The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the [a]solemn assembly;
All her gates are desolate, her priests do sigh:
Her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies prosper;
For Jehovah hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions:
Her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary.
And from the daughter of Zion all her [b]majesty is departed:
Her princes are become like harts that find no pasture,
And they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
