Lamentations 1
1 How lonely she is now,
the once crowded city!
Widowed is she
who was mistress over nations;
The princess among the provinces
has been made a toiling slave.
2 Bitterly she weeps at night,
tears upon her cheeks,
With not one to console her
of all her dear ones;
Her friends have all betrayed her
and become her enemies.
3Judah has filed into exile
from opposition and cruel slavery;
Yet where she lives among the nations
she finds no place to rest:
All her persecutors come upon her
where she is narrowly confined.
4The roads to Zion mourn
for lack of pilgrims going to her feasts,
All her gateways are deserted,
her priests groan,
Her virgins sigh;
she is in bitter grief.
