Lamentations 1:4; Lamentations 1:5; Lamentations 1:12; Lamentations 3:32; Lamentations 3:33

4 The roads of Zion are in mourning Because no one comes to the appointed feasts. All her gates are desolate; Her priests are groaning, Her virgins are afflicted, And she herself is bitter.

5 Her adversaries have become her masters, Her enemies prosper; For the LORD has caused her grief Because of the multitude of her transgressions; Her little ones have gone away As captives before the adversary.

12 "Is it nothing to all you who pass this way? Look and see if there is any pain like my pain Which was severely dealt out to me, Which the LORD inflicted on the day of His fierce anger.

32 For if He causes grief, Then He will have compassion According to His abundant lovingkindness.

33 For He does not afflict willingly Or grieve the sons of men.
