5  ^oHer foes have become the head;

her ^penemies prosper,

because ^qthe Lord has afflicted her

^rfor the multitude of her transgressions;

^sher children have gone away,

captives before the foe.

8  ^xJerusalem sinned grievously;

therefore she became filthy;

all who honored her despise her,

^yfor they have seen her nakedness;

she herself ^zgroans

and turns her face away.

18  ^w“The Lord is in the right,

^xfor I have rebelled against his word;

but hear, all you peoples,

and see my suffering;

^ymy young women and my young men

have gone into captivity.
