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 are at ease,
for the LORD has made her suffer
because of her many transgressions.
Her children have gone away
as captives before the adversary.
Her uncleanness stains her skirts.
She never considered her end.
Her downfall was astonishing;
there was no one to comfort her.
LORD, look on my affliction,
for the enemy boasts.
All her people groan
while they search for bread.
They have traded their precious belongings for food
in order to stay alive.
LORD, look and see
how I have become despised.
Is this nothing to you, all you who pass by?
Look and see!
Is there any pain like mine,
which was dealt out to me,
which the LORD made me suffer
on the day of his burning anger?
Zion stretches out her hands;
there is no one to comfort her.
The LORD has issued a decree against Jacob
that his neighbors should be his adversaries.
Jerusalem has become
something impure among them.
The LORD is just,
for I have rebelled against his command.
Listen, all you people;
look at my pain.
My young women and young men
have gone into captivity.
LORD, see how I am in distress.
I am churning within;
my heart is broken,[fn]
for I have been very rebellious.
Outside, the sword takes the children;
inside, there is death.
The Lord has rejected his altar,
repudiated his sanctuary;
he has handed the walls of her palaces
over to the enemy.
They have raised a shout in the house of the LORD
as on the day of an appointed festival.
The LORD determined to destroy
the wall of Daughter Zion.
He stretched out a measuring line
and did not restrain himself from destroying.
He made the ramparts and walls grieve;
together they waste away.
Zion’s gates have fallen to the ground;
he has destroyed and shattered the bars on her gates.
Her king and her leaders live among the nations,
instruction[fn] is no more,
and even her prophets receive
no vision from the LORD.
The LORD has done what he planned;
he has accomplished his decree,
which he ordained in days of old.
He has demolished without compassion,
letting the enemy gloat over you
and exalting the horn of your adversaries.
LORD, look and consider
to whom you have done this.
Should women eat their own children,
the infants they have nurtured?[fn]
Should priests and prophets
be killed in the Lord’s sanctuary?
The LORD has exhausted his wrath,
poured out his burning anger;
he has ignited a fire in Zion,
and it has consumed her foundations.
The LORD himself has scattered them;
he no longer watches over them.
The priests are not respected;
the elders find no favor.
The LORD’s anointed, the breath of our life,[fn]
was captured in their traps.
We had said about him,
“We will live under his protection among the nations.”
