1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
aHow like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The bprincess among the provinces
Has become a1 slave!
That was full of people!
aHow like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The bprincess among the provinces
Has become a1 slave!
2 She aweeps bitterly in the bnight,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies.
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies.
3 aJudah has gone into captivity,
Under affliction and hard servitude;
bShe dwells among the1 nations,
She finds no crest;
All her persecutors overtake her in dire straits.
Under affliction and hard servitude;
bShe dwells among the1 nations,
She finds no crest;
All her persecutors overtake her in dire straits.
