• Lam 1:2-9 : 2 Bitterly she weeps in the night, tears on her cheeks. There is no one to comfort her—all who loved her have betrayed her; they have become her enemies. 3 Judah has gone into exile, suffering and hard service. She lives among the nations but finds no rest. All her pursuers have overtaken her in narrow places. 4 The roads to Zion mourn, for no one comes to her appointed festivals. All her gates are desolate; her priests groan, her young women grieve, and she is in bitter anguish. 5 Her adversaries have become her masters; her enemies prosper because the LORD has afflicted her for her many sins. Her children have gone into captivity before the enemy. 6 All the splendor has departed from Daughter Zion. Her princes are like deer that find no pasture; they flee without strength before the pursuer. 7 In the days of her affliction and wandering, Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into the hand of the enemy, there was no one to help her. Her enemies saw her and mocked her downfall. 8 Jerusalem has sinned greatly and so has become unclean. All who honored her despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans and turns away. 9 Her uncleanness clings to her skirts; she did not consider her future. Her fall was astounding; there was no one to comfort her. "Look, LORD, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed."
