4  The roads to Zion mourn,

for none come to ^lthe festival;

^mall her gates are desolate;

her priests ⁿgroan;

her virgins have been afflicted,¹

and she herself suffers bitterly.

21  “They heard^{1 d}my groaning,

yet ^ethere is no one to comfort me.

All my enemies have heard of my trouble;

^fthey are glad that you have done it.

You have brought² the day you announced;

^fnow let them be as I am.

22  ^g“Let all their evildoing come before you,

and deal with them

as ^hyou have dealt with me

because of all my transgressions;

for ^dmy groans are many,

and ⁱmy heart is faint.”
