Lamentations 1:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 Every vestige of splendor
has departed from the daughter of Zion.[a]
Her princes have become like stags
that can find no pasture;
with their strength exhausted
they flee before their pursuers.
7 In the days of her misery and distress
Jerusalem will remember those times
when her people were overcome by the enemy,
and she had no one to help her.
Her foes mocked her unceasingly
and laughed over her downfall.
8 Because Jerusalem had sinned so grievously,
she was regarded as an object of defilement.
All those who honored her now despise her
after having beheld her nakedness.
She herself groans in anguish
and turns her face away.
