2. She weeps sorely in the night,her tears are on her cheeks;among all her loversshe has none to comfort her.All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;they have become her enemies.
3. Judah has gone into captivity,under affliction and great servitude;she dwells among the nations,she finds no rest;all her persecutors overtook herin the midst of distress.
4. The roads to Zion mournbecause no one comes to the solemn feasts.All her gates are desolate;her priests sigh,her virgins are afflicted,and she herself suffers bitterly.
5. Her adversaries have become her masters,her enemies prosper;for the Lord has afflicted herbecause of the multitude of her transgressions.Her children have gone into captivitybefore the enemy.
6. From the daughter of Zionall her beauty has departed.Her princes have become like deerthat find no pasture;they fled without strengthbefore the pursuer.
