Lamentations 1:3-5
New King James Version
Lamentations 1:3-5
New King James Version
3 (A)Judah has gone into captivity,
Under affliction and hard servitude;
(B)She dwells among the [a]nations,
She finds no (C)rest;
All her persecutors overtake her in dire straits.
4 The roads to Zion mourn
Because no one comes to the [b]set feasts.
All her gates are (D)desolate;
Her priests sigh,
Her virgins are afflicted,
And she is in bitterness.
5 Her adversaries (E)have become [c]the master,
Her enemies prosper;
For the Lord has afflicted her
(F)Because of the multitude of her transgressions.
Her (G)children have gone into captivity before the enemy.
