(B)all her gates are desolate;
    her priests (C)groan;
her virgins have been afflicted,[a]
    and she herself suffers bitterly.

  1. Lamentations 1:4 Or, appointed feast

He has laid waste his booth like a garden,

    festival and (C)Sabbath,
and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest.

And hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
