Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

And Jeremiah took up the keys of the temple, and went out of the city, and cast them before the sun, saying: To you I speak, O sun, take the keys of the temple of God, and guard them until the day in which the Lord shall require them of you.
But Baruch put dust upon his head, and sat down, and wept this lamentation, saying: Why is Jerusalem laid waste? Because of the sins of the beloved people she was delivered into the hands of enemies, because of our sins and the sins of the people.
But let not the lawless boast, and say, We have prevailed to take the city of God by our own strength; rather it was because of our sins that she was delivered to you.
