Lamentations 1:1-2
New Century Version
Jerusalem Cries over Her Loss
1 Jerusalem once was full of people,
but now the city is empty.
Jerusalem once was a great city among the nations,
but now she[a] is like a widow.
She was like a queen of all the other cities,
but now she is a slave.
2 She cries loudly at night,
and tears are on her cheeks.
There is no one to comfort her;
all who loved her are gone.
All her friends have turned against her
and are now her enemies.
