5  Her foes have become the ^ehead;

her enemies prosper,

because the Lord has afflicted her

for the multitude of her transgressions;

^fher children have gone away,

captives before the foe.

8  Jerusalem sinned grievously;

therefore she became filthy;

all who honored her despise her,

for they have ⁱseen her nakedness;

she herself groans

and turns her face away.

14  “My transgressions were bound¹ into a ^myoke;

by his hand they were fastened together;

they were set upon my neck;

he caused my strength to fail;

the Lord gave me into the hands

of those whom I cannot withstand.
