Lamentations 1:5 MSG/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 5 Her enemies have become her masters. Her foes are living it up because God laid her low, punishing her repeated rebellions. Her children, prisoners of the enemy, trudge into exile. | 5 Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. The LORD has brought her grief because of her many sins. Her children have gone into exile, captive before the foe. |
