New Living Translation

Lamentations 1:1-2 New Living Translation (NLT)

1. Jerusalem, once so full of people,is now deserted.She who was once great among the nationsnow sits alone like a widow.Once the queen of all the earth,she is now a slave.

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 herand become her enemies.
