Lamentations 1:5-8
5Her adversaries are becomeH1961 the headH7218, her enemiesH341 prosper;For Jehovah hath afflicted her for the multitudeH7230 of her transgressionsH6588:Her young childrenH5768 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628 before the adversary.6And from the daughterH1323 of Zion all her majestyH1926 is departed:Her princesH8269 are becomeH1961 like harts that findH4672 no pastureH4829,And they are goneH3318 without strengthH3581 before the pursuerH7291.7JerusalemH3389 remembereth in the daysH3117 of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that were from the daysH3117 of old:When her peopleH5971 fellH5307 into the handH3027 of the adversary, and none did helpH5826 her,The adversaries sawH7200 her, they did mock at her desolations.8JerusalemH3389 hath grievously sinnedH2398; thereforeH3651 she is becomeH1961 as an unclean thing;All that honoredH3513 her despise her, because they have seenH7200 her nakednessH6172:Yea, she sigheth, and turneth backwardH268.
