August 28: Lamentations 1–2
Lamentations 1–2 Lamentations 1–2 (Listen) How Lonely Sits the City 1 How lonely sits the city<br /> that was full of people!<br /> How like a widow has she become,<br /> she who was great among the nations!<br /> She who was a princess among the provinces<br /> has become a slave.<br /> 2 She weeps bitterly in the night,<br /> with tears on her cheeks;<br /> among all her lovers<br /> she has none to comfort her;<br /> all her friends have dealt treacherously with her;<br /> they have become her enemies.<br /> 3 Judah has gone into exile because of affliction1<br /> and hard servitude;<br /> she dwells now among the nations,<br /> but finds no resting place;<br /> her pursuers have all overtaken her<br /> in the midst of her distress.2<br /> 4 The roads to Zion mourn,<br /> for none come to the festival;<br />
