00:00.000 --> 00:01.000
Chapter four.

00:02.180 --> 00:04.000
How has the gold become dim?

00:04.560 --> 00:07.680
How is the most fine gold changed?

00:08.380 --> 00:12.280
The stones of the sanctuary are poured out
in the top of every street.

00:13.120 --> 00:17.920
The precious sons of Zion, comparable to
fine gold, how are they esteemed as

00:17.920 --> 00:20.860
earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of
the potter?

00:21.880 --> 00:25.940
Even the sea monsters draw out the breast,
they give suck to the young ones.

00:25.940 --> 00:30.080
The daughter of my people has become cruel
like the ostriches in the wilderness.

00:31.060 --> 00:35.080
The tongue of the sucking child cleatheth
to the roof of his mouth for thirst.

00:35.960 --> 00:39.540
The young children ask bread, and no man
breaketh it unto them.

00:40.280 --> 00:43.200
They that did feed delicately are desolate
in the streets.

00:44.080 --> 00:46.760
They that were brought up in scarlet
embrace dunghills.

00:47.300 --> 00:51.320
For the punishment of the iniquity of the
daughter of my people is greater than the

00:51.320 --> 00:52.700
punishment of the sin of Sodom.

00:53.200 --> 00:56.820
That was overthrown as in a moment,
and no hand stayed on her.

00:57.800 --> 00:59.560
Her Nazarites were purer than snow.

01:00.320 --> 01:01.300
They were whiter than milk.

01:01.960 --> 01:03.840
They were more ruddy in body than rubies.

01:04.200 --> 01:05.680
Their polishing was of sapphire.

01:06.920 --> 01:08.720
Their visage is blacker than a coal.

01:09.820 --> 01:10.900
They are not known in the streets.

01:11.800 --> 01:13.680
Their skin cleaveth to their bones.

01:14.280 --> 01:14.880
It is withered.

01:15.540 --> 01:16.980
It has become like a stick.

01:18.260 --> 01:21.800
They that be slain with the sword are
better than they that be slain with

01:21.800 --> 01:22.120
hunger.

01:22.700 --> 01:26.500
For these pine away, stricken through for
want of the fruits of the field.

01:27.180 --> 01:29.620
The hands of the pitiful women have
soddened their own children.

01:30.240 --> 01:32.740
They were their meat in the destruction of
the daughter of my people.

01:33.900 --> 01:35.560
The Lord hath accomplished his fury.

01:36.200 --> 01:39.940
He hath poured out his fierce anger,
and hath kindled a fire in Zion,

01:40.520 --> 01:42.940
and it hath devoured the foundations
thereof.

01:44.200 --> 01:48.340
The kings of the earth and all the
inhabitants of the world would not have

01:48.340 --> 01:51.600
believed that the adversary and the enemy
should have entered into the gates of

01:51.600 --> 01:52.120
Jerusalem.

01:52.800 --> 01:56.600
For the sins of her prophets and the
iniquities of her priests that have shed

01:56.600 --> 02:00.900
the blood of the just in the midst of her,
they have wandered as blind men in the

02:00.900 --> 02:01.260
streets.

02:01.880 --> 02:05.680
They have polluted themselves with blood,
so that men could not touch their

02:05.680 --> 02:06.080
garments.

02:07.220 --> 02:10.360
They cried unto them, Depart ye,
it is unclean.

02:10.860 --> 02:12.560
Depart, depart, touch not.

02:13.020 --> 02:16.360
When they fled away and wandered,
they said among the heathen, they shall no

02:16.360 --> 02:17.300
more sojourn there.

02:18.080 --> 02:19.720
The anger of the Lord hath divided them.

02:20.100 --> 02:21.340
He will no more regard them.

02:22.000 --> 02:23.880
They respected not the persons of the
priests.

02:24.540 --> 02:25.860
They favoured not the elders.

02:26.900 --> 02:30.480
As for us, our eyes has yet failed for our
vain help.

02:31.300 --> 02:34.140
In our watching we have watched for a
nation that could not save us.

02:34.980 --> 02:38.020
They hunt our steps, though we cannot go
in our streets.

02:39.040 --> 02:39.980
Our end is near.

02:40.780 --> 02:41.820
Our days are fulfilled.

02:42.760 --> 02:44.120
For our end is come.

02:45.240 --> 02:47.720
Our persecutors are swifter than the
eagles of the heaven.

02:47.720 --> 02:49.780
They pursued us upon the mountains.

02:50.060 --> 02:51.740
They laid wait for us in the wilderness.

02:53.000 --> 02:57.020
The breath of our nostrils, the anointed
of the Lord, was taken in their pits.

02:57.760 --> 03:01.480
Of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall
live among the heathen.

03:02.720 --> 03:06.800
Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom,
that dwellest in the land of us.

03:07.680 --> 03:09.880
The cup also shall pass through unto thee.

03:10.620 --> 03:12.800
Thou shalt be drunken and shalt make
thyself naked.

03:13.580 --> 03:16.680
The punishment of thine iniquity is
accomplished, O daughter of Zion.

03:17.320 --> 03:19.500
He will no more carry thee away into
captivity.

03:20.340 --> 03:22.620
He will visit thine iniquity, O daughter
of Edom.

03:23.440 --> 03:25.100
He will discover thy sins.
