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

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 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, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

In the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was among the exiles at the Kebar River, the heavens opened and I saw a divine vision.

I came to the exiles at Tel Abib, who lived by the Kebar River. I sat dumbfounded among them there, where they were living, for seven days.

the word of the LORD came to the priest Ezekiel the son of Buzi, at the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians. The hand of the LORD came on him there).

For I eat ashes as if they were bread, and mix my drink with my tears,because of your anger and raging fury. Indeed, you pick me up and throw me away.My days are coming to an end, and I am withered like grass.But you, O LORD, rule forever, and your reputation endures.You will rise up and have compassion on Zion. For it is time to have mercy on her, for the appointed time has come.Indeed, your servants take delight in her stones, and feel compassion for the dust of her ruins.

I called for a fast there by the Ahava Canal, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and seek from him a safe journey for us, our children, and all our property.

I did not spend my time in the company of other people, laughing and having a good time. I stayed to myself because I felt obligated to you and because I was filled with anger at what they had done.

Now when Jesus approached and saw the city, he wept over it,

But if you will not pay attention to this warning, I will weep alone because of your arrogant pride. I will weep bitterly and my eyes will overflow with tears because you, the LORD’s flock, will be carried into exile.”The LORD told me,“ Tell the king and the queen mother,‘ Surrender your thrones, for your glorious crowns will be removed from your heads.

The elders of Daughter Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have thrown dirt on their heads; They have dressed in sackcloth. Jerusalem’s young women stare down at the ground.כ( Kaf)My eyes are worn out from weeping; my stomach is in knots. My heart is poured out on the ground due to the destruction of my helpless people; children and infants faint in the town squares.ל( Lamed)

What my eyes see grieves me– all the suffering of the daughters in my city.צ( Tsade)

They said to me,“ The remnant that remains from the exile there in the province are experiencing considerable adversity and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem lies breached, and its gates have been burned down!”When I heard these things I sat down abruptly, crying and mourning for several days. I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.

I replied to the king,“ O king, live forever! Why would I not appear dejected when the city with the graves of my ancestors lies desolate and its gates destroyed by fire?”

You who have escaped the sword, go, do not delay. Remember the LORD in a faraway land. Think about Jerusalem.‘ We are ashamed because we have been insulted. Our faces show our disgrace. For foreigners have invaded the holy rooms in the LORD’s temple.’

Cry out from your heart to the Lord, O wall of Daughter Zion! Make your tears flow like a river all day and all night long! Do not rest; do not let your tears stop!ק( Qof)

I will remember and weep! For I was once walking along with the great throng to the temple of God, shouting and giving thanks along with the crowd as we celebrated the holy festival.

But when they gazed intently from a distance but did not recognize him, they began to weep loudly. Each of them tore his robes, and they threw dust into the air over their heads.Then they sat down with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, yet no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.

On the twelfth day of the first month we began traveling from the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from our enemy and from bandits along the way.

Streams of tears flow from my eyes because my people are destroyed.ע( Ayin)

I weep because of these things; my eyes flow with tears. For there is no one in sight who can comfort me or encourage me. My children are desolated because an enemy has prevailed.פ( Pe)

Now a river flows from Eden to water the orchard, and from there it divides into four headstreams.The name of the first is Pishon; it runs through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.( The gold of that land is pure; pearls and lapis lazuli are also there).The name of the second river is Gihon; it runs through the entire land of Cush.The name of the third river is Tigris; it runs along the east side of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.

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

In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks.I ate no choice food; no meat or wine came to my lips, nor did I anoint myself with oil until the end of those three weeks.

Be happy for Jerusalem and rejoice with her, all you who love her! Share in her great joy, all you who have mourned over her!

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