All her
majesty Has
departed from the
daughter of
Zion; Her
princes have
become like
deer That have
found no pasture; And they have
fled without strength Before the
pursuer.

In the
days of her
affliction and
homelessness Jerusalem remembers all her
precious things That were from the
days of
old, When her
people fell into the
hand of the
adversary And
no one helped her. The
adversaries saw her, They
mocked at her
ruin.

Jerusalem sinned greatly,
Therefore * she has
become an
unclean thing.
All who
honored her
despise her
Because they have
seen her
nakedness;
Even she
herself groans and
turns away.

Her
uncleanness was in her
skirts; She did not
consider her
future. Therefore she has
fallen astonishingly; She
has no comforter.
"See, O
LORD, my
affliction, For the
enemy has
magnified himself!"

The
adversary has
stretched out his
hand Over all her
precious things, For she has
seen the
nations enter her
sanctuary, The ones
whom You
commanded That they should not
enter into Your
congregation.
