- 1Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.זְכֹ֤ר יְהוָה֙ מֶֽה הָ֣יָה הביט הַבִּ֖יטָה וּרְאֵ֥ה אֶת חֶרְפָּתֵֽנוּ
- 2Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.נַחֲלָתֵ֨נוּ֙ נֶֽהֶפְכָ֣ה לְזָרִ֔ים בָּתֵּ֖ינוּ לְנָכְרִֽים
- 3We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.יְתוֹמִ֤ים הָיִ֨ינוּ֙ אין וְאֵ֣ין אָ֔ב אִמֹּתֵ֖ינוּ כְּאַלְמָנֽוֹת
- 4We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.מֵימֵ֨ינוּ֙ בְּכֶ֣סֶף שָׁתִ֔ינוּ עֵצֵ֖ינוּ בִּמְחִ֥יר יָבֹֽאוּ

- 6We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.מִצְרַ֨יִם֙ נָתַ֣נּוּ יָ֔ד אַשּׁ֖וּר לִשְׂבֹּ֥עַֽ לָֽחֶם
- 7Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.אֲבֹתֵ֤ינוּ חָֽטְאוּ֙ אינם וְאֵינָ֔ם אנחנו וַאֲנַ֖חְנוּ עֲוֺנֹתֵיהֶ֥ם סָבָֽלְנוּ

- 10Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.עוֹרֵ֨נוּ֙ כְּתַנּ֣וּר נִכְמָ֔רוּ מִפְּנֵ֖י זַלְעֲפ֥וֹת רָעָֽב
- 11They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.נָשִׁים֙ בְּצִיּ֣וֹן עִנּ֔וּ בְּתֻלֹ֖ת בְּעָרֵ֥י יְהוּדָֽה
- 12Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.שָׂרִים֙ בְּיָדָ֣ם נִתְל֔וּ פְּנֵ֥י זְקֵנִ֖ים לֹ֥א נֶהְדָּֽרוּ
- 13They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.בַּחוּרִים֙ טְח֣וֹן נָשָׂ֔אוּ וּנְעָרִ֖ים בָּעֵ֥ץ כָּשָֽׁלוּ
- 14The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.זְקֵנִים֙ מִשַּׁ֣עַר שָׁבָ֔תוּ בַּחוּרִ֖ים מִנְּגִינָתָֽם
- 15The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.שָׁבַת֙ מְשׂ֣וֹשׂ לִבֵּ֔נוּ נֶהְפַּ֥ךְ לְאֵ֖בֶל מְחֹלֵֽנוּ
- 16The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!נָֽפְלָה֙ עֲטֶ֣רֶת רֹאשֵׁ֔נוּ אֽוֹי נָ֥א כִּ֥י חָטָֽאנוּ
- 17For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.עַל זֶ֗ה הָיָ֤ה דָוֶה֙ לִבֵּ֔נוּ עַל אֵ֖לֶּה חָשְׁכ֥וּ עֵינֵֽינוּ
- 18Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.עַ֤ל הַר צִיּוֹן֙ שֶׁשָּׁמֵ֔ם שׁוּעָלִ֖ים הִלְּכוּ
- 19Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.אַתָּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ לְעוֹלָ֣ם תֵּשֵׁ֔ב כִּסְאֲךָ֖ לְדֹ֥ר וָדֽוֹר
- 20Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?לָ֤מָּה לָנֶ֨צַח֙ תִּשְׁכָּחֵ֔נוּ תַּֽעַזְבֵ֖נוּ לְאֹ֥רֶךְ יָמִֽים
- 21Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.הֲשִׁיבֵ֨נוּ יְהוָ֤ה אֵלֶ֨יךָ֙ ונשוב וְֽנָשׁ֔וּבָה חַדֵּ֥שׁ יָמֵ֖ינוּ כְּקֶֽדֶם
- 22But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.כִּ֚י אִם מָאֹ֣ס מְאַסְתָּ֔נוּ קָצַ֥פְתָּ עָלֵ֖ינוּ עַד מְאֹֽד

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
