Lamentations 1:1-4
1HowH3491 lonelyH910 liesH3427 the cityH5892,once so fullH7227 of peopleH5971!She who was greatH7227 among the nationsH1471has becomeH1961 a widowH490.The princessH8282 of the provincesH4082has becomeH1961 a slaveH4522.
2She weeps aloudH1058 in the nightH3915,with tearsH1832 uponH5921 her cheeksH3895.Among allH3605 her loversH157there is no oneH369 to comfortH5162 her.AllH3605 her friendsH7453 have betrayedH898 her;they have becomeH1961 her enemiesH341.
3JudahH3063 has gone into exileH1540under afflictionH6040 and harshH7230 slaveryH5656;sheH1931 dwellsH3427 among the nationsH1471but findsH4672 noH3808 place to restH4494.AllH3605 her pursuersH7291 have overtaken herH5381in the midstH996 of her distressH4712.
4The roadsH1870 to ZionH6726 mournH57,because no oneH1097 comesH935 to her appointed feastsH4150.AllH3605 her gatesH8179 are desertedH8074;her priestsH3548 groanH584,her maidensH1330 grieveH3013,and she herselfH1931 is bitter with anguishH4751.
