1	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.
			2	The precious sons of Zion, comparable# to fine gold, how are they esteemed# as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter# !
			3	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. [sea...: or, sea calves]
			4	The tongue of the sucking child# cleaveth# to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask# bread, and no man breaketh# it unto them.
			5	They that did feed# delicately are desolate# in the streets: they that were brought up# in scarlet embrace# dunghills.
			6	For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater# than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown# as in a moment, and no hands stayed# on her. [punishment of the iniquity: or, iniquity]
			7	Her Nazarites were purer# than snow, they were whiter# than milk, they were more ruddy# in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
			8	Their visage is blacker# than a coal; they are not known# in the streets: their skin cleaveth# to their bones; it is withered# , it is become like a stick. [blacker...: Heb. darker than blackness]
			9	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. [pine...: Heb. flow out]
			10	The hands of the pitiful women have sodden# their own children: they were their meat# in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
			11	The LORD hath accomplished# his fury; he hath poured out# his fierce anger, and hath kindled# a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured# the foundations thereof.
			12	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 Jerusalem.
			13	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,
			14	They have wandered# as blind men in the streets, they have polluted# themselves with blood, so that men could# not touch# their garments. [so...: or, in that they could not but touch]
			15	They cried# unto them, Depart# ye; it is unclean; depart# , depart# , touch# not: when they fled away# and wandered# , they said# among the heathen, They shall no more# sojourn# there . [it...: or, ye polluted]
			16	The anger of the LORD hath divided# them; he will no more# regard# them: they respected# not the persons of the priests, they favoured# not the elders. [anger: or, face]
			17	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 .
			18	They hunt# our steps, that we cannot go# in our streets: our end is near# , our days are fulfilled# ; for our end is come# .
			19	Our persecutors# are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued# us upon the mountains, they laid wait# for us in the wilderness.
			20	The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken# in their pits, of whom we said# , Under his shadow we shall live# among the heathen.
			21	Rejoice# and be glad# , O daughter of Edom, that dwellest# in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass# through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken# , and shalt make thyself naked# .
			22	The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished# , O daughter of Zion; he will no more# carry thee away into captivity# : he will visit# thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover# thy sins. [The...: or, Thine iniquity] [discover...: or, carry thee captive for thy sins]
