Lamentations 1:2-9

ECB(i) 2 In weeping, she weeps in the night - her tears on her cheeks; of all her lovers, none sigh over her; all her friends deal treacherously with her - become her enemies. 3 Yah Hudah is exiled because of humiliation and because of abundant servitude; she settles among the goyim, she finds no rest; all her pursuers overtake her between the straits. 4 The ways of Siyon mourn; no one comes to the congregation festivals; all her portals are desolate; her priests sigh; her virgins grieve; she is embittered. 5 Her tribulators become her heads; her enemies serenify; for Yah Veh grieves her for the abundance of her rebellions; her infants are captured at the face of the tribulator: 6 all majesty departs from the daughter of Siyon; her governors become as harts finding no pasture - gone without force from the face of the pursuer. 7 Yeru Shalem remembers the days of her humiliation and of her persecutions; all her desires from the days of antiquity - when her people fell into the hand of the tribulator and she had no helper: the tribulators saw her and ridiculed her shabbathisms. 8 In sinning, Yeru Shalem sinned; so she is removed; all who honored her, disesteem her; because they see her nakedness: yes, she sighs and turns backward. 9 Her foulness is in her hems; she remembers not her finality: she descends marvellously; she has no one to sigh. O Yah Veh, see my humiliation; for the enemy greatens.
