Lamentations 1:2-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
2
She weeps bitterly in the night,
And her tears are on her cheeks;
She has no one to comfort her
Among all her lovers.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies.
3
Judah has gone into exile out of affliction
And harsh servitude;
She lives among the nations,
But
she has not found a resting place;
All those who pursued her have overtaken her
In the midst of distress.
4
The roads of Zion are in mourning
Because no one comes to an appointed feast.
All her gates are deserted;
Her priests groan,
Her virgins are worried,
And as for
Zion
herself, it is bitter for her.
5
Her adversaries have become her masters,
Her enemies are secure;
For the
Lord
has caused her grief
Because of the multitude of her wrongdoings;
Her little ones have gone away
As captives led by the enemy.
King James Version
Chapter 1
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
2
She weeps bitterly during the night,
with tears on her cheeks.
There is no one to offer her comfort,
not one from all her lovers.
All her friends have betrayed her;
they have become her enemies.
3
Judah has gone into exile
following affliction and harsh slavery;
she lives among the nations
but finds no place to rest.
All her pursuers have overtaken her
in narrow places.
4
The roads to Zion mourn,
for no one comes to the appointed festivals.
All her gates are deserted;
her priests groan,
her young women grieve,
and she herself is bitter.
5
Her adversaries have become her masters;
her enemies are at ease,
for the
Lord
has made her suffer
because of her many transgressions.
Her children have gone away
as captives before the adversary.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
2
She sobs through the night;
tears stream down her cheeks.
Among all her lovers,
there is no one left to comfort her.
All her friends have betrayed her
and become her enemies.
3
Judah has been led away into captivity,
oppressed with cruel slavery.
She lives among foreign nations
and has no place of rest.
Her enemies have chased her down,
and she has nowhere to turn.
4
The roads to Jerusalem are in mourning,
for crowds no longer come to celebrate the festivals.
The city gates are silent,
her priests groan,
her young women are crying —
how bitter is her fate!
5
Her oppressors have become her masters,
and her enemies prosper,
for the
Lord
has punished Jerusalem
for her many sins.
Her children have been captured
and taken away to distant lands.
English Standard Version

she has none to comfort her;
all her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
they have become her enemies.
3
Judah has gone into exile because of affliction
and hard servitude;
she dwells now among the nations,
but finds no resting place;
her pursuers have all overtaken her
in the midst of her distress.
4
The roads to Zion mourn,
for none come to the festival;
all her gates are desolate;
her priests groan;
her virgins have been afflicted,
and she herself suffers bitterly.
5
Her foes have become the head;
her enemies prosper,
because the
Lord
has afflicted her
for the multitude of her transgressions;
her children have gone away,
captives before the foe.
New International Version

2
Bitterly she weeps at night,
tears are on her cheeks.
Among all her lovers
there is no one to comfort her.
All her friends have betrayed her;
they have become her enemies.
3
After affliction and harsh labor,
Judah has gone into exile.
She dwells among the nations;
she finds no resting place.
All who pursue her have overtaken her
in the midst of her distress.
4
The roads to Zion mourn,
for no one comes to her appointed festivals.
All her gateways are desolate,
her priests groan,
her young women grieve,
and she is in bitter anguish.
5
Her foes have become her masters;
her enemies are at ease.
The
Lord
has brought her grief
because of her many sins.
Her children have gone into exile,
captive before the foe.
