God’s Anger over Israel

1How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion
With a cloud in His anger!
He has hurled
The glory of Israel from heaven to earth,
And has not remembered His footstool
In the day of His anger.
2The Lord has destroyed; He has not spared
All the settlements of Jacob.
In His wrath He has overthrown
The strongholds of the daughter of Judah,
He has hurled them down to the ground;
He has profaned the kingdom and its leaders.
3In fierce anger He has cut off
All the strength of Israel;
He has pulled back His right hand
From the enemy.
And He has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire
Consuming on all sides.
4He has bent His bow like an enemy;
His right hand is positioned like an adversary,
And He has killed everything that was pleasant to the eye.
In the tent of the daughter of Zion
He has poured out His wrath like fire.
5The Lord has become like an enemy.
He has engulfed Israel;
He has engulfed all its palaces,
He has destroyed its strongholds
And caused great mourning and grieving in the daughter of Judah.
6And He has treated His tabernacle violently, like a despised garden;
He has destroyed His appointed meeting place.
The LORD has caused
The appointed feast and Sabbath in Zion to be forgotten,
And He has despised king and priest
In the indignation of His anger.
7The Lord has rejected His altar,
He has repudiated His sanctuary;
He has handed over
The walls of her palaces to the enemy.
They have made a noise in the house of the LORD
As on the day of an appointed feast.
8The LORD determined to destroy
The wall of the daughter of Zion.
He has stretched out a line,
He has not restrained His hand from destroying,
And He has caused rampart and wall to mourn;
They have languished together.
9Her gates have sunk into the ground,
He has destroyed and broken her bars.
Her king and her leaders are among the nations;
The Law is gone.
Her prophets, too, find
No vision from the LORD.
10The elders of the daughter of Zion
Sit on the ground and are silent.
They have thrown dust on their heads;
They have put on sackcloth.
The virgins of Jerusalem
Have bowed their heads to the ground.
11My eyes fail because of tears,
My spirit is greatly troubled;
My heart is poured out on the earth
Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
When little ones and infants languish
In the streets of the city.
12They say to their mothers,
“Where is grain and wine?”
As they faint like a wounded person
In the streets of the city,
As their lives are poured out
In their mothers’ arms.
13How shall I admonish you?
What shall I compare to you,
Daughter of Jerusalem?
What shall I liken to you as I comfort you,
Virgin daughter of Zion?
For your collapse is as vast as the sea;
Who can heal you?
14Your prophets have seen for you
Worthless and deceptive visions;
And they have not exposed your wrongdoing
So as to restore you from captivity,
But they have seen for you worthless and misleading pronouncements.
15All who pass along the way
Clap their hands in ridicule at you;
They hiss and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city of which they said,
‘Perfect in beauty,
A joy to all the earth’?”
16All your enemies
Have opened their mouths wide against you;
They hiss and gnash their teeth.
They say, “We have engulfed her!
This certainly is the day which we awaited;
We have reached it, we have seen it!”
17The LORD has done what He determined;
He has accomplished His word
Which He commanded from days of old.
He has torn down without sparing,
And He has helped the enemy to rejoice over you;
He has exalted the might of your adversaries.
18Their heart cried out to the Lord:
“You wall of the daughter of Zion,
Let your tears stream down like a river day and night;
Give yourself no relief,
Let your eyes have no rest.
19“Arise, whimper in the night
At the beginning of the night watches;
Pour out your heart like water
Before the presence of the Lord;
Raise your hands to Him
For the life of your little ones
Who languish because of hunger
At the head of every street.
20“See, LORD, and look!
With whom have You dealt this way?
Should women really eat their children,
The little ones who were born healthy?
Should priest and prophet really be killed
In the sanctuary of the Lord?
21“On the ground in the streets
Lie young and old;
My virgins and my young men
Have fallen by the sword.
You have put them to death on the day of Your anger,
You have slaughtered, without sparing.
22“You called as on the day of an appointed feast
My terrors on every side;
And there was no one who survived or escaped
On the day of the LORD’S anger.
As for those whom I brought forth healthy and whom I raised,
My enemy annihilated them.”
1主何竟發怒,使黑雲遮蔽錫安城!他將以色列的華美從天扔在地上;在他發怒的日子並不記念自己的腳凳。2主吞滅雅各一切的住處,並不顧惜。他發怒傾覆猶大民的保障,使這保障坍倒在地;他辱沒這國和其中的首領。3他發烈怒,把以色列的角全然砍斷,在仇敵面前收回右手。他像火焰四圍吞滅,將雅各燒毀。4他張弓好像仇敵;他站著舉起右手,如同敵人將悅人眼目的,盡行殺戮。在錫安百姓的帳棚上倒出他的忿怒,像火一樣。5主如仇敵吞滅以色列和錫安的一切宮殿,拆毀百姓的保障;在猶大民中加增悲傷哭號。6他強取自己的帳幕,好像是園中的窩棚,毀壞他的聚會之處。耶和華使聖節和安息日在錫安都被忘記,又在怒氣的憤恨中藐視君王和祭司。7耶和華丟棄自己的祭壇,憎惡自己的聖所,將宮殿的牆垣交付仇敵。他們在耶和華的殿中喧嚷,像在聖會之日一樣。8耶和華定意拆毀錫安的城牆;他拉了準繩,不將手收回,定要毀滅。他使外郭和城牆都悲哀,一同衰敗。9錫安的門都陷入地內;主將她的門閂毀壞,折斷。她的君王和首領落在沒有律法的列國中;她的先知不得見耶和華的異象。10錫安城的長老坐在地上默默無聲;他們揚起塵土落在頭上,腰束麻布;耶路撒冷的處女垂頭至地。11我眼中流淚,以致失明;我的心腸擾亂,肝膽塗地,都因我眾民遭毀滅,又因孩童和吃奶的在城內街上發昏。12那時,他們在城內街上發昏,好像受傷的,在母親的懷裏,將要喪命;對母親說:穀、酒在哪裏呢?13耶路撒冷的民哪,我可用甚麼向你證明呢?我可用甚麼與你相比呢?錫安的民哪,我可拿甚麼和你比較,好安慰你呢?因為你的裂口大如海,誰能醫治你呢?14你的先知為你見虛假和愚昧的異象,並沒有顯露你的罪孽,使你被擄的歸回;卻為你見虛假的默示和使你被趕出本境的緣故。15凡過路的都向你拍掌。他們向耶路撒冷城嗤笑,搖頭,說:難道人所稱為全美的,稱為全地所喜悅的,就是這城嗎?16你的仇敵都向你大大張口;他們嗤笑,又切齒說:我們吞滅她。這真是我們所盼望的日子臨到了!我們親眼看見了!17耶和華成就了他所定的,應驗了他古時所命定的。他傾覆了,並不顧惜,使你的仇敵向你誇耀;使你敵人的角也被高舉。18錫安民的心哀求主。錫安的城牆啊,願你流淚如河,晝夜不息;願你眼中的瞳人淚流不止。19夜間,每逢交更的時候要起來呼喊,在主面前傾心如水。你的孩童在各市口上受餓發昏;你要為他們的性命向主舉手禱告。20耶和華啊,求你觀看!見你向誰這樣行?婦人豈可吃自己所生育手裏所搖弄的嬰孩嗎?祭司和先知豈可在主的聖所中被殺戮嗎?21少年人和老年人都在街上躺臥;我的處女和壯丁都倒在刀下;你發怒的日子殺死他們。你殺了,並不顧惜。22你招聚四圍驚嚇我的,像在大會的日子招聚人一樣。耶和華發怒的日子,無人逃脫,無人存留。我所搖弄所養育的嬰孩,仇敵都殺淨了。
