⁴ The roads ^[a]of Zion are in mourning
Because ^(A)no one comes to the appointed times.
All her gates are ^(B)desolate;
Her priests are sighing,
Her ^(C)virgins are grieving,
And she herself ^[b]is ^(D)bitter.

⁵ Her adversaries have become ^[c]her masters;
Her enemies are complacent;
For ^[d]Yahweh has ^(E)caused her grief
Because of the greatness of her transgressions;
Her infants have gone away
As captives before the adversary.

⁶ So all her ^(F)majesty
Has gone out from the daughter of Zion;
Her princes have become like deer
That have found no pasture;
So they have ^[e](G)fled without strength
Before the pursuer.
