“ All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they are become her enemies.
3Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude;
she dwells among the nations, she finds no rest:
all her persecutors overtook her within the straits.
4The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly;
all her gates are desolate, her priests do sigh:
her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness. ”

“ The adversaries saw her, they did mock at her desolations.
8Jerusalem has grievously sinned; therefore she is become as an unclean thing;
all who honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness:
yes, she sighs, and turns backward.
9Her filthiness was in her skirts; she didn’t remember her latter end;
therefore is she come down wonderfully; she has no comforter:
see, Yahweh, my affliction; for the enemy has magnified himself. ”

“ Our houses to aliens.
3We are orphans and fatherless;
Our mothers are as widows.
4We have drunken our water for money;
Our wood is sold to us.
5Our pursuers are on our necks:
We are weary, and have no rest. ”

“ That the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem.
13It is because of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests,
That have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her.
14They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood,
So that men can’t touch their garments.
15Depart! they cried to them, Unclean! depart, depart, don’t touch!
When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, They shall no more sojourn here.
16The anger of Yahweh has scattered them ”
