Πῶς ἐγνόφωσεν ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ Κύριος τὴν θυγατέρα Σειών·

¹²

κατερριψεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ εἰς γῆν δόξασμα Ἰσραήλ,

καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθη ὑποποδίου ποδῶν αὐτοῦ.

Βήθ.

Ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ ¹κατεπόντισεν Κύριος, οὐ φεισάμενος·

πάντα τὰ ὡραῖα Ἰακὼβ καθεῖλεν ἐν θυμῷ αὐτοῦ,

τὰ ὀχυρώματα τῆς θυγατρὸς Ἰούδα ἐκόλλησεν εἰς τὴν γῆν,

ἐβεβήλωσεν βασιλέας αὐτῆς καὶ ἄρχοντας αὐτῆς.

Γίμελ

Συνεκάλεσεν ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ πᾶν κέρας Ἰσραήλ,

ἀπέστρεψεν ὀπίσω δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ προσώπου ἐχθροῦ,

καὶ ἀνῆψεν ἐν Ἰακὼβ ὡς πῦρ φλόγα, καὶ κατέφαγεν πάντα

τὰ κύκλῳ.

Δάλεθ.

Ἐνέτεινεν τόξον αὐτοῦ ὡς ἐχθρὸς ὑπεναντίος,

ἐστερέωσεν δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ ὁὡς ὑπεναντίος,

καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν πάντα τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα ὀφθαλμῶν μου ἐν σκηνῇ

θυγατρὸς Σειών,

ἐξέχεεν ὡς πῦρ τὸν θυμὸν αὐτοῦ.

ʼἘγενήθη Κύριος ὡς ἐχθρός, κατεπόντισεν Ἰσραήλ·

κατεπόντισεν τὰς βάρεις αὐτῆς, διέφθειρεν τὰ ὀχυράματα

αὐτοῦ

καὶ ἐπλήθυνεν τῇ θυγατρὶ Ἰούδα ταπεινουμένην καὶ

⁴

τεταπειναομένην.

Οὐαό.

Καὶ διεπέτασεν ὡς ἄμπελον τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ, διέφθειρεν

ἑορτὴν αὐτοῦ·

⁵⁷

ἐπελάθετο Κύριος ἃ ἐποίησεν ἐν Σειὼν ἑορτῆς καὶ σαββάτου,

καὶ παρώξυνεν ἐνβριμήματι ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ βασιλέα καὶ ἱερέα

καὶ ἄρχοντα.

Ζάιν.

Ἀπώσατο Κύριος θυσιαστήριον αὐτοῦ, ἀπετίναξεν ἁγίασμα

αὐτοῦ,

συνέτριψεν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τεῖχος βάρεων αὐτῆς·

φωνὴν ἔδωκαν ἐν οἴκῳ ὡς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἑορτῆς.

‟Ηθ.

Καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν διαφθεῖραι τεῖχος θυγατρὸς Σειών·

ἐξέτεινεν μέτρον, οὐκ ἐπέστρεψεν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ κατα-

πατήματος,

καὶ ἐπένθησεν τὸ προτείχισμα, καὶ τεῖχος ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἡσθέ-

νησεν.

Tήθ.

Ἐνεπάγησαν εἰς γῆν πύλαι αὐτῆς· ἀπώλεσεν καὶ συνέτριψεν

μοχλοὺς αὐτῆς,

βασιλέα αὐτῆς καὶ ἄρχοντας αὐτῆς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν·

οὐκ ἔστιν νόμος, καί γε προφῆτι αὐτῆς οὐκ εἶδον ὄρασιν

παρὰ Κυρίου.

Ἰώδ.

Ἐκάθισαν εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἐσιώπησαν πρεσβύτεροι θυγατρὸς Σειών,

ἀνεβίβδασαν χοῦν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν, περιεζώσαντο

σάκκους,

κατήγαγον εἰς γῆν ἀρχηγοὺς παρθένους ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.

Χάφ.

Ἐξέλειπον ἐν δάκρυσιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου, ἐταράχθη ἡ καρδία

⁸⁹

ἐξεχύθη εἰς τὴν γῆν ἡ δόξα μου, ἐπὶ τὸ σύντριμμα τῆς θυγατρὸς

¹⁰

λαοῦ μου,

ἐν τῷ ἐκλιπεῖν νήπιον καὶ θηλάζοντα ἐν πλατείαις πόλεως.

Λάβδ.

Ταῖς μητράσιν αὐτῶν εἶπαν Ιοῦ σῖτος καὶ οἶνος;

ἐν τῷ ἐκλύεσθαι αὐτοὺς ὡς τραυματίας ἐν πλατείαις πόλεως,

ἐν τῷ ἐκχεῖσθαι ψυχὰς αὐτῶν εἰς κόλπον μητέρων αὐτῶν.

Μήμ.

Γί μαρτυρήσω σοι ἡ τί ὁμοιώσω σοι, θύγατερ Ἰερουσαλήμ;

τίς σώσει καὶ παρακαλέσει σε, παρθένος θύγατερ Σειών;

ὅτι ἐμεγαλύνθη ποτήριον συντριβῆς σου· τίς ἰάσεταί σε;

Nοόν.

ΓΙροφῆταί σου εἰδοσάν σοι μάταια καὶ ἀφροσύνην,

καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκάλυψαν ἐπὶ τὴν ἀδικίαν σου τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι

αἰχμαλωσίαν σου,

καὶ εἶδοσάν σοι λήμματα μάταια καὶ ἐξώσματα.

Σάμχ

Ἐκρότησαν ἐπὶ σέ χεῖρας πάντες οἱ παραπορευόμενοι ὁδόν,

ἐσύρισαν καὶ ἐκίνησαν τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὴν θυγατέρα

Ἰερουσαλήμ·

αὕτη ἡ πόλις, ἐροῦσιν, στέφανος εὐφροσύνης πάσης τῆς γῆς.

Ἄιν.

Διήνοιξαν ἐπὶ σέ στόμα αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί σου,

ἐσύρισαν καὶ ἔβρυξαν ὀδόντας, καὶ εἶπαν Κατεπίομεν αὐτήν·

πλὴν αὕτη ἡ ἡμέρα ἣν προσεδοκῶμεν, είρομεν αὐτήν, ἴδομεν.

¹¹¹³

Φή.

Ἐποίησεν Κύριος ἃ ἐνεθυμήθη,

συνετέλεσεν ὀήματα αὐτοῦ, ἃ ἐνετείλατο ἐξ ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων·

καθεῖλεν καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσατο,

καὶ ηὔφρανεν ἐπὶ σέ ἐχθρόν, ὕψωσεν κέρας θλίλκδοντός σε.

Τιαδή.

Ἐβόησεν καρδία αὐτῶν πρὸς Κύριον

Γείχη Σειών, καταγάγετε ὡς χειμάρρους δάκρυα ἡμέρας καὶ

υυκτός·

μὴ δῷς ἔκνηψιν σεαυτῇ, μὴ σιωπήσαιτο, θυγάτηρ, ὁ ὀφθαλ-

μός σου.

Κώφ.

Ἀνάστα ἀγαλλίασαι ἐν νυκτὶ εἰς ἀρχὰς φυλακῆς σου,

ἕκχεον ὡς ὕδωρ καρδίαν σου ἀπέναντι προσώπου Κυρίου,

ἄρον πρὸς αὐτὸν χεῖράς σου περὶ ψυχῆς νηπίων τῶν ἐκλυο-

μένων λιμῷ ἐπʼ ἀρχῆς πασῶν ἐξόδων.

'Ρήχς.

Ἴδε, Κύριε, καὶ ἐπίcβλεψον τίνι ἐπεφύλλισας οὕτως

εἰ φάγονται γυναίκες καρπὸν κοιλίας αὐτῶν

ἐπιφυλλίδα ἐποίησεν μάγειρος· φονευθήσονται νήπιι θηλά-

ζοντα μαστούς;

¹⁴

ἀποκτενεῖς ἐν ἁγιάσματι Κυρίου ἱερέα καὶ προφήτην; ¶

Κσέν.

Ἐκοιμήθησαν εἰς τὴν ἔξοδον παιδάριον καὶ πρεσβύτης·

παρθένοι μου καὶ νεανίσκοι μου ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αίχμα-

λωσία·

ἐν όομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ ἀπέκτεινας, ἐν ἡμἐρᾳ ὀργῆς σου

ἐμαγείρευσας, οὐκ ἐφείσω.

¹⁵¹⁶¹⁷

Φαύ.

Ἐκάλεσεν ἡμέραν ἑορτῆς παροικίας μου κυκλόθεν,

καὶ οὐκ ἐγένοντο ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἀργῆς Κυρίου ἀνασωζόμενος καὶ

καταλελειμμένος,

ὁὡς ἐπεκράτησα καὶ ἐπλήθυνα ἐχθρούς μου πάντας.

Lamentations Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 2 focus

How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast down from heaven to the earth the beauty of Israel, And hasn't remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.

The Lord has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied: He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He has brought them down to the ground; he has profaned the kingdom and the princes of it.

He has cut off in fierce anger all the horn of Israel; He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: He has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours round about.

He has bent his bow like an enemy, he has stood with his right hand as an adversary, Has killed all that were pleasant to the eye: In the tent of the daughter of Zion he has poured out his wrath like fire.

The Lord is become as an enemy, he has swallowed up Israel; He has swallowed up all her palaces, he has destroyed his strongholds; He has multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.

He has violently taken away his tent, as if it were of a garden; he has destroyed his place of assembly: Yahweh has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, Has despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

The Lord has cast off his altar, he has abhorred his sanctuary; He has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces: They have made a noise in the house of Yahweh, as in the day of a solemn assembly.

Yahweh has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; He has stretched out the line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying; He has made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together.

Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars: Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not; Yes, her prophets find no vision from Yahweh.

The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground, they keep silence; They have cast up dust on their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

My eyes do fail with tears, my heart is troubled; My liver is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, Because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.

They tell their mothers, Where is grain and wine? When they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, When their soul is poured out into their mothers' bosom.

What shall I testify to you? what shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your breach is great like the sea: who can heal you?

Your prophets have seen for you false and foolish visions; They have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captivity, But have seen for you false oracles and causes of banishment.

All that pass by clap their hands at you; They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, [saying], Is this the city that men called The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?

All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you; 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.

Yahweh has done that which he purposed; he has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old; He has thrown down, and has not pitied: He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you; he has exalted the horn of your adversaries.

Their heart cried to the Lord: wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; Give yourself no respite; don't let the apple of your eye cease.

Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.

Look, Yahweh, and see to whom you have done thus! Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?

The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; My virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: You have killed them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered, [and] not pitied.

You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side; There was none that escaped or remained in the day of Yahweh's anger: Those that I have dandled and brought up has my enemy consumed.
