3  ⁱJudah has gone into exile because of affliction¹

and hard servitude;

^jshe dwells now among the nations,

^kbut finds no resting place;

her pursuers have all overtaken her

in the midst of her distress.²

6  From the daughter of Zion

all her majesty has departed.

Her princes have become like deer

^tthat find no pasture;

they fled without strength

before the pursuer.

43  “You have wrapped yourself with anger and pursued us,

^lkilling without pity;

19  Our pursuers were ^sswifter

than the eagles in the heavens;

they chased us on the mountains;

they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.

5  ^fOur pursuers are at our necks;

we are weary; we are given no rest.
