Lamentations 1:1-5

1How doth the cityH5892 sitH3427 desolateH910, that wasfullH7227 of peopleH5971! how is she become as a widowH490! she that was greatH7227 among the nationsH1471, and princessH8282 among the provincesH4082, how is she become a forced labourerH4522!

2She weepethH1058 bitterlyH1058 in the nightH3915, and her tearsH1832 are on her cheeksH3895: among all her loversH157 she hath none to comfortH5162 her : all her friendsH7453 have dealt treacherouslyH898 with her, they are become her enemiesH341.

3JudahH3063 is gone into captivityH1540 because of afflictionH6040, and because of greatH7230 servitudeH5656: she dwellethH3427 among the heathenH1471, she findethH4672 no restH4494: all her persecutorsH7291 overtookH5381 her in the midst of distressH4712.1

4The waysH1870 of ZionH6726 do mournH57, because none comeH935 to the solemn feastsH4150: all her gatesH8179 are desolateH8074: her priestsH3548 sighH584, her virginsH1330 are afflictedH3013, and she is in bitternessH4843.

5Her adversariesH6862 are the headH7218, her enemiesH341 prosperH7951; for the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 her for the multitudeH7230 of her transgressionsH6588: her childrenH5768 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 the enemyH6862.
