Lamentations 1:1-3 LSB
Zion Lays Desolate
Aleph
1 How lonely sits the city
That was great with people!
She has become like a widow
Who was once great among the nations!
She who was a princess among the provinces
Has become a forced laborer!
Beth
2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
And her tears are on her cheeks;
She has none to comfort her
Among all her lovers.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies.
Gimel
3 Judah has gone into exile because of affliction
And because of great slavery;
She sits among the nations,
But she has found no rest;
All her pursuers have overtaken her
In the midst of distress.
