Lamentations 1:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ The ways of Zion lament, because no one comes to the solemn feasts; all her gates are desolate. Her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in heaviness.

⁵ Her adversaries are her masters; her enemies prosper. For the LORD has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions. Her children have gone into captivity before the enemy,

⁶ and all her beauty has departed from the daughter of Zion. Her princes have become like deer that find no pasture; and they have gone without strength before the pursuer.
