Lamentations 1:1-3
Good News Translation
The Sorrows of Jerusalem
1 (A)How lonely lies Jerusalem, once so full of people!
Once honored by the world, she is now like a widow;
The noblest of cities has fallen into slavery.
2 All night long she cries; tears run down her cheeks.
Of all her former friends, not one is left to comfort her.
Her allies have betrayed her and are all against her now.
3 Judah's people are helpless slaves, forced away from home.[a]
They live in other lands, with no place to call their own—
Surrounded by enemies, with no way to escape.
Footnotes
- Lamentations 1:3 are helpless … home; or fled from home, from the misery of slavery.
