Lamentations 1

How doth the city sit solitary, [that was] full of people! [how] is she become as a widow! she [that was] great among the nations, [and] princess among the provinces, [how] is she become tributary!

Lamentations 2

How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, [and] cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!

Lamentations 3

I [am] the man [that] hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

Lamentations 4

How is the gold become dim! [how] is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street.

Lamentations 5

Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
