3. Judah has gone into exile,after oppression and harsh labor;She dwells among the nations,yet finds no rest:All her pursuers overtake herin the narrow straits.
4. The roads to Zion mourn,empty of pilgrims to her feasts.All her gateways are desolate,her priests groan,Her young women grieve;her lot is bitter.
5. Her foes have come out on top,her enemies are secure;Because the Lord has afflicted herfor her many rebellions.Her children have gone away,captive before the foe.
6. From daughter Zion has goneall her glory:Her princes have become like ramsthat find no pasture.They have gone off exhaustedbefore their pursuers.
