And it came to passe, after that Israel was brought into captiuitie,
and Ierusalem was desolate, Ieremie the prophete sate
weeping, and he mourned with this lamentation vpon Ierusalem,
and with a pensiue mind sighing, and wayling he sayd: note
Chap. I.
1 noteHow doeth the citie ful of people, sitte solitarie: how
is the ladie of the Gentiles become as a widow: the
princesse of prouinces is made tributarie? note
2 noteWeeping she hath wept in the night, and her teares are on
her cheekes: there is none to comfort her of al her deare ones:
al her freindes haue despised her, and are become her enimies.
3 noteIudas is note gone into transmigration because of affliction,
and the multitude of bondage: she hath dwelt among the
Gentiles, neither hath she found rest: al her persecuters haue
apprehended her within the straites.
4 noteThe waies of Sion mourne, because there are none that
come to the solemnitie: al her gates are destroyed: her priestes
sighing: her virgins lothsome, and herself is oppressed with
bitternes.
5 noteHer aduersaries are made note in the head, her enemies are enriched:
because our Lord hath spoken vpon her for the multitude
of her iniquities: her litle ones are led into captiuitie,
before the face of the afflicter.
6 noteAnd from the daughter of Sion al her beautie is departed:
her princes are become as note rammes not fynding pastures:
and they are gone without strength before the face of the
pursewer.
7 noteIerusalem hath remembred the dayes of her affliction, and
preuarication of al her thinges worthie to be desyred, which
she had from the daies of old, when her people fel in the enimies
hand, and there was no helper: the enemies haue sene her,
and haue scorned her sabbathes.
-- --
8 noteIerusalem hath sinned a sinne, therfore is she made vnstable:
al that did glorifie her, haue despised her, because they haue
sene her ignominie: but she sighing is turned backward.
9 noteHer note filthines is on her feete, neither hath she remembred
her end: she is pulled downe excedingly, not hauing a
comforter: see ô Lord mine affliction, because the enemie is
exalted.
10 noteThe enimie hath thrust his hand to al her thinges worthie
to be desyred: because she hath sene the Gentiles enter into
her sanctuarie, of whom thou gauest commandment that
they should not enter into thy church.
11 noteAl her people sighing, and seeking bread: they haue geuen
al precious thinges for meate to refresh the soule, see ô Lord
and consider, because I am become vyle.
12 noteO al ye that passe by the way, attend, and see if there be
sorow like to my sorow: because he hath made note vintage of
me, as our Lord hath spoken in the day of the wrath of his
furie.
13 noteFrom on high he hath cast a fyre in my bones, and hath
taught me: he hath spred a net for my feete, he hath turned me
backward: he hath made me desolate, al the day consumed
with sorow.
14 noteThe yoke of mine iniquities hath watched: they are folded
together in his hand, and put vpon my necke: my strength is
weakened: our Lord hath geuen me into the hand, from
which I can not rise.
15 noteOur Lord hath taken away al my magnifical ones out of
the middes of me: he hath called a time against me, to destroy
mine elect: our Lord hath troden the winepresse to the virgin
the daughter of Iuda.
16 noteTherfore am I weeping, and mine eye shedding teares:
because a comforter is made far from me, conuerting my
soule: my children are become desolate because the enemie
hath preuayled.
17 noteSion hath spred forth her handes, there is none to comfort
her: our Lord hath commanded against Iacob, round about
him are his enemies: Ierusalem is become as a woman polluted
with menstrous floores among them.
18 noteOur Lord is iust, because I haue prouoked his mouth to
wrath: heare I beseech al ye peoples, and see my sorow: my
virgins, and my pong men are gone into captiuitie.
-- --
19 noteI haue called note my freindes, they haue deceiued me: my
priestes and my ancientes are consumed in the citie: because
they haue sought meat for themselues, to refresh their
soule.
20 noteSee ô Lord that I am in tribulation, my bellie is trubled: my
hart is ouerturned in myself, because I am ful of bitternes:
the sword killeth abrode, and at home it is note lyke death.
21 noteThey haue heard that I doe sigh, and there is none to comfort
me: al mine enimies haue heard mine euil, they haue reioyced,
because thou hast done it: thou hast brought a day of
consolation, and they shal be made lyke to me.
22 noteLet al their euil enter in before thee: and vintage them, as
thou hast vintaged me for al mine iniquities: for my sighings
are manie, and my hart is sorowful.
