Chap. IIII.
1 noteHow is note the gold darkned, the best colour changed, the
stones of the sanctuarie dispersed in the head of al
streetes?
2 noteThe noble children of Sion, & they that were clothed with
the principal gold: how are they reputed as earthen vessels,
the worke of the potters handes?
3 noteYea euen note the lamiaes haue opened their breast, they haue
geuen sucke to their yong, the daughter of my people is cruel,
as note the ostrich in the desert.
4 noteThe tongue of the suckling hath clouen to the roofe of his
mouth for thirst: the litle ones haue asked bread, and there
was none that brake it vnto them.
5 noteThey that fed voluptuously, haue dyed in the wayes: they
that were brought vp in scarlet, haue imbraced the dung.
6 noteAnd the iniquitie of the daughter of my people is become
greater then the sinne of Sodom: which was ouerthro wen in
a moment, and handes tooke nothing in her.
7 noteHer Nazareites whiter then snow, purer then milke,
ruddier then the old yuorie, fayrer then the sapphire.
8 noteTheir face is made blacker then coales, and they are note not
knowne in the streetes: their skinne hath clouen to their
bones, it is withered, and is made as wood.

9 noteIt was better with them that were slaine with the sword,
then with them that were killed by famine: because these
pyned away consumed by the barrennes of the countrie.
10 noteThe handes of note pitiful wemen haue sodden their owne
children: they were made their meate note in the destruction of
note the daughter of my people.
11 noteOur Lord hath accomplished his furie, he hath powred out
the wrath of his indignation: and he hath kindled a fyre in:
Sion, and it hath deuoured the fundations therof.
12 noteThe kinges of the earth, and al the inhabitants of the world
did not beleue, that the aduersarie and the enemie should
enter in by the gates of Ierusalem.
13 noteFor the sinnes of her note prophets, and the iniquities of her
priestes, which haue shed the bloud of iust men in the middes
of her.
14 noteThe blind wandered in the streetes, they were polluted with
bloud: and when they could not, they held their skirtes.
15 noteDepart ye polluted, they cryed to them: depart, get ye
hence, touch not: for they brawled, & were moued: they said
among the Gentiles: He wil adde no more to dwel among th&ebar;.
16 noteThe face of our Lord hath diuided them, he wil not adde
to respect them: they haue not reuerenced the faces of the
priests, neither had they pitie on the ancients.
17 noteWhiles we yet stood, our eyes fayled towards our vaine
helpe, when we looked attentiue to a nation, that was not
able to saue.
18 noteOur steppes slipped in the way of our streetes, our end
draweth nere: our dayes are accomplished, because our end
is come.
19 noteOur persecuters were swifter then the eagles of the heauen:
vpon the mountaines they pursued vs, in the desert they lay
in waite against vs.
20 noteThe spirit of our mouth note Christ our Lord is taken in our
sinnes: to whom we haue said: In thy shadow shal we liue
among the Gentiles.
21 noteReioyce, and be glad ô daughter of Edom, which dwellest in
the Land of Hus: to thee also shal the cuppe come, thou shalt
be made drunken, and naked.
22 noteThine iniquitie is accomplished ô daughter of Sion, he wil
adde no more to transport thee: he hath visited thine iniquitie
ô daughter of Edom, he hath discouered thy sinnes.
