| New American Standard (NAS) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 How lonely sits the city That was full of people ! She has become like a widow Who was once great among the nations ! She who was a princess among the provinces Has become a forced laborer ! | 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. |
