[:en]Thoughts from Lamentations 1[:]

[:en]Jeremiah lamented about Jerusalem.  Before, she was a queen among the provinces but now she had become a slave (v. 1)  All her splendor had departed, and her enemies laughed at her destruction (v. 6)  Her friends betrayed her and became her enemies (v. 2)  There was no one to comfort her (vs. 9, 21)[:]
