Lamentations 1:3-5
Legacy Standard Bible

Gimel

3 (A)Judah has gone into exile because of affliction
And because of great slavery;
She sits (B)among the nations,
But she has found no rest;
All (C)her pursuers have overtaken her
In the midst of [a]distress.

Daleth

4 The roads [b]of Zion are in mourning
Because (D)no one comes to the appointed times.
All her gates are (E)desolate;
Her priests are sighing,
Her (F)virgins are grieving,
And she herself [c]is (G)bitter.

He

5 Her adversaries have become [d]her masters;
Her enemies are complacent;
For [e]Yahweh has (H)caused her grief
Because of the greatness of her transgressions;
Her infants have gone away
As captives before the adversary.
