Lamentations 1:3-5
Names of God Bible
3 “Judah has been exiled after much suffering and harsh treatment.
Its people live among the nations; they find no rest.
Those who chased them caught up with them
in places where there was no way out.
4 “The roads to Zion are deserted.[a]
No one comes to the annual festivals.
No one passes through any of its gates.[b]
Its priests are groaning.
Its young women are made to suffer.
Zion is bitter.
5 Its opponents are now in control.
Its enemies have no worries.
Yahweh made Zion suffer for its many rebellious acts.
Its children go ahead of their opponents into captivity.
