⁴ The roads to Zion^(A) mourn,
for no one comes to the appointed festivals.^(B)
All her gates are deserted;
her priests groan,
her young women grieve,
and she herself is bitter.

⁵ Her adversaries have become her masters;^(C)
her enemies are at ease,^(D)
for the Lord has made her suffer
because of her many transgressions.
Her children have gone away
as captives before the adversary.

³³ For He does not enjoy bringing affliction^(A)
or suffering on mankind.
