Lamentations 1:4-6
GOD’S WORD Translation
4 “The roads to Zion are deserted.[a]
No one comes to the annual festivals.
No one passes through any of its gates.[b]
Its priests are groaning.
Its young women are made to suffer.
Zion is bitter.
5 Its opponents are now in control.
Its enemies have no worries.
The Lord made Zion suffer for its many rebellious acts.
Its children go ahead of their opponents into captivity.
6 All splendor has abandoned the people of Zion.
Its influential people were like deer that couldn’t find any pasture.
They ran without any strength ahead of the hunters.
Lamentations 1:4-6
New International Version
4 The roads to Zion mourn,(A)
for no one comes to her appointed festivals.
All her gateways are desolate,(B)
her priests groan,
her young women grieve,
and she is in bitter anguish.(C)
