Lam Lamentations, chapter Book of Lamentations, chapter 4
How is the gold become dim! [how] is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street.Isa 1:22
The precious sons of Tziyon [parched place], comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!Jer 18:4
Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people [is become] cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
The tongue of the sucking child cleaves to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, [and] no man breaks [it] unto them.Lam 2:11
They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.Rev 6:5
For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of S’dom [Burning], that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands detained (held) on her.Gen 18:20; Gen 19:4
Her N’zirim [consecrated ones] were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy (reddish hair or complexion) in body than rubies, their polishing [was] of sapphire:
Their visage (appearance; face; look of a person) is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaves to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.Lev 26:16; Ezk 37:11; Lam 3:4
[They that be] slain with the sword are better than [they that be] slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for [want of] the fruits of the field.
The hands of the pitiful women have coocked (boiled) their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.2Ki 6:29; Jer 19:9
The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has accomplished his fury; he has poured out his fierce anger, and has kindled a fire in Tziyon [parched place], and it has devoured the foundations thereof.Jer 7:20
The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
For the sins of her prophets, [and] the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,Jer 5:31
They have wandered [as] blind [men] in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.
They cried unto them, Depart you2f; [it is] unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn [there].
The anger of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.Lam 5:12
As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation [that] could not save [us].
They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.Ezk 7:2
Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.Jer 4:13
The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.Dan 9:24
Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom [Red], that dwell in the land of ‘Utz [wooded]; the cup also shall pass through unto youi: youi shall be drunken, and shall make yourself naked.Psa 137:7
The punishment of youi iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Tziyon [parched place]; he will no more carry youi away into captivity: he will visit youi iniquity, O daughter of Edom [Red]; he will discover (uncover; reveal; have first sight of) youi sins.Isa 40:2
