LAMENTATIONS
[I
- 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,
- 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.
- The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things:
