以色列家啊，要听我为你们所作的哀歌：

以色列家啊，听我为你们所作的哀歌：

以色列家啊，听我为你们唱哀歌：

以色列家啊！要听这话，就是我为你们唱的挽歌：

以色列家啊，要聽我為你們所作的哀歌：

以色列家啊，聽我為你們所作的哀歌：

以色列家啊，聽我為你們所作的哀歌：

以色列家歟、我為爾作哀歌、爾其聽之、

先知曰、以色列族乎、我為爾作哀歌、尚其聽之哉、

先知曰、以色列族歟、我為爾作哀歌、爾其聽之、

Hear this word, Israel, this lament I take up concerning you:

People of Israel, listen to the Lord’ s message. Hear my song of sadness about you. I say,

Hear this word that I take up over you in lamentation, O house of Israel:

Listen, you people of Israel! Listen to this funeral song I am singing:

Listen to this message that I am singing for you, a lament, house of Israel:

Hear this word which I am taking up for you as a song of mourning, house of Israel:

Hear this word which I take up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel:

Hear ye this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel.

Listen to this message that I am singing for you, a lament, house of Israel:

Hear ye this word which I take up against you,[ even] a lamentation, O house of Israel.

Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel.

“ And you, sing a lament for the princes of Israel,

I said,“ I will weep and mourn for the grasslands on the mountains, I will sing a mournful song for the pastures in the wilderness because they are so scorched no one travels through them. The sound of livestock is no longer heard there. Even the birds in the sky and the wild animals in the fields have fled and are gone.”

The LORD who rules over all told me to say to this people,“ Take note of what I say. Call for the women who mourn for the dead! Summon those who are the most skilled at it!”

So, mourn, you people of this nation. Cut off your hair and throw it away. Sing a song of mourning on the hilltops. For the LORD has decided to reject and forsake this generation that has provoked his wrath!’”

Listen to this message, you cows of Bashan who live on Mount Samaria! You oppress the poor; you crush the needy. You say to your husbands,“ Bring us more to drink!”

This is a lament; they will chant it. The daughters of the nations will chant it. They will chant it over Egypt and over all her hordes, declares the sovereign LORD.”

I said,“ So now, you wailing women, hear what the LORD says. Open your ears to the words from his mouth. Teach your daughters this mournful song, and each of you teach your neighbor this lament.

Listen, you Israelites, to this message which the LORD is proclaiming against you! This message is for the entire clan I brought up from the land of Egypt:

In that day people will sing this taunt song to you– they will mock you with this lament:‘ We are completely destroyed; they sell off the property of my people. How they remove it from me! They assign our fields to the conqueror.’

A fire has gone out from its branch; it has consumed its shoot and its fruit. No strong branch was left in it, nor a scepter to rule.’ This is a lament song, and has become a lament song.”

Your wealth, products, and merchandise, your sailors and captains, your ship’s carpenters, your merchants, and all your fighting men within you, along with all your crew who are in you, will fall into the heart of the seas on the day of your downfall.At the sound of your captains’ cry the waves will surge;They will descend from their ships– all who handle the oar, the sailors and all the sea captains– they will stand on the land.They will lament loudly over you and cry bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in the ashes;they will tear out their hair because of you and put on sackcloth, and they will weep bitterly over you with intense mourning.As they wail they will lament over you, chanting:“ Who was like Tyre, like a tower in the midst of the sea?”

“ You, son of man, sing a lament for Tyre.

They will sing this lament over you:“‘ How you have perished– you have vanished from the seas, O renowned city, once mighty in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror!

Because of Israel’s sins this is what the LORD, the God who commands armies, the sovereign One, says:“ In all the squares there will be wailing, in all the streets they will mourn the dead. They will tell the field workers to lament and the professional mourners to wail.

“ Son of man, sing a lament for the king of Tyre, and say to him,‘ This is what the sovereign LORD says:“‘ You were the sealer of perfection, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

“ Son of man, sing a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him:“‘ You were like a lion among the nations, but you are a monster in the seas; you thrash about in your streams, stir up the water with your feet, and muddy your streams.
