Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Lam 1:15

Unchecked Copy BoxLam 1:15 - Samech. The Lord has cut off all my strong men from the midst of me: he has summoned against me a time for crushing my choice men: the Lord has trodden a wine-press for the virgin daughter of Juda: for these things I weep.

Tools

Unchecked Copy Box Lam 1:16

Unchecked Copy BoxLam 1:21 - Chsen. Hear, I pray you, for I groan: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of mine afflictions, and rejoice because thou hast done it: thou hast brought on the day, thou hast called the time: they are become like to me.

Tools
