^5 (A)Her foes have become the head;
    her ^(B)enemies prosper,
because ^(C)the Lord has afflicted her
    ^(D)for the multitude of her transgressions;
^(E)her children have gone away,
    captives before the foe.

⁶ From the daughter of Zion
    all her majesty has departed.
Her princes have become like deer
    ^(F)that find no pasture;
they fled without strength
    before the pursuer.

⁷ Jerusalem remembers
    in the days of her affliction and wandering
^(G)all the precious things
    that were hers from ^(H)days of old.
When her people fell into the hand of the foe,
    and there was none to help her,
her foes gloated over her;
    they ^(I)mocked at her downfall.
