Lamentations 1:1-2

Lament over Jerusalem
א Aleph
1 How[a] she sits alone,(A)
the city(B) once crowded with people!
She who was great among the nations
has become like a widow.(C)
The princess among the provinces
has been put to forced labor.
ב Beth
2 She weeps bitterly during the night,(D)
with tears on her cheeks.
There is no one to offer her comfort,
not one from all her lovers.[b](E)
All her friends have betrayed her;
they have become her enemies.
Amos 5:2

2 She has fallen;
Virgin Israel(A) will never rise again.(B)
She lies abandoned on her land
with no one to raise her up.(C)
