2: The sonsH1121 of Zion,H6726 preciousH3368 ValuableH5537 as fine gold,H6337 how areH0349 they regardedH2803 as pots,H5035 clayH2789 the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of the potter!H3335

4: ClingsH1692 the tongueH3956 of the infantH3243 toH0413 the roof of its mouthH2441 for thirst-H6772 the young childrenH5768 ask forH7592 bread,H3899 [But] breaks [it]H6566 no oneH0369 for them.H1992
5: Those who ateH0398 delicaciesH4574 Are desolateH8074 in the streets-H2351 Those who were brought upH0539 inH5921 scarletH8438 EmbraceH2263 ash heaps.H0830
6: And is greaterH1431 the [punishment] of the iniquityH5771 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 than the [punishment] of the sinH2403 of Sodom,H5467 which was overthrownH2015 inH3644 a moment,H7281 and with noH3808 to helpH2342 hand.H3027
7: Were brighterH2141 Her NaziritesH5139 than snow,H7950 and whiterH6705 than milk,H2461 they were more ruddyH0119 in bodyH6106 than rubies,H6443 [Like] sapphire-H5601 in their appearance.H1508
8: [Now] is blackerH2821 than soot-H7815 their appearanceH8389 notH3808 they go unrecognizedH5234 in the streets-H2351 clingsH6821 their skinH5785 toH5921 their bones-H6106 as dry,H3001 it has becomeH1961 as wood.H6086
9: Better offH2896 areH1961 [Those] slainH2491 by the swordH2719 Than [those] who dieH2491 of hunger-H7458 for thoseH1992 pine away,H2100 StrickenH1856 [for [lack] of the fruitsH8570 of the field.H7704
10: The handsH3027 of the womenH0802 compassionateH7362 have cookedH1310 their own children-H3206 they becameH1961 foodH1262 in the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my people.H5971
11: Has fulfilledH3615 YahwehH3068 -H0853 His fury-H2534 He has poured outH8210 fierceH2740 His anger,H0639 and He kindledH3341 a fireH0784 in Zion,H6726 and it has devouredH0398 its foundations.H3247

13: Because of the sinsH2403 of her prophets,H5030 [And] the iniquitiesH5771 of her priests,H3548 who shedH8210 in her midstH7130 the bloodH1818 of the just.H6662
14: They wanderedH5128 blindH5787 in the streets,H2351 they have defiled themselvesH1351 with blood,H1818 so that no oneH3808 wouldH3201 touchH5060 their garments.H3830
15: Go awayH5493 unclean-H2931 they cried outH7121 go awayH5493 go away,H5493 not-H0408 do touch usH5060 whenH3588 they fledH5132 andH1571 wandered,H5128 [Those] saidH0559 among the nations,H1471 noH3808 they shall longerH3254 dwell [here].H1481
16: The faceH6440 of YahwehH3068 scattered themH2505 noH3808 longerH3254 He regards themH5027 the personsH6440 the priests,H3548 notH3808 [The people] do respectH5375 the elders.H2205 NorH3808 show favor to.H2603 usH5751 failedH3615 our eyesH5869 forH0413 our help-H5833 [Watching] vainlyH1892 in our watchingH6822 we watchedH6822 forH0413 a nationH1471 notH3808 [that] could save [us].H3467
18: They trackedH6679 our steps,H6806 so that we could not walkH1980 in our streets-H7339 was near,H7126 Our endH7093 were over-H4390 Our daysH3117 forH3588 had comeH0935 our end.H7093
19: SwifterH7031 wereH1961 Our pursuersH7291 Than the eaglesH5404 of the heavens-H8064 onH5921 the mountains,H2022 they pursued usH1814 in the wilderness.H4057 And lay in waitH0693
20: The breathH7307 of our nostrils,H0639 the anointedH4899 of Yahweh,H3068 Was caughtH3920 in their pits,H7825 of whomH0834 we said,H0559 Under his shadowH6738 we shall liveH2421 among the nations.H1471
