Lamentations 1:2-4
World English Bible

2 She weeps bitterly in the night.
    Her tears are on her cheeks.
Among all her lovers
    she has no one to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her.
    They have become her enemies.

3 Judah has gone into captivity because of affliction
    and because of great servitude.
She dwells among the nations.
    She finds no rest.
    All her persecutors overtook her in her distress.

4 The roads to Zion mourn,
    because no one comes to the solemn assembly.
All her gates are desolate.
    Her priests sigh.
Her virgins are afflicted,
    and she herself is in bitterness.

Lamentations 1:2-4
New International Version

2 Bitterly she weeps(A) at night,
    tears are on her cheeks.
Among all her lovers(B)

All her friends have betrayed(C) her;
    they have become her enemies.(D)

3 After affliction and harsh labor,
    Judah has gone into exile.(E)
She dwells among the nations;
    she finds no resting place.(F)
All who pursue her have overtaken her(G)
    in the midst of her distress.

4 The roads to Zion mourn,(H)
    for no one comes to her appointed festivals.
All her gateways are desolate,(I)
    her priests groan,
her young women grieve,
    and she is in bitter anguish.(J)
