Lamentations 1:6-8
The Message
6 All beauty has drained from Daughter Zion’s face.
Her princes are like deer famished for food,
chased to exhaustion by hunters.
7 Jerusalem remembers the day she lost everything,
when her people fell into enemy hands, and not a soul there to help.
Enemies looked on and laughed, laughed at her helpless silence.
8 Jerusalem, who outsinned the whole world, is an outcast.
All who admired her despise her now that they see beneath the surface.
Miserable, she groans and turns away in shame.
Lamentations 1:6-8
New International Version
6 All the splendor has departed
from Daughter Zion.(A)
Her princes are like deer
that find no pasture;
in weakness they have fled(B)
before the pursuer.
