Lamentations 1:5-7
Common English Bible
5 Her adversaries have become rulers; her enemies relax.
Certainly the Lord caused her grief because of her many wrong acts.
Her children have gone away, captive before the enemy.
6 Daughter Zion lost all her glory.
Her officials are like deer that can’t find pasture.
They have gone away, frail, before the hunter.
7 While suffering and homeless, Jerusalem remembers all her treasures from days long past.
When her people fell by the enemy’s hand, there was no one to help her.
Enemies saw her, laughed at her defeat.
Lamentations 1:5-7
New International Version
5 Her foes have become her masters;
her enemies are at ease.
The Lord has brought her grief(A)
because of her many sins.(B)
Her children have gone into exile,(C)
captive before the foe.(D)
