Lamentations 1:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 The ways of Zion lament, because no man cometh[a]to the solemn feasts, all her gates are desolate: her Priests sigh: her virgins are discomfited, and she is in [b]heaviness.
5 Her adversaries [c]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.
6 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become [d]like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
