1The Lord's totally throwing shade on Zion, covering her with clouds in anger, and just like that, the beauty of Israel's down for the count. He ain't even remembering his footstool on his bad days!

2God straight up devoured all of Jacob's spots, no cap. He wrecked Judah's strongholds like a savage and brought everything crashing down.

3In his fierce vibes, he cut off Israel's rizz, pulling back his hand from the enemies, burning against Jacob like a fire that just won't chill.

4He bent his bow like a total enemy, standing there like an adversary, taking out all the pretty things in Zion's tabernacle. His fury was lit like fire.

5The Lord was acting like an enemy, swallowing up Israel and her palaces, destroying strongholds and making Judah's girls cry like it's a sad song.

6He snatched up his tabernacle like it was a garden and wrecked the hangout spots. The solemn feasts and sabbaths? Forgotten in Zion, and he straight up dissed the king and the priest.

7The Lord ghosted his altar and hated his sanctuary, giving up the walls of her palaces to the enemy; they were making noise in the Lord's house like it was a party.

8The Lord's like, “I’m done,” stretching out a line to destroy Zion's wall; he made the rampart and the wall cry together, no cap.

9Her gates are sunk, bars broken; her king and princes are among the Gentiles, law's gone, and her prophets are lost, no vision from the Lord.

10The elders of Zion are just sitting on the ground, silent, throwing dust on their heads, while the virgins of Jerusalem are hanging their heads low.

11My eyes are pouring tears, my insides are a mess, feeling it for the destruction of my peeps; kids and babies fainting in the streets, fr.

12They’re asking their moms, “Where's the food and drink?” while they’re swooning like they’ve been hit, pouring their souls out to their moms.

13What can I even say to comfort you, oh Jerusalem? Your breach is massive like the ocean; who even can heal that?

14Your prophets are seeing all this sus stuff for you, not finding your issues to help you out; just false burdens and reasons to banish you.

15Everyone passing by is clapping and laughing at you, shaking their heads at Jerusalem, saying, “Is this really the city that was called the perfection of beauty?”

16All your enemies are hissing and gnashing their teeth, saying, “We totally swallowed her up; this is the day we were waiting for!”

17The Lord’s done what he planned, fulfilling his word from back in the day; he threw you down with no pity, making your enemies pop off.

18Their hearts cried to the Lord, “O wall of Zion, let tears flow like a river, day and night; don’t give yourself a break!”

19Rise up, scream in the night; pour out your heart like water before the Lord, lifting your hands for your kids fainting from hunger in every street.

20Look, Lord, and see who you’ve done this to. Are the women eating their own kids? Are priests and prophets getting slain in your sanctuary?

21The young and old are on the ground in the streets; my girls and guys fell by the sword; you slayed them in your anger, no mercy.

22You called in my fears like it’s a big day, so in the Lord's anger, nobody escaped; those I raised up have been consumed by my enemy.

1How 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!

2The 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.

3He 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.

4He 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.

5The 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.

6And 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.

7The 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.

8The 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.

9Her 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.

10The 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.

11Mine 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.

12They 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.

13What 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?

14Thy 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.

15All 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?

16All 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.

17The 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.

18Their 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.

19Arise, 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.

20Behold, 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?

21The 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.

22Thou 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.
