The Sorrows of Zion
1How asolitary and lonely sits the city JerusalemThat was once bfull of people!How like a cwidow she has become.She who was dgreat among the nations!The princess among the provinces,Has become a eforced laborer!2 She aweeps bitterly in the nightAnd her tears are constantly on her cheeks;Among all her blovers (political allies)She has no one to comfort her.All her friends have cdealt treacherously with her;They have become her enemies. Jer 3:1; 4:303 aJudah has gone into exile under afflictionAnd under harsh servitude;She dwells bamong the pagan nations,But she has found no rest;All cher pursuers have overtaken herIn the midst of her distress.4 The roads to Zion are in mourningBecause ano one comes to the appointed feasts.All her gates are bdesolate;Her priests are groaning,Her cvirgins are grieved and suffering,And she suffers dbitterly.5 Her adversaries have become her masters,Her enemies prosper;For the LORD has acaused her griefBecause of the multitude of her transgressions;Her young children have goneInto captivity before the enemy. Jer 30:14, 15; 52:28; Dan 9:7-146 All her abeauty and majestyHave departed from the Daughter of Zion (Jerusalem) .Her princes have become like deerThat have found no pasture;They have bfled without strengthBefore the pursuer.7 In the days of her affliction and homelessnessaJerusalem remembers all her precious thingsThat she had from the days of old,When her people fell into the hand of the adversary,And bno one helped her,The enemy saw her,They cmocked at her downfall.8 Jerusalem sinned agreatly;Therefore bshe has become an unclean thing and has been removed.All who honored her now despise herBecause they have seen her nakedness;Even cshe herself groans and turns her face away.9 Her (ceremonial) auncleanness was on her skirts;She did not seriously consider her bfuture.Therefore she has ccome down from throne to slavery in an astonishing manner;dShe has no comforter.“O LORDcries Jerusalem, “elook at my affliction,For the enemy has fmagnified himself in triumph!”10 The adversary has spread out his handOver all her precious and desirable things;For she has seen the Gentile anations enter her sanctuary (the Jerusalem temple)1The ones whom You commandedThat they should bnot enter into Your congregation not even in the outer courts. Deut 23:3; Jer 51:51; Ezek 44:7, 911 All her people groan, aseeking bread;They have exchanged their desirable and precious things for foodTo brestore their lives.“See, O LORD, and considerHow cdespised and repulsive I have become!”12 “Is ait nothing to you, all you who pass this way?Look and see if there is any pain like my painWhich was severely dealt out to me,Which the bLORD has inflicted on me on the day of His cfierce anger.13 “From on high He sent fire into my abones,And it prevailed over them.He has spread a bnet for my feet;He has turned me back.He has made me cdesolate and hopelessly miserable,Faint all the day long.14 “The ayoke of my transgressions is bound;By His hand they are knit and woven together.They have bcome upon my neck.He has made my strength fail;The Lord chas put me into the handOf those against whom I cannot stand. Deut 28:4815 “The aLord has rejected all the strong menIn my midst;He has proclaimed an established time against meTo crush my byoung men.The Lord has ctrampled down as in a wine pressThe Virgin Daughter of Judah.16 “I aweep for these things;My eyes overflow with tears,Because a bcomforter,One who could restore my soul, is far away from me.My children are desolate and perishing,For the enemy has prevailed.” Lam 1:2117 Zion astretches out her hands,But there is no comforter for her.The LORD has bcommanded concerning JacobThat his neighbors should be his enemies;cJerusalem has become a filthy thing an object of contempt among them.18 “The LORD is arighteous and just;For I have brebelled against His commandment (His word) .Hear now, all you peoples,And clook at my pain;dMy virgins and my young menHave gone into captivity.19 “I Jerusalem acalled to my lovers (political allies) , but they deceived me.My bpriests and my elders perished in the cityWhile they looked for food to crestore their strength.20 “See, O LORD, how distressed I am!My aspirit is deeply disturbed;My heart is overturned within me and cannot rest,For I have been very brebellious.In the street the sword kills and bereaves;In the house there is famine, disease and death!21 “People have heard that I agroan,That I have no comforter in You.All my enemies have heard of my desperation;They are bdelighted O LORD that You have done it.Oh, that You would bring the day of judgment which You have proclaimedSo that they will become clike me. Is 14:5, 6; Jer 30:1622 “Let all their wickedness come before You;And adeal with them as You have dealt with meBecause of all my transgressions;For my groans are many and my heart is faint.”
