5. Her enemies have become her masters. Her foes are living it upbecause God laid her low, punishing her repeated rebellions.Her children, prisoners of the enemy, trudge into exile.
6. All beauty has drained from Daughter Zion’s face.Her princes are like deer famished for food,chased to exhaustion by hunters.
7. Jerusalem remembers the day she lost everything,when her people fell into enemy hands, and not a soul there to help.Enemies looked on and laughed, laughed at her helpless silence.
8. Jerusalem, who outsinned the whole world, is an outcast.All who admired her despise her now that they see beneath the surface.Miserable, she groans and turns away in shame.
