Lamentations 1:2

2  She weeps bitterly in the night,

with tears on her cheeks;

among all her blovers

she has none to comfort her;

all her friends have dealt treacherously with her;

they have become her enemies.


Lamentations 1:9

9  Her uncleanness was in her skirts;

she took no thought of her future;1

therefore her fall is terrible;

she has no comforter.

“O Lord, behold my affliction,

for the enemy has triumphed!”


Lamentations 1:16–17

16  “For these things nI weep;

my eyes flow with tears;

for a comforter is far from me,

one to revive my spirit;

my children are desolate,

for the enemy has prevailed.”

17  Zion ostretches out her hands,

but there is none to comfort her;

the Lord has commanded against Jacob

that his neighbors should be his foes;

Jerusalem has become

a filthy thing among them.


Lamentations 1:21

21  “They heard1 my groaning,

yet there is no one to comfort me.

All my enemies have heard of my trouble;

they are glad that you have done it.

You have brought2 the day you announced;

now let them be as I am.
