Lamentations 1:6-8
International Standard Version
6 Fled from cherished[a] Zion
are all that were her splendor.
Her princes have become like deer
that cannot find their feeding grounds.
They flee with strength exhausted
from their pursuers.
7 Jerusalem remembers[b]
her time of affliction and misery;
all her valued belongings[c]
of days gone by,
when her people fell into enemy hands,
with no one to help her,
and her enemies stared at her,
mocking her downfall.
8 Jerusalem sinned greatly,
and she became unclean.[d]
All who honored her now despise her,
because they saw her naked.
She herself groans
and turns her face away.
