THE VOICE OF THE DAUGHTER OF ZION

 ^{JEREMIAH 4:29-31}

^{THE WHOLE CITY SHALL FLEE} 

^{FOR THE NOISE OF} 

^{THE HORSEMAN AND BOWMAN;} 

^{THEY SHALL GO} 

^{INTO THICKETS, AND CLIMB UP} 

^{UPON THE ROCKS:} 

^{EVERY CITY SHALL BE FORSAKEN,} 

^AND 

^{NOT A MAN DWELL THEREIN.} 

^AND 

^{WHEN THOU ART SPOILED,} 

^{WHAT WILT THOU DO?} 

^THOUGH

^{THOU CLOTHEST THYSELF WITH CRIMSON,} 

^{THOUGH THOU DECKEST THEE WITH} 

^{ORNAMENTS OF GOLD,} 

^{THOUGH THOU RENTEST} 

^{THY FACE WITH PAINTING,} 

^{IN VAIN SHALT THOU MAKE} 

^{THYSELF FAIR;} 

^{THY LOVERS} 

^{WILL DESPISE THEE,} 

^{THEY WILL SEEK THY LIFE.} 

 

^{FOR I HAVE HEARD} 

^{A VOICE AS OF A WOMAN} 

^{IN TRAVAIL,} 

^{AND THE ANGUISH} 

^{AS OF HER THAT BRINGETH} 

^{FORTH HER FIRST CHILD,} 

^{THE VOICE OF THE DAUGHTER OF ZION,} 

^{THAT BEWAILETH HERSELF,} 

^{THAT SPREADETH HER HANDS,} 

^{SAYING, WOE IS ME NOW!} 

^{FOR MY SOUL IS WEARIED} 

^{BECAUSE OF MURDERERS.} 

 

^LOVE
