⁴ The roads ^[a]of Zion are in mourning
Because ^(A)no one comes to the appointed times.
All her gates are ^(B)desolate;
Her priests are sighing,
Her ^(C)virgins are grieving,
And she herself ^[b]is ^(D)bitter.

⁸ Jerusalem sinned ^(A)greatly;
Therefore ^(B)she has become an impure thing.
All who honored her despise her
Because they have seen her nakedness;
Even ^(C)she herself sighs and turns away.

²² Let all their evil come before You;
And ^(A)deal severely with them as You have dealt severely with me
For all my transgressions;
For my groans are great and my heart is faint.”
