Lamentations 1 New International Version (NIV)1 [a]How deserted lies the city, 2 Bitterly she weeps at night, 3 After affliction and harsh labor, 4 The roads to Zion mourn, 5 Her foes have become her masters; 6 All the splendor has departed 7 In the days of her affliction and wandering 8 Jerusalem has sinned greatly 9 Her filthiness clung to her skirts; 10 The enemy laid hands 11 All her people groan 12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? 13 “From on high he sent fire, 14 “My sins have been bound into a yoke[b]; 15 “The Lord has rejected 16 “This is why I weep 17 Zion stretches out her hands, 18 “The Lord is righteous, 19 “I called to my allies 20 “See, Lord, how distressed I am! 21 “People have heard my groaning, 22 “Let all their wickedness come before you; Footnotes:
