Lamentations 1:3-5

Tree of Life Version

⁴ The roads to Zion mourn
        for no one comes to her moadim.
All her gates are desolate.
        Her kohanim groan,
her maidens^[a] grieve—
        she is in bitter anguish.
⁵ Her foes have become her masters.
        Her enemies are at ease.
    For Adonai has afflicted her,
        because of her many transgressions.
    Her children have gone away
        as captives before the adversary.
