BETH. In the day of His wrath the Lord has overwhelmed [her] as in the sea, [and] not spared. He has brought down in His fury all the beautiful things of Jacob; He has brought down to the ground the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He has profaned her kings and her princes.

HETH. And He has turned to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; He has stretched out the measuring line, He has not turned back His hand from afflicting her; therefore the bulwark mourned, and the wall was weakened with it.

TETH. Her gates have sunk into the ground; He has destroyed and broken to pieces her bars, and her king and her prince among the Gentiles. There is no law; nay, her prophets have seen no vision from the Lord.

My eye shall prey upon my soul, because of all the daughters of the city.

And Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the [son] of Iddo, prophesied a prophesy to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, [even] to them.

Then Zerubbabel the [son] of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jehozadak rose up, and began to build the house of God that was in Jerusalem, and with them [were] the prophets of God assisting them.

And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have broken covenant with our God, and have taken strange wives of the nations of the land. Yet now there is patience [of hope] to Israel concerning this thing.

arise, and alarm them with the commands of our God; and let [it] be done according to the law. Rise up, for the matter [is] upon you; and we [are] with you. Be strong and do.

Be strong, you relaxed hands and feeble knees.

Comfort one another, you fainthearted; be strong, fear not; behold, our God renders judgment, and He will render [it]; He will come and save us.

And they said to me, The remnant, [even] those that are left of the captivity, [are] there in the land, in great distress and reproach; and the walls of Jerusalem [are] thrown down, and its gates are burned with fire.

And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, On these terms will I make a covenant with you, that I will put out all your right eyes, and I will lay a reproach upon Israel.

You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them [that are] round about us.

Repay to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached You, O Lord.

Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, which I have borne in my bosom, [even the reproach] of many nations;

with which Your enemies have reviled, O Lord; with which they have reviled the recompense of Your anointed.

And I will cause them to be dispersed into all the kingdoms of the earth, and they shall be for a reproach, and a proverb, and an [object of] hatred, and a curse, in every place where I have driven them out.

AIN. You have set us [alone] in the midst of the nations.

All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.

And I will make you desolate, and your daughters round about you, in the sight of everyone that passes through.

in their blood which you have shed, you have transgressed; and in your devices which you have formed, you have polluted yourself; and you have brought near your days, and have brought on the time of your years; therefore have I made you a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all the countries,

to those near you, and to those far away; and they shall mock you, [you that are] notoriously unclean, and abundant in iniquities.
