Lamentations 1:6-8
Revised Standard Version
6 From the daughter of Zion has departed
all her majesty.
Her princes have become like harts
that find no pasture;
they fled without strength
before the pursuer.
7 Jerusalem remembers
in the days of her affliction and bitterness[a]
all the precious things
that were hers from days of old.
When her people fell into the hand of the foe,
and there was none to help her,
the foe gloated over her,
mocking at her downfall.
8 Jerusalem sinned grievously,
therefore she became filthy;
all who honored her despise her,
for they have seen her nakedness;
yea, she herself groans,
and turns her face away.

6 And from the daughter of Zion
All her splendor has departed.
Her princes have become like deer
That find no pasture,
That [a]flee without strength
Before the pursuer.
7 In the days of her affliction and roaming,
Jerusalem (A)remembers all her pleasant things
That she had in the days of old.
When her people fell into the hand of the enemy,
With no one to help her,
The adversaries saw her
And mocked at her [b]downfall.
8 (B)Jerusalem has sinned gravely,
Therefore she has become [c]vile.
All who honored her despise her
Because (C)they have seen her nakedness;
Yes, she sighs and turns away.
