Lamentations 4:15
English Standard Version
15 “Away! (A)Unclean!” people cried at them.
“Away! Away! Do not touch!”
So they became fugitives and wanderers;
people said among the nations,
“They shall stay with us no longer.”
Lamentations 2:17-22
English Standard Version
17 The Lord has done what he purposed;
he has carried out (A)his word,
which he commanded (B)long ago;
(C)he has thrown down (D)without pity;
(E)he has made the enemy rejoice over you
and exalted the (F)might of your foes.
18 Their heart cried to the Lord.
O (G)wall of the daughter of Zion,
(H)let tears stream down like a torrent
(I)day and night!
(J)Give yourself no rest,
(K)your eyes no respite!
19 “Arise, (L)cry out in the night,
at the beginning of the night watches!
(M)Pour out your heart like water
before the presence of the Lord!
(N)Lift your hands to him
for the lives of your children,
(O)who faint for hunger
at the head of every street.”
20 Look, O Lord, and see!
(P)With whom have you dealt thus?
(Q)Should women eat the fruit of their womb,
the children of (R)their tender care?
Should (S)priest and prophet be killed
in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 In the dust of the streets
(T)lie the young and the old;
(U)my young women and my young men
have fallen by the sword;
(V)you have killed them in the day of your anger,
slaughtering (W)without pity.
22 You summoned as if to (X)a festival day
(Y)my terrors on every side,
(Z)and on the day of the anger of the Lord
no one escaped or survived;
(AA)those whom I held and raised
my enemy destroyed.
Lamentations 2:1-8
English Standard Version
The Lord Has Destroyed Without Pity
2 How the Lord in his anger
has set the daughter of Zion (A)under a cloud!
(B)He has cast down from heaven to earth
the splendor of Israel;
he has not remembered (C)his footstool
in the day of his anger.
2 The Lord (D)has swallowed up (E)without mercy
all the habitations of Jacob;
in his wrath (F)he has broken down
the strongholds of the daughter of Judah;
he has brought (G)down to the ground (H)in dishonor
the kingdom (I)and its rulers.
3 He has cut down in (J)fierce anger
all (K)the might of Israel;
(L)he has withdrawn from them his right hand
in the face of the enemy;
(M)he has burned like a flaming fire in Jacob,
consuming all around.
4 (N)He has bent his bow like an enemy,
with his right hand set (O)like a foe;
and he has killed all who were delightful in our eyes
in the tent of the daughter of Zion;
he has poured out his fury like fire.
5 (P)The Lord has become like an enemy;
(Q)he has swallowed up Israel;
(R)he has swallowed up all its palaces;
he has laid in ruins its strongholds,
and he has multiplied in the daughter of Judah
(S)mourning and lamentation.
6 He has laid waste his booth like a garden,
laid in ruins (T)his meeting place;
(U)the Lord has made Zion forget
festival and (V)Sabbath,
and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest.
7 (W)The Lord has scorned his altar,
(X)disowned his sanctuary;
(Y)he has delivered into the hand of the enemy
the walls of her palaces;
(Z)they raised a clamor in the house of the Lord
as on the day of festival.
8 (AA)The Lord determined to lay in ruins
(AB)the wall of the daughter of Zion;
(AC)he stretched out the measuring line;
he did not restrain his hand from destroying;
(AD)he caused rampart and wall to lament;
(AE)they languished together.
Lamentations 1:21
English Standard Version
21 “They heard[a] (A)my groaning,
yet (B)there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
(C)they are glad that you have done it.
You have brought[b] the day you announced;
(D)now let them be as I am.

English Standard Version
19 “When a woman has a discharge, and the discharge in her body is blood, she shall be in her menstrual impurity for seven days, and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening. 20 (A)And everything on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean. Everything also on which she sits shall be unclean. 21 And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. 22 And whoever touches anything on which she sits shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening. 23 Whether it is the bed or anything on which she sits, when he touches it he shall be unclean until the evening. 24 And (B)if any man lies with her and her menstrual impurity comes upon him, he shall be unclean seven days, and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.
25 “If (C)a woman has a discharge of blood for many days, not at the time of her menstrual impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her impurity, all the days of the discharge she shall continue in uncleanness. As in the days of her impurity, she shall be unclean. 26 Every bed on which she lies, all the days of her discharge, shall be to her as the bed of her impurity. And everything on which she sits shall be unclean, as in the uncleanness of her menstrual impurity. 27 And whoever touches these things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening.
