TWOT Reference: 484a
Jehovah = "the existing One"
the proper name of the one true God
unpronounced except with the vowel pointings of H136
Strong's Number H3068 matches the Hebrew יְהֹוָה (Yᵊhōvâ),
which occurs 32 times in 32 verses in 'Lam'
in the WLC Hebrew.
Her adversaries have become her masters,
Her enemies prosper;
For the LORD has caused her grief
Because of the multitude of her transgressions;
Her young children have gone
Into captivity before the enemy.
Her (ceremonial) uncleanness was on her skirts;
She did not [seriously] consider her future.
Therefore she has come down [from throne to slavery] in an astonishing manner;
She has no comforter.
“O LORD” [cries Jerusalem], “look at my affliction,
For the enemy has magnified himself [in triumph]!”
All her people groan, seeking bread;
They have exchanged their desirable and precious things for food
To restore their lives.
“See, O LORD, and consider
How despised and repulsive I have become!”
“Is it nothing to you, all you who pass this way?
Look and see if there is any pain like my pain
Which was severely dealt out to me,
Which the LORD has inflicted [on me] on the day of His fierce anger.
Zion stretches out her hands,
But there is no comforter for her.
The LORD has commanded concerning Jacob
That his neighbors should be his enemies;
Jerusalem has become a filthy thing [an object of contempt] among them.
“The LORD is righteous and just;
For I have rebelled against His commandment (His word).
Hear now, all you peoples,
And look at my pain;
My virgins and my young men
Have gone into captivity.
“See, O LORD, how distressed I am!
My spirit is deeply disturbed;
My heart is overturned within me and cannot rest,
For I have been very rebellious.
In the street the sword kills and bereaves;
In the house there is [famine, disease and] death!
And He has violently broken down His temple like a [fragile] garden hedge;
He has destroyed His appointed meeting place.
The LORD has caused the appointed feast and Sabbath
To be forgotten in Zion
And has despised and rejected the king and the priest
In the indignation of His anger.
The Lord has rejected His altar;
He has abandoned His sanctuary.
He has given into the hand of the enemy
The walls of her palaces;
They have made a noise in the house of the LORD
As on a day of an appointed feast.
The LORD determined to lay in ruins
The [city] wall of the Daughter of Zion.
He has stretched out a line,
He has not stopped His hand from destroying.
He has caused the rampart and the wall to lament (mourn in grief);
They have languished together.
Her gates have sunk into the ground;
He has destroyed and broken her bars.
Her king and her princes are [exiled] among the nations;
The law is no more.
Also, her prophets no longer find
Vision from the LORD.
The LORD has done what He planned;
He has accomplished His word
Which He commanded [fn]from days of old.
He has demolished without sparing,
And He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you;
He has exalted the power of your enemies.
See, O LORD, and look!
With whom have You dealt this way?
Should women eat their offspring,
The little ones who were born healthy and beautiful?
Should priest and prophet be killed
In the sanctuary of the Lord?
You [LORD] called as in the day of an appointed feast
My terrors (dangers) on every side;
And there was no one who escaped or survived
In the day of the LORD’S anger.
Those I have cared for and brought up with tenderness,
My enemy annihilated them.
So I say, “My strength has perished
And so has my hope and expectation from the LORD.”
It is because of the LORD’S lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed,
Because His [tender] compassions never fail.
“The LORD is my portion and my inheritance,” says my soul;
“Therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.”
The LORD is good to those who wait [confidently] for Him,
To those who seek Him [on the authority of God’s word].
The LORD has fulfilled His wrath;
He has poured out His fierce anger
And has kindled a fire in Zion
That has consumed her foundations.
The presence of the LORD scattered them [among the nations];
He will not continue to look after them.
They did not honor the priests;
They did not favor the elders.
The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD [our king],
Was captured in their snares,
He of whom we had said, “Under his shadow
We shall live among the nations.”
O LORD, remember what has come upon us;
Look, and see our reproach (national disgrace)!
But You, O LORD, reign forever;
Your throne endures from generation to [all] generations.
