Lamentations:1:2-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
Her adversaries are the chief ro #
sh #,
her enemies prosper ;
for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions :
her children are gone into captivity before the enemy .
*
And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed :
her princes are become like harts that find no pasture mir #
eh #,
and they are gone without strength before the pursuer .
*
Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old ,
when her people fell into the hand of the enemy ,
and none did help her :
the adversaries saw her ,
and did mock at her sabbaths .
*
Jerusalem hath grievously sinned ;
therefore she is removed :
all that honoured her despise her ,
because they have seen her nakedness :
yea ,
she sigheth ,
and turneth backward .
*
Her filthiness is in her skirts ;
she remembereth not her last end ;
therefore she came down wonderfully :
she had no comforter .
O LORD ,
behold my affliction :
for the enemy hath magnified himself .
