Lamentations 1:5-7
Legacy Standard Bible
He
5 Her adversaries have become [a]her masters;
Her enemies are complacent;
For [b]Yahweh has (A)caused her grief
Because of the greatness of her transgressions;
Her infants have gone away
As captives before the adversary.
Vav
6 So all her (B)majesty
Has gone out from the daughter of Zion;
Her princes have become like deer
That have found no pasture;
So they have [c](C)fled without strength
Before the pursuer.
Zayin
7 In the days of her affliction and homelessness
(D)Jerusalem remembers all her precious things
That were from the days of old,
When her people fell into the hand of the adversary
And (E)no one helped her.
The adversaries saw her;
They (F)laughed at her [d]ruin.
