Lamentations 1:2-4

English Standard Version

^2 (A)She weeps bitterly in the night,
    with tears on her cheeks;
^(B)among all her lovers
    she has ^(C)none to comfort her;
^(D)all her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
    they have become her enemies.

^3 (E)Judah has gone into exile because of affliction^[a]
    and hard servitude;
^(F)she dwells now among the nations,
    ^(G)but finds no resting place;
her pursuers have all overtaken her
    in the midst of her distress.^[b]

⁴ The roads to Zion mourn,
    for none come to ^(H)the festival;
^(I)all her gates are desolate;
    her priests ^(J)groan;
her virgins have been afflicted,^[c]
    and she herself suffers bitterly.
