⁵ Her adversaries have become her masters;^(A)
her enemies are at ease,^(B)
for the Lord has made her suffer
because of her many transgressions.
Her children have gone away
as captives before the adversary.

⁶ All the splendor^(C) has vanished
from Daughter Zion.^(D)
Her leaders are like stags
that find no pasture;
they stumble away exhausted
before the hunter.^(E)

⁷ During the days of her affliction and homelessness^(F)
Jerusalem remembers all her precious belongings
that were hers in days of old.
When her people fell into the adversary’s hand,
she had no one to help.
The adversaries looked at her,
laughing over her downfall.
