Lamentations 1:5-7
Modern English Version
5 Her adversaries have become her masters,
her enemies prosper;
for the Lord has afflicted her
because of the multitude of her transgressions.
Her children have gone into captivity
before the enemy.
6 From the daughter of Zion
all her beauty has departed.
Her princes have become like deer
that find no pasture;
they fled without strength
before the pursuer.
7 In the days of her affliction and misery
Jerusalem remembers all her pleasant things
that she had in the days of old.
When her people fell into the hand of the enemy,
there was no one to help her.
The adversaries saw her
and mocked at her desolation.
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)
