Lamentations 1:1-3

Revised Geneva Translation

1 How solitary sits the city that was full of people! She is as a widow. She who was great among the nations, princess among the provinces, has been made a forced laborer!

² She weeps continually in the night, and her tears run down her cheeks. Among all her lovers she has no one to comfort her. All her friends have dealt unfaithfully with her and are her enemies.

³ Judah has been carried away captive because of affliction and because of great servitude. She dwells among the heathen and finds no rest. All her persecutors overtook her in the midst of her distress.
