Lamentations 1:5-7

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁵ Her adversaries have become ^[a]her masters,
Her enemies ^[b]prosper;
For the Lord has ^(A)caused her grief
Because of the multitude of her transgressions;
Her little ones have gone away
As captives before the adversary.
⁶ All her ^(B)majesty
Has departed from the daughter of Zion;
Her princes have become like deer
That have found no pasture;
And they have ^[c](C)fled without strength
Before the pursuer.
⁷ In the days of her affliction and homelessness
^(D)Jerusalem remembers all her precious things
That were from the days of old,
When her people fell into the hand of the adversary
And ^(E)no one helped her.
The adversaries saw her,
They ^(F)mocked at her ^[d]ruin.
