Lamentations 1:5-7

World English Bible

⁵ Her adversaries have become the head.
    Her enemies prosper;
for Yahweh^[a] has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions.
    Her young children have gone into captivity before the adversary.

⁶ All majesty has departed from the daughter of Zion.
    Her princes have become like deer that find no pasture.
    They have gone without strength before the pursuer.

⁷ Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and of her miseries
    all her pleasant things that were from the days of old;
when her people fell into the hand of the adversary,
    and no one helped her.
The adversaries saw her.
    They mocked at her desolations.
