By the rivers of Babylon— there we sat down and wept when we remembered Zion.

我们曾在巴比伦的河边坐下，一追想锡安就哭了。

我们在巴比伦河边，坐在那里，追想锡安，就哭了。

我们在巴比伦河边，坐在那里，追想锡安，就哭了。

我们坐在巴比伦河畔，想起锡安禁不住凄然泪下。

我们曾坐在巴比伦的河畔，在那里我们一想起锡安就哭了。

在巴比伦河边，我们坐在那里，想起锡安的时候，就哭了。

我們曾在巴比倫的河邊坐下，一追想錫安就哭了。

我們曾在巴比倫河溝邊，在那裏、我們一追想到錫安，就坐在地上哭了。

在巴比倫河邊，我們坐在那裡，想起錫安的時候，就哭了。

在巴比倫河濱、我儕追念郇邑、坐而哭泣兮、

我坐於巴比倫河濱、追思郇邑、哭泣不已兮。

我儕曾坐在巴比倫之河濱、追想郇城、痛哭流淚、

憶昔淹留巴比倫。河濱默坐泣西溫。

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

We were sitting by the rivers of Babylon. We wept when we remembered what had happened to Zion.

By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion.

Beside the rivers of Babylon, we sat and wept as we thought of Jerusalem.

By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down and wept, When we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon— there we sat down and wept when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon we sit down and weep when we remember Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, while I was among the exiles by the Chebar Canal, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.

I came to the exiles at Tel-abib, who were living by the Chebar Canal, and I sat there among them stunned for seven days.

the word of the LORD came directly to the priest Ezekiel son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Chebar Canal. The LORD’s hand was on him there.

I eat ashes like bread and mingle my drinks with tearsbecause of your indignation and wrath; for you have picked me up and thrown me aside.My days are like a lengthening shadow, and I wither away like grass.But you, LORD, are enthroned forever; your fame endures to all generations.You will rise up and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her— the appointed time has come.For your servants take delight in its stones and favor its dust.

I proclaimed a fast by the Ahava River, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask him for a safe journey for us, our dependents, and all our possessions.

I never sat with the band of revelers, and I did not celebrate with them. Because your hand was on me, I sat alone, for you filled me with indignation.

As he approached and saw the city, he wept for it,

But if you will not listen, my innermost being will weep in secret because of your pride. My eyes will overflow with tears, for the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.Say to the king and the queen mother: Take a humble seat, for your glorious crowns have fallen from your heads.

The elders of Daughter Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have thrown dust on their heads and put on sackcloth. The young women of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground.My eyes are worn out from weeping; I am churning within. My heart is poured out in grief because of the destruction of my dear people, because infants and nursing babies faint in the streets of the city.

My eyes bring me grief because of the fate of all the women in my city.

They said to me,“ The remnant in the province, who survived the exile, are in great trouble and disgrace. Jerusalem’s wall has been broken down, and its gates have been burned.”When I heard these words, I sat down and wept. I mourned for a number of days, fasting and praying before the God of the heavens.

and replied to the king,“ May the king live forever! Why should I not be sad when the city where my ancestors are buried lies in ruins and its gates have been destroyed by fire?”

You who have escaped the sword, go and do not stand still! Remember the LORD from far away, and let Jerusalem come to your mind.We are ashamed because we have heard insults. Humiliation covers our faces because foreigners have entered the holy places of the LORD’s temple.

The hearts of the people cry out to the Lord. Wall of Daughter Zion, let your tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief and your eyes no rest.

I remember this as I pour out my heart: how I walked with many, leading the festive procession to the house of God, with joyful and thankful shouts.

When they looked from a distance, they could barely recognize him. They wept aloud, and each man tore his robe and threw dust into the air and on his head.Then they sat on the ground with him seven days and nights, but no one spoke a word to him because they saw that his suffering was very intense.

We set out from the Ahava River on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem. We were strengthened by our God, and he kept us from the grasp of the enemy and from ambush along the way.

My eyes flow with streams of tears because of the destruction of my dear people.

I weep because of these things; my eyes flow with tears. For there is no one nearby to comfort me, no one to keep me alive. My children are desolate because the enemy has prevailed.

A river went out from Eden to water the garden. From there it divided and became the source of four rivers.The name of the first is Pishon, which flows through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.Gold from that land is pure; bdellium and onyx are also there.The name of the second river is Gihon, which flows through the entire land of Cush.The name of the third river is Tigris, which runs east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

So I turned my attention to the Lord God to seek him by prayer and petitions, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.

In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three full weeks.I didn’t eat any rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I didn’t put any oil on my body until the three weeks were over.

Be glad for Jerusalem and rejoice over her, all who love her. Rejoice greatly with her, all who mourn over her—

I will grant my two witnesses authority to prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.”
