew
all
that
were
pleasant
to
the
eye,
in
the
tabernacle
of
the
daughter
of
Zion:
he
powred
out
his
furie
like
fire.
2:5 The
Lord
was
an
enemie:
he
hath
swallowed
vp
Israel,
hee
hath
swallowed
vp
all
her
palaces:
he
hath
destroyed
his
strong
holds,
and
hath
increased
in
the
daughter
of
Iudah
mourning
and
lamentation.
2:6 And
he
hath
violently
taken
away
his
tabernacle,
as
if
it
were
of
a
garden,
hee
hath
destroyed
his
places
of
the
assembly:
the
Lord
hath
caused
the
solemne
feasts
and
Sabbaths
to
be
forgotten
in
Zion,
and
hath
despised
in
the
indignation
of
his
anger
the
King
and
the
Priest.
2:7 The
Lord
hath
cast
off
his
Altar:
hee
hath
abhorred
his
Sanctuarie:
he
hath
giuen
vp
into
the
hand
of
the
enemie
the
walles
of
her
palaces:
they
haue
made
a
noise
in
the
house
of
the
Lord,
as
in
the
day
of
a
solemne
Feast.
2:8 The
Lord
hath
purposed
to
destroy
the
wall
of
the
daughter
of
Zion:
he
hath
stretched
out
a
line:
he
hath
not
withdrawen
his
hand
from
destroying:
therefore
hee
made
the
rampart
and
the
wall
to
lament:
they
languished
together.
2:9 Her
gates
are
sunke
into
the
ground:
he
hath
destroyed
and
broken
her
barres:
her
King
and
her
Princes
are
among
the
Gentiles:
the
Law
is
no
more,
her
prophets
also
finde
no
vision
from
the
Lord.
2:10 The
Elders
of
the
daughter
of
Zion
sit
vpon
the
ground
and
keepe
silence:
they
haue
cast
vp
dust
vpon
their
heads:
they
haue
girded
themselues
with
sackcloth:
the
virgins
of
Ierusalem
hang
downe
their
heades
to
the
ground.
2:11 Mine
eyes
doe
faile
with
teares:
my
bowels
are
troubled:
my
liuer
is
powred
vpon
the
earth,
for
the
destruction
of
the
daughter
of
my
people,
because
the
children
and
the
sucklings
swoone
in
the
streets
of
the
citie.
2:12 They
say
to
their
mothers,
Where
is
corne
and
wine
when
they
swooned
as
the
wounded
in
the
streets
of
the
citie,
when
their
soule
was
powred
out
into
their
mothers
bosome.
2:13 What
thing
shall
I
take
to
witnesse
for
thee
what
thing
shall
I
liken
to
thee,
O
daughter
of
Ierusalem
what
shall
I
equal
to
thee,
that
I
may
comfort
thee,
O
Uirgin
daughter
of
Zion
for
thy
breach
is
great
like
the
sea:
who
can
heale
thee
2:14 Thy
Prophets
haue
seene
vaine
and
foolish
things
for
thee,
and
they
haue
not
discouered
thine
iniquitie,
to
turne
away
thy
captiuitie:
but
haue
seene
for
thee
false
burdens,
and
causes
of
banishment.
2:15 All
that
passe
by,
clap
their
hands
at
thee:
they
hisse
and
wagge
their
head
at
the
daughter
of
Ierusalem,
saying,
Is
this
the
citie
that
men
call
the
perfection
of
beauty,
the
ioy
of
the
whole
earth
2:16 All
thine
enemies
haue
opened
their
mouth
against
thee:
they
hisse
and
gnash
the
teeth:
they
say,
We
haue
swallowed
her
vp:
certainly
this
is
the
day
that
we
looked
for:
we
haue
found,
we
haue
seene
it.
2:17 The
Lord
hath
done
that
which
he
had
deuised:
he
hath
fulfilled
his
word
that
he
had
commanded
in
the
dayes
of
old:
hee
hath
throwen
downe
and
hath
not
pitied:
and
he
hath
caused
thine
enemie
to
reioyce
ouer
thee,
hee
hath
set
vp
the
horne
of
thine
aduersaries.
2:18 Their
heart
cried
vnto
the
Lord,
O
wall
of
the
daughter
of
Zion,
let
teares
runne
downe
like
a
riuer,
day
and
night:
giue
thy
selfe
no
rest,
let
not
the
apple
of
thine
eyes
cease.
2:19 Arise,
cry
out
in
the
night:
in
the
beginning
of
the
watches
powre
out
thine
heart
like
water
before
the
face
of
the
Lord:
lift
vp
thy
handes
toward
him,
for
the
life
of
thy
yong
children,
that
faint
for
hunger
in
the
top
of
euery
streete.
2:20 Behold,
O
Lord,
and
consider
to
whom
thou
hast
done
this:
shal
the
women
eat
their
fruit,
and
children
of
a
spanne
long
shall
the
priest
and
the
prophet
be
slaine
in
the
Sanctuary
of
the
Lord
2:21 The
yong
and
the
old
lye
on
the
ground
in
the
streets:
my
virgins
and
my
yong
men
are
fallen
by
the
sword:
thou
hast
slaine
them
in
the
day
of
thy
anger:
thou
hast
killed,
and
not
pitied.
2:22 Thou
hast
called
as
in
a
solemne
day
my
terrours
round
about,
so
that
in
the
day
of
the
Lords
anger,
none
escaped
nor
remained:
those
that
I
haue
swadled
and
brought
vp,
hath
mine
enemy
consumed.
