25:001:016 For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with
           water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is
           far from me:  my children are desolate, because the enemy
           prevailed.

25:001:017 Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort
           her:  the lord hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his
           adversaries should be round about him:  Jerusalem is as a
           menstruous woman among them.

25:001:018 The lord is righteous; for I have rebelled against his
           commandment:  hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my
           sorrow:  my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.

25:001:019 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me:  my priests and
           mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought
           their meat to relieve their souls.

25:001:020 Behold, O lord; for I am in distress:  my bowels are troubled;
           mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously
           rebelled:  abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as
           death.

25:001:021 They have heard that I sigh:  there is none to comfort me:  all
           mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou
           hast done it:  thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called,
           and they shall be like unto me.

25:001:022 Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them,
           as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions:  for my
           sighs are many, and my heart is faint.

25:002:001 How 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!

25:002:002 The 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.

25:002:003 He 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.

25:002:004 He 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.

25:002:005 The 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.
