How the gold has become dim! Ezk 7:19-22Lam 2:19Isa 1:212Ki 25:9-10Isa 14:12Jer 52:13Mat 24:2Luk 21:5-6
The most pure gold has changed!
The stones of the sanctuary are poured out
at the head of every street.
The precious sons of Zion, Isa 30:14Jer 19:11Rom 9:21-232Ti 2:202Co 4:7Isa 51:18Lam 5:12Zec 9:13
comparable to fine gold,
how they are esteemed as earthen pitchers,
the work of the hands of the potter!
Even the jackals offer their breast. Ezk 5:10Luk 23:28-29Lam 2:20Lam 4:102Ki 6:26-29Deu 28:52-57Jer 19:9Job 39:13-16
They nurse their young ones.
But the daughter of my people has become cruel,
like the ostriches in the wilderness.
The tongue of the nursing child clings to the roof of his mouth for thirst. Psa 22:15Lam 2:11-12Psa 137:6Deu 32:24Lam 1:11Mat 7:9-11
The young children ask for bread,
and no one breaks it for them.
Those who ate delicacies are desolate in the streets. Luk 16:19Amo 6:3-7Luk 15:16Pro 31:211Ti 5:62Sa 1:24Deu 28:54-56Isa 24:6-12
Those who were brought up in purple embrace dunghills.
For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, Gen 19:25Isa 1:9-10Luk 10:12Luk 12:47Mat 24:21Dan 9:12Ezk 16:48-50Lam 4:9
which was overthrown as in a moment.
No hands were laid on her.
Her nobles were purer than snow. Psa 51:7Psa 144:12Sng 5:101Sa 16:12Amo 2:11-12Dan 1:15Jdg 13:5Jdg 13:7
They were whiter than milk.
They were more ruddy in body than rubies.
Their polishing was like sapphire.
Their appearance is blacker than a coal. Lam 5:10Job 30:30Psa 102:3-5Job 19:20Psa 119:83Isa 52:14Job 2:12Job 30:17-19
They are not known in the streets.
Their skin clings to their bones.
It is withered.
It has become like wood.
Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger; Ezk 24:23Jer 16:4Lev 26:39Ezk 33:10
for these pine away, stricken through,
for lack of the fruits of the field.
The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children. 2Ki 6:26-29Isa 49:15Lam 2:20Jer 19:9Ezk 5:10Lam 3:48Lam 4:3Lev 26:29
They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
The LORD has accomplished his wrath. Jer 7:20Ezk 22:31Jer 17:27Lam 2:17Dan 9:12Deu 32:21-25Ezk 20:47-48Jer 13:14
He has poured out his fierce anger.
He has kindled a fire in Zion,
which has devoured its foundations.
The kings of the earth didn’t believe, Deu 29:24-28Psa 48:4-61Ki 9:8-9Jer 21:13
neither did all the inhabitants of the world,
that the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem.
It is because of the sins of her prophets Jer 5:31Jer 6:13Ezk 22:26-28Jer 26:8-9Lam 2:14Mat 23:311Th 2:15-16Act 7:52
and the iniquities of her priests,
that have shed the blood of the just in the middle of her.
They wander as blind men in the streets. Isa 1:15Jer 2:34Deu 28:28-29Isa 56:10Num 19:16Eph 4:18Hos 4:2Isa 29:10-12
They are polluted with blood,
So that men can’t touch their garments.
“Go away!” they cried to them. Lev 13:45-46
“Unclean! Go away! Go away! Don’t touch!
When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations,
“They can’t live here any more.”
The LORD’s anger has scattered them. Isa 9:14-16Lam 5:12Deu 32:26Deu 28:25Deu 28:64-65Heb 8:9Jer 24:92Ch 36:17
He will not pay attention to them any more.
They didn’t respect the persons of the priests.
They didn’t favor the elders.
Our eyes still fail, Ezk 29:162Ki 24:7Isa 20:5Ezk 29:6-7Isa 30:1-7Isa 31:1-3Jer 2:18Jer 2:36
looking in vain for our help.
In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
They hunt our steps, Amo 8:2Ezk 7:2-12Psa 140:11Jer 16:16Lam 3:521Sa 24:142Ki 25:4-5Ezk 12:22-23
so that we can’t go in our streets.
Our end is near.
Our days are fulfilled,
for our end has come.
Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky. Hab 1:8Jer 4:13Isa 5:26-28Deu 28:49Hos 8:1Isa 30:16-17Amo 2:14Amo 9:1-3
They chased us on the mountains.
They set an ambush for us in the wilderness.
The breath of our nostrils, 2Sa 1:142Sa 19:21Ezk 12:13Gen 2:7Jer 39:52Sa 1:21Ezk 17:18Lam 2:9
the anointed of the LORD,
was taken in their pits;
of whom we said,
under his shadow we will live among the nations.
Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom, Amo 1:11Job 1:1Rev 16:15Psa 137:72Ch 28:19Ecc 11:9Ezk 25:12-14Ezk 25:6
who dwells in the land of Uz.
The cup will pass through to you also.
You will be drunken,
and will make yourself naked.
The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, daughter of Zion. Isa 40:2Jer 50:20Psa 137:7Ezk 37:28Isa 52:1Isa 60:18Jer 32:40Jer 33:8
He will no more carry you away into captivity.
He will visit your iniquity, daughter of Edom.
He will uncover your sins.
