哀叹锡安的遭遇

从前人烟稠密的城中,现在怎么竟然孤独地坐在那里。

从前在列国中为大的,现在怎么竟然像个寡妇。

从前在众省份中为王后的,现在怎么竟然成了奴隶。

她在夜间痛哭,泪流满面。

在她所有亲爱的人中,没有一个安慰她的。

她所有的朋友都以诡诈待她,都成了她的仇敌。

[a]How deserted(A) lies the city,
    once so full of people!(B)
How like a widow(C) is she,
    who once was great(D) among the nations!
She who was queen among the provinces
    has now become a slave.(E)

Bitterly she weeps(F) at night,
    tears are on her cheeks.
Among all her lovers(G)
    there is no one to comfort her.
All her friends have betrayed(H) her;
    they have become her enemies.(I)
