Lamentations 1:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Judah is carried away captive, because [a]of affliction, and because of great servitude, she dwelleth among the heathen, and findeth no rest: all her persecutors took her in the straits.
4 The ways of Zion lament, because no man cometh[b]to the solemn feasts, all her gates are desolate: her Priests sigh: her virgins are discomfited, and she is in [c]heaviness.
5 Her adversaries [d]are the chief, and her enemies prosper: for the Lord hath afflicted her, for the multitude of her transgressions, and her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
