Book 25 Lamentations

25:001:001 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!

25:001:002 She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her
           cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all
           her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become
           her enemies.

25:001:003 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and
           because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen,
           she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between
           the straits.

25:001:004 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.

25:001:005 Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.

25:001:006 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.

25:001:007 Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.

25:001:008 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.

25:001:009 Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last
           end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no
           comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath
           magnified himself.

25:001:010 The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant
           things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her
           sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter
           into thy congregation.

25:001:011 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider; for I am become vile.

25:001:012 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.

25:001:013 From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back
