-- 1{1} How doth
the city sit solitary, that was full of people how is she become as a widow she
that was was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is
she become tributary {2} She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears
are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her
friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies. {3}
Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude:
she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook
her between the straits. {4} The ways of Zion do mourn, because none
come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins
are afflicted, and she is in bitterness. {5} Her adversaries are the
chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude
of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
{6} And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes
are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength
before the pursuer. {7} Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction
and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when
her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries
saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths. {8} Jerusalem hath grievously
sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they
have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward. {9}
Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she
came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction: for
the enemy hath magnified himself. {10} The adversary hath spread out
his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered
into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy
congregation. {11} All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have
given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider;
for I am become vile. {12} Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?
behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto
me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. {13}
From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he
hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate
and faint all the day. {14} The yoke of my transgressions is bound
by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength
to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able
to rise up. {15} The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men
in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men:
the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.
{16} For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water,
because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children
are desolate, because the enemy prevailed. {17} Zion spreadeth forth
her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning
Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous
woman among them. {18} The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against
his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins
and my young men are gone into captivity. {19} I called for my lovers,
but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city,
while they sought their meat to relieve their souls. {20} Behold, O
LORD; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within
me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there
is as death. {21} They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort
me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done
it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto
me. {22} Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them,
as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and
my heart is faint. Lamentations
-- 2{1} How hath
the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down
from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool
in the day of his anger! {2} The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations
of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds
of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted
the kingdom and the princes thereof. {3} He hath cut off in his fierce
anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the
enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round
about. {4} He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right
hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle
of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire. {5} The
Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her
palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter
of Judah mourning and lamentation. {6} And he hath violently taken
away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of
the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten
in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
{7} The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he
hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made
a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast. {8}
The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched
out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made
the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together. {9} 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; her prophets also
find no vision from the LORD. {10} The elders of the daughter of Zion
sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads;
they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down
their heads to the ground. {11} Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels
are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter
of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the
city. {12} They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when
they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured
out into their mothers' bosom. {13} What thing shall I take to witness
for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall
I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach
is great like the sea: who can heal thee? {14} Thy prophets have seen
vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity,
to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of
banishment. {15} All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss
and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that
men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? {16}
All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the
teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked
for; we have found, we have seen it. {17} The LORD hath done that which
he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of
old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy
to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries. {18}
Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run
down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine
eye cease. {19} Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the
watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy
hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in
the top of every street. {20} Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom
thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long?
shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? {21}
The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young
men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou
hast killed, and not pitied. {22} Thou hast called as in a solemn day
my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor
remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
Hebrews -- 6{1}
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto
perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and
of faith toward God, {2} Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying
on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. {3}
And this will we do, if God permit. {4} For it is impossible for those
who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made
partakers of the Holy Ghost, {5} And have tasted the good word of God,
and the powers of the world to come, {6} If they shall fall away, to
renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of
God afresh, and put him to an open shame. {7} For the earth which drinketh
in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by
whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: {8} But that which
beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is
to be burned. {9} But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you,
and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. {10} For
God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed
toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
{11} And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to
the full assurance of hope unto the end: {12} That ye be not slothful,
but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
{13} For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no
greater, he sware by himself, {14} Saying, Surely blessing I will bless
thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. {15} And so, after he had
patiently endured, he obtained the promise. {16} For men verily swear
by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
{17} Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise
the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: {18} That
by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have
a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before
us: {19} Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and
stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; {20} Whither
the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after
the order of Melchisedec. |  |
