哀叹锡安居民被掳

先前满有人民的城,现在何竟独坐!先前在列国中为大的,现在竟如寡妇!先前在诸省中为王后的,现在成为进贡的! 她夜间痛哭,泪流满腮。在一切所亲爱的中间,没有一个安慰她的。她的朋友都以诡诈待她,成为她的仇敌。 犹大因遭遇苦难,又因多服劳苦,就迁到外邦。她住在列国中,寻不着安息,追逼她的都在狭窄之地将她追上。

Jerusalem in Affliction

How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
(A)How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The (B)princess among the provinces
Has become a [a]slave!

She (C)weeps bitterly in the (D)night,
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.

(E)Judah has gone into captivity,
Under affliction and hard servitude;
(F)She dwells among the [b]nations,
She finds no (G)rest;
All her persecutors overtake her in dire straits.

How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!

She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.

Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
