Lamentations 1:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 Each night, bitter tears
flood her cheeks.
None of her former lovers
are there to offer comfort;
her friends[a] have betrayed her
and are now her enemies.
3 The people of Judah are slaves,
suffering in a foreign land,
with no rest from sorrow.
Their enemies captured them
and were terribly cruel.[b]
4 The roads to Zion mourn
because no one travels there
to celebrate the festivals.
The city gates are deserted;
priests are weeping.
Young women are raped;[c]
Zion is in sorrow!
Lamentations 1:2-4
New International Version
2 Bitterly she weeps(A) at night,
tears are on her cheeks.
Among all her lovers(B)
there is no one to comfort her.
All her friends have betrayed(C) her;
they have become her enemies.(D)
