Lamentations 1:1 KJV/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 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! | 1 How deserted lies the city, once so full of people! How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations! She who was queen among the provinces has now become a slave. |
