5
Der Herr ist wie ein Feind geworden, Er hat verschlungen Israel, verschlungen alle seine Paläste, verdorben seine Festungen und gemehrt über die Tochter Jehudahs Geächze und Ächzen.
Klagelieder 2:5
This translation of the Bible was made by Leonhard Tafel, and published in 1911. Tafel was a leader of the Swedenborgian movement in Germany during the 1800's, and a leading Bible scholar. In this translation, Tafel followed the original Hebrew and Greek carefully, so as to preserve the inner layers of meaning that were explained in Swedenborg's exegetical works - also translated from Latin into German by Tafel and his sons.
