⁵ Her foes have risen to the top. Her enemies prosper.
    Because of her many acts of rebellion, the Lord has brought grief to her.
    Her children have gone into captivity in the presence of the foe.
⁶ The daughter of Zion^[a] has lost all her splendor.
    Her officials have become like deer that find no pasture.
    Powerless, they fled before^[b] the pursuer.
⁷ Jerusalem remembers the days of her affliction and her homeless wandering.
    She remembers all her precious things which were hers from long ago.
    When her people fell under the hand of the foe, there was no one to help her.
    Foes saw her and laughed at the end she has come to.
