Lamentations:1:1-4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
How doth the city sit solitary ,
that was full of people !
how is she become as a widow !
she that was great among the nations ,
and princess among the provinces ,
how is she become tributary !
*
She weepeth sore in the night ,
and her tears are on her cheeks :
among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her :
all her friends have dealt treacherously with her ,
they are become her enemies .
*
Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction ,
and because of great servitude :
she dwelleth among the heathen ,
she findeth no rest :
all her persecutors overtook her between the straits .
*
The ways of Zion do mourn ,
because none come to the solemn feasts mow #
ed #:
all her gates are desolate :
her priests sigh ,
her virgins are afflicted ,
and she is in bitterness .
