Lamentations 1 (NKJV)

¹ Has become a slave! ² They have become her enemies. ³ All her persecutors overtake her in dire straits. ⁴ And she is in bitterness. ⁵ Her children have gone into captivity before the enemy. ⁶ Before the pursuer. ⁷ And mocked at her downfall. ⁸ Yes, she sighs and turns away. ⁹ For the enemy is exalted!” ¹⁰ Not to enter Your assembly. ¹¹ For I am scorned.” ¹² In the day of His fierce anger. ¹³ And faint all the day. ¹⁴ The Lord delivered me into the hands of those whom I am not able to withstand. ¹⁵ The virgin daughter of Judah. ¹⁶ Because the enemy prevailed.” ¹⁷ Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them. ¹⁸ Have gone into captivity. ¹⁹ To restore their life. ²⁰ At home it is like death. ²¹ That they may become like me. ²² And my heart is faint.”
