Lamentations 1:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become [a]like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
7 Jerusalem remembered the days of her affliction, and of her rebellion, and all her pleasant things that she had in times past, when her people [b]fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversary saw her, and did mock at her [c]Sabbaths.
8 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned, therefore she is [d]in derision: all that honored her, despise her, because they have seen her filthiness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.
