Lamentations 1:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ The ·beauty [splendor; majesty] of ·Jerusalem [^Lthe daughter of Zion; ^Cthe location of the Temple; Ps. 48:1–3]
    has gone away.
Her rulers are like deer
    that cannot find ·food [^Lpasture].
They ·are weak [^Lgo without strength]
    ·and run from the hunters [^Lbefore those who pursue/chase/persecute them].

⁷ Jerusalem ·is suffering and homeless.
    She [^L…in the days of her affliction and homelessness] remembers all the ·good [desirable; coveted] things
    from the ·past [^Lformer days].
But her people ·were defeated by the enemy [^Lfell to the power/hand of the foe],
    and there was no one to help her.
When her ·enemies [foes] saw her,
    they laughed ·to see her ruined [at her downfall].

⁸ Jerusalem sinned terribly,
    so she has become ·unclean [or an object of mockery].
Those who honored her now ·hate [despise] her,
    because they have seen her nakedness.
She groans
    and turns away.
