¹How lonely lies the city, ²She weeps aloud in the night, ³Judah has gone into exile ⁴The roads to Zion mourn, ⁵Her foes have become her masters; ⁶All the splendor has departed ⁷In the days of her affliction and wandering ⁸Jerusalem has sinned greatly; ⁹Her uncleanness stains her skirts; ¹⁰The adversary has seized ¹¹All her people groan ¹²Is this nothing to you, all you who pass by? ¹³He sent fire from on high, ¹⁴My transgressions are bound into a yoke, ¹⁵The Lord has rejected ¹⁶For these things I weep; ¹⁷Zion stretches out her hands, ¹⁸The LORD is righteous, ¹⁹I called out to my lovers, ²⁰See, O LORD, how distressed I am! ²¹People have heard my groaning, ²²Let all their wickedness come before You,
