And go out from the daughter of Zion doth all her honour, Her princes have been as harts -- They have not found pasture, And they go powerless before a pursuer.

Remembered hath Jerusalem [In] the days of her affliction and her mournings, all her desirable things that were from the days of old, In the falling of her people into the hand of an adversary, And she hath no helper; Seen her have adversaries, They have laughed at her cessation.

A sin hath Jerusalem sinned, Therefore impure she hath become, All who honoured her have esteemed her lightly, For they have seen her nakedness, Yea, she herself hath sighed and turneth backward.

When her people fell into enemy hands,
    there was no one to help her.(C)

    and laughed(D) at her destruction.

    and so has become unclean.(F)
All who honored her despise her,
    for they have all seen her naked;(G)
she herself groans(H)
    and turns away.
