Lamentations 1:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Her adversaries [a]are the chief, and her enemies prosper: for the Lord hath afflicted her, for the multitude of her transgressions, and her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
6 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become [b]like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
7 Jerusalem remembered the days of her affliction, and of her rebellion, and all her pleasant things that she had in times past, when her people [c]fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversary saw her, and did mock at her [d]Sabbaths.
