Lamentations 1:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 She weepeth continually in the [a]night, and her tears run down by her cheeks: among all her [b]lovers, she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt unfaithfully with her, and are her enemies.
3 Judah is carried away captive, because [c]of affliction, and because of great servitude, she dwelleth among the heathen, and findeth no rest: all her persecutors took her in the straits.
4 The ways of Zion lament, because no man cometh[d]to the solemn feasts, all her gates are desolate: her Priests sigh: her virgins are discomfited, and she is in [e]heaviness.
