IN this Elegie the Prophet vseth a very patheticall exordium the better to awaken the peoples consideration and to make them the more sensible of their horrible calamity Which he first illustrateth in generall termes by comparing their estate to the miserable condition of one fallen from the glory of heauen to the lowest earth and in mentioning their being depriued of that glorious Temporall and Ecclesiasticall Gouernment which they formerly enioyed Afterwards he descends to particulars as the destruction of their Pallaces Forts Temple Walls and Gates the prophaning of their Saboths Feasts Rites c. the suspending of their Lawes Priests Prophets The slaughter of young-men and Virgins olde-men and Children with the famine and reproches they sustained c. All which acknowledging to be the iust Iudgements of God hee aduiseth them not to harken to the delusions of their false Prophets but to returne vnto the LORD by teares and hearty repentance For the vse and application see what hath beene said before the former Elegie Song 25. Sing this as the 24. Song HOw darke how be-clowded in his wrath The LORD hath caused Syon to appeare How Isr'els beauty he obscured hath As if throwne downe from Heau'n to Earth he were Oh! why is his displeasure growne so hot And why hath he his Footstoole so forgot 2 The LORD all Syons dwellings hath laid wast And in so doing he no sparing made For in his anger to the ground he cast The strongest Holds that Iudah's-Daughter had Them their Kingdome he to ground doth send And all the Princes of it doth suspend 3 When at the highest his displeasure was From Is●●el all his horne of strength he broke And from before his aduersaries face His Right-hand that restrained him he tooke Yea he in Iacob kindled such a flame As round about hath quite consum'd the same 4 His Bow he as an aduersary bent And by his Right-hand he did plainely shew He drew it with an enemies intent For all that were the fairest Markes he slew In Syons Tabernacle this was done Eu'n there the fire of his displeasure shone 5 The LORD himselfe is he that was the foe By him is Isr●el thus to ruine gone His Palaces he ouerturned so And he his Holds of strength hath ouerthrowne Eu'n he it is from whom it doth arise That Isr●els Daughter thus lamenting lies 6 His Tabernacle Garden-like that was The LORD with violence hath tooke away He hath destroyed his Assembling-place And there nor Feasts nor Sabbaths now haue they No not in Syon For in his fierce wrath He both their King and Priests reiected hath 7 The LORD his holy Altar doth forgoe His Sanctuary he hath quite despiz'd Yea by his meere assistance hath our Foe The Bulwarkes of our Palaces surpriz'd And in the LORDS owne House rude Noyses are As loud as heretofore his Praises were 8 The LORD his thought did purposely encline The wals of Syon should be ouerthrowne To that intent he stretched forth his ●ine And drew not backe his hand till they were downe And so the Turrets with the bruised Wall Did both together to destruction fall 9 Her Gates in heapes of earth obscured are The Barres of them in pieces broke hath he Her King and those that once her Princes were Now borne away among the Gentiles be The Law is lost and they no Prophet haue That from the LORD a vision doth receiue 10 In silence seated on the lowly ground The Senators of Syons-Daughter are With Ashes they their careful heads haue crown'd And mourning Sackcloth girded on them weare Yea on the earth in a distressed-wise Ierusalem●s young Uirgins fixe their eyes 11 And for because my People suffer this Mine eyes with much lamenting dimmed grow Each part within me out of quiet is And on the ground my Liuer forth I throw When as mine Eyes with so sad Obiects meet As Babes halfe dead sprawling in the street 12 For to their Mothers called they for meat Oh where shall we haue meat and drinke they cry And in the Citie while they food entreat They swoune like them that deadly-wounded lie And some of them their soules did breath away As in the Mothers bosome staru'd they lay 13 Ierusalem for thee what can I say Or vnto what maist thou resembled be Oh! whereunto that comfort thee I may Thou Syon●-Daughter shall I liken thee For as the Seas so great thy Breaches are And to repaire them then Ah who is there 14 Thou by thy Prophets hast deluded bin And foolish Uisions they for thee haue sought For they reueiled not to thee thy Sinne To turne away the thraldome it hath brought But lying Prophecies they sought for thee Which of thy sad exile the causes be 15 And those thou Daughter of Ierusalem That on occasions passe along this way With clapping hands and hissings thee contemn● And nodding at Thee thus in scorne they say Is this the Citie men did once behight The flowre of Beauty and the worlds Delight 16 Thy Aduersaries euery one of them Their mouthes haue op'ned at thee to thy shame They hisse and gnash at Thee Ierusalem We we say they haue quite destroy'd the sam● This is that day hath long expected beene Now commeth it and we the same haue seene 17 But this the Lord decreed and brought to passe He to make good that word which once he spake And that which long agoe determin'd was Hath hurled downe and did no pitty take He thus hath made thee scorned of thy Foe And rais'd the Horne of them that hate thee so 18 Oh wall of Syons-Daughter cry amaine Eu'n to the Lord set forth a hearty Cry Downe like a Riuer cause thy teares to raine And let them neither day nor night be dry Seeke neither sleepe thy body to suffice Nor slumber for the Apples of thine eyes 19 At night and when the watch is new begun Then rise and to the Lord Almighty Cry Before him let thy Heart like water runne And lift thou vp to him thy hands on high Eu'n for those hunger-starued Babes of thine That in the Corners of the streets doe pine 20 And thou oh Lord Oh be thou pleas'd to see And thinke on whom thy Iudgements thou hast thrown Shal women fed with their own issue be And Children that a span are scarcely growne Shall thus thy Priests Prophets Lord be slaine As in thy Sanctuary they remaine 21 Nor youth nor Age is from the slaughter free For in the streets lye Yong and Old and all My Uirgines and my yong-men murthered be Eu'n both
