Under affliction and hard servitude;
bShe dwells among the1 nations,
She finds no crest;
All her persecutors overtake her in dire straits.
Because no one comes to the1 set feasts.
All her gates are adesolate;
Her priests sigh,
Her virgins are afflicted,
And she is in bitterness.
Her enemies prosper;
For the Lord has afflicted her
bBecause of the multitude of her transgressions.
Her cchildren have gone into captivity before the enemy.
All her splendor has departed.
Her princes have become like deer
That1 find no pasture,
That flee without strength
Before the pursuer.
Jerusalem aremembers all her pleasant things
That she had in the days of old.
When her people fell into the hand of the enemy,
With no one to help her,
The adversaries saw her
And mocked at her1 downfall.
